A page in my old Journal

I clean the dust off my old Midori journals, here is a page in the middle, doodling and reading, reading a lot but can't recall what I read, all digested well I guess. John Dewey, Maxine Greene, B.F. Skinner and "Emphasis Art" by Robert Clements and Frank Wachowiak. No smart phone then, always good to keep a journal at all times.

2002 in New York.

One of those day when I was taking a break from the office routine, just play with the endorsing ink I found in my office stationery supply box.

This was done in July 2003, 5 months after returning to office from New York.

doodle at a meeting

I doodled to keep awake at a meeting. I listened while my hand moved.

LOTR characters

Found these in my stack of rough papers. I remember I was really bored then so I did these sketches in front of the TV on rough A4 papers with a normal ball point pen. I loved LOTR movies then and today I still love them.

IT show from 12 - 15 March 2009 at Suntec City was crazy. What recession? The IT sale went up compared to previous years. I met my old student who was demonstrating his drawing skill on the big wacom, I took up my sketchbook and did what he did on the digital screen. That attracted a lot of on-lookers. Finally, my husband and I bought a S$2000 Cintiq 12wx for my 14-year-old son and I said to him "you can undo and erase on the Wacom, I can't do that on my sketchbook."

If you look carefully at the lower part of the paper, the eyes are on a square grid......

HETAP

I did a cartoon based on the quote by Paul Torrance. In early 2001, I was the first course manager in TP to enrol into HETAP and graduated with an impressive teaching folio. HETAP is Higher Education Teaching Accredited Programme with SEDA, Staff and Educational Development Association, the professional association for staff and educational developers in the UK.
