Sketching in Bujo (Bullet Journal)

Sketching in my bullet journal with watercolor brush pens (these are non-archival ink dyes rather than pigmented archival watercolor markers).

These are very rough.

An example:

Five vultures on a branch.

Text: «”Gái Già” old ladies»

This is something of a multilingual pun. Some English dialects use “old bird” as slang for “old woman”, which corresponds to the Vietnamese wordplay “gái già” (old women is a rough translation that can’t capture the alliteration and tone play). And vultures sometimes remind me of older women in shawls chatting and gossiping, possibly while knitting in the park.

I will be doing, as illness allows, more than just art of animals, birds, and flowers; those are more or less a comfort zone for me, and I plan on doing more adiposes, buildings, and landscapes.
