Sketch Penang


My sketch done in July in Penang, Malaysia, as part of their Heritage Festival weekend.
It was exhibited in a couple of exhibitions and has now been posted back to me.
Brings back great memories hot weather, cool people, great sights and delicious food.

Busan sketching


Busan. A view from 2nd floor of cafe with Sasang Station to my left. 
Gimhae Airport is only 3 stops away - very handy.


Korea has many outdoor apparel stores.
So there are many people walking, hiking and riding bikes - all very well kitted out!


Flying Air New Zealand, very comfortable.
But as I was first row and facing a wall, there was not much to draw, so I chatted with the staff and sketched the galley - a bit of turbulence made for some wayward lines.
