I know this drawing is finished because it's dinner time.

It's ugly and it's beautiful.

Message to Michael - Dionne Warwick

Just because I love this song.

We're going on a road trip today. Up to the north coast of the Island. We'll pack the van with my kids and ten or so cousins. And lots of food. And have fun 🤣

Let me tell you about blue...

The Pacific ocean is so beautiful.

Today

colored pencil & pen, monrovia 1996

I started drawing these swirls. And then I went nuts drawing swirls. I must have drawn 50 of these swirl drawings. I drew them at work and at home. On my napkin at the restaurant. It was all I wanted to do. One day a friend came to my place. When she saw I was drawing another swirl drawing she made this sound of exacerbation and said, "Pat! what's going on?"

Tbh I felt a little embarassed. So I moved on to drawing squares...

I still have a bunch of those swirl drawings.

I really like this one.

The BUDOS BAND

colored pencil, calbayog city, 2025

I was doing this one all in reds and yellows, and it was on fire!

So, I decided to give the fire a bit of definition with dark blue lines, and, I might have gotten a bit carried away with the blue, but then, and I'm not sure why I didn't expect this but, I got these lovely browns.

We call that serendipity.

As a side note, Sean, my nine year old son says this is the worst drawing I've ever made..

He's a harsh critic.

I just want to say thank you. Your art offers a different perspective. I haven't had very much energy lately, but scrolling through tumblr and seeing your latest piece. I don't know what to say. Just a small glimpse and I was obsessed. It reminded me of the fact that everything large achievement is composed of a multitude of small goals. Art can change the direction of the world, and yours shifted my course a little.

Wow, thank you anonymous, you just made my day. - Patrick

Kitten invasion

watercolor and ballpoint pen

Calbayog City 2024

The kitten invasion continues. My wife set out a box of kitty litter and our new kittens have taken up residence. There's three of them. All greys with blue eyes. Our home is jumping with kitten energy.

Momma cat, a quiet calico I've known for a while, comes by periodically to check up on them.

Last night I found out that they're all crazy for cooked shrimp. We have tnat in common.
