From the Bspot|Plane Sketches|December 5, 2006, Kuwait Airways Flight 178, Paris to Kuwait

On our way back to Kuwait from Paris. This time I had a window seat which I always prefer. The estimated flight time was 5 hours and 50 minutes. I was counting time by creating squares for each minute we were flying and methodically scratching them out. That flight (also a daytime flight) I saw […]

From the Bspot|Cold Day|Originally Posted August 20, 2009

It was a cold day in Paris when I did this sketch. I was in my hotel room playing with this watercolor brush/pen Amira bought me. It’s a plastic tube with a brush at the end. You fill it up with water and then brush over the surface to get a watercolory effect. It was […]

In our lives we experience people who cling. It’s hard to accept that someone you like/love may cling to you, so imagine having to deal with one you don’t even like.

2002 Vertical Sketchbook|Part One

In case anyone has or hasn’t noticed, I’ve been going through some boxes of old sketchbooks and scrap paper I’d hoarded (everything’s art, eyes rolled) over the years. I found so many partially used sketchbooks such as this one, mostly empty paged. It’s such a shame, I don’t know why I did that. I was […]

From the Bspot|Plane Sketches|December 17, 2008, Emirates Air|Kuala Lumpur to Dubai|Originally Posted June 26, 2009

I’m going to start posting my airplane sketches on here. These are drawings I do on a plane. Because I’m a nervous flyer-well, I used to be anyway-my sketching style changes. There is a purpose to most of these drawings and that’s to help me pass time.The drawings are different and distinguished in several ways. […]
