Waiting... Waiting.... And Waiting....

I am not a fan of waiting in line at the US Post Office, especially during Saturday.. I was waiting in line to receive my package and a change of address slip for my relocation..

Will be missed

Sketching my Apartment complex just before moving out.. I’m going to miss this place, I really love the area and the layout of my flat.. The complex is really close to the mountain base on the west side of Las Vegas near Red Rock. I’m not really too keen about relocating either…

stairs and shadow

A sketch of the staircase of where I work at.

Why won't this disgusting Taco chain die?

I just don't understand why this Roberto's Taco Shop is popular.. All of their food are pure fake.. From fake chips, canned meats, canned veggies, tortilla, beans, fake nacho-like cheese (probably cheez-whizz), salsa, etc... I tried it once and would never buy a dime from them again! It was nasty and just bad as Taco Bell! Yes, it may be cheap.. But, Godly unhealthiest food ever!

Did this before heading to school, on Thursday.

Odd-insect

Same location as the previous sketch

I saw this odd-looking little insect crawling on my grey watercolour pencil, while laying on the grass.. It look like something that would come from a fiction!

I don't know what it is, but the bug sure is interesting looking! Black and orange pattern with spikes on it little back.. Oh, that an actual size of the bug. Which will give you an idea how tiny it is..

In Valor, There's Hope...

I saw this statue at the Metro Police Park, just right behind one of their main headquarter in the Northwest area of the suburban Las Vegas. The whole park is dedicated to the fallen law enforcement who have served in Las Vegas since the late 1890s. The statue is pretty interesting, showing a metal sculpture of our typical American Mascot.. The Bald Eagle. The Eagle is holding a shield (or a police badge?) with an interesting wrap-around of the American Flag. Also, there is a three triangular torch pillars with rustic flames (Olympics anyone?).
Done in ballpoint pen, watercolour pencil, and waterbrush

A headless lady...?

Sketching this at the movie theatre where I work, while waiting for my mother to see "How to train your Dragon."

Tub Corner

Bathtub corner

Trying to get my drawing loosen up more... I'm used to working stiffly.

A Game I wasn't paying much attention to...

Sketching at one of the local casino's Race and Sportsbook, yep.. The place where you can bet on teams to win money.. I never done it before and I not familiar with the betting structure...
The game that was on tv, which I wasn't really paying much attention to (I was too busy on sketching) the game. The game was Colorado Avalanche vs. Edmonton Oilers.. And the Oilers won at the end..
This done with ballpoint pen, watercolours pencil, and water brush..

The Lakes

Just breaking into my new Moleskine Watercolour sketchbook.
This is quite a hidden gem in Las Vegas area, I was surprised to see a man-made lake in the middle of the desert. You can see quite a lot of greenery, birds, ducks, and geese in the area.. Once I sat down on the grass, all the ducks and birds were walking up to me...Thinking I have something to eat which I do not have anything.. Poor guys, I should've brought something to feed.. I am such a sucker for animals and feeling really bad for them.. They were quacking (begging) at me for food, which was cute!

Vegas Style

At least this is an opportunity to do some sketching on people playing the slots.. I'm sure you don't get this very often unless if you visit the few major gambling hubs like Biloxi/Gulfport, Mississippi; Atlantic City, New Jersey; Reno, Nevada; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Las Vegas, Nevada...

Obama Rama!

Obama Rama- Sound like a fun name for an arcade game or penny slot machines?

Hmm.. I think I should stop trying to paint on a regular Moleskine Sketchbook. It not really getting along with my wet gouache/watercolours very well.. Blech..

Slow class day

I was bored at school.. It was a very slow day in class, so I decided to sketch and paint out my tool of trade and random things around the classroom.. A tree from outside look like it was peeling, a mac keyboard, a student working on his Flash assignment, and one of my Japanese classmate tweaking his project.. Oh and a panorama photo on a wall..
