It has been forever (almost) since I last made an entry in this blog. Every now and then, I visit this place on the internet, to reminisce about the past, and sometimes see what someone would refer to in a conversation about something they saw or read in my old blogs.
The brushes have hardened and turned brittle, the paints had gone stiff inside their tubes, and the turps have evaporated from their loosely sealed bottles.
Fine, the past is the past. We all grow out of certain useless endevours and things as we grow old.
But just recently, I had to come up with gifts for my partner. Christmas was easy - I got her jewelry. Her birthday, which was was just a couple of days after Christmas was slightly more problematic when it comes to chosing a gift for the occasion. I had to give something that wont seem anti-climactic in relation to the Christmas gift I gave. Well, I could have given her a ticket to "Wicked" but I've heard the songs during a Cebu Pacific flight and to tell you the truth, I'm not a fan.
So I decided to come up with something handmade. I've thought of making a bead bracelet but that seems... well... gay. If anything, I'm suppose to highlight my masculinity. Macho is the word of the day.
So I came up with a few drawings. Well, it might not be as macho as macho would go, but it's a better alternative to all the other handmade items I could think of.
This is not it of course. This is just a preliminary sketch. I'd post the finish drawings after I give the final pieces to her.
Doing artsy stuff ain't so bad. It's kinda therapeutic. I should however, make sure it doesn't interfere with the other things that I do. I tend to lose focus on important things in favor of a sketch or painting.
