Minecraft!

Yup. It got to me, too. The FRENZYYY.

I am building a city. All the structures are arranged more or less how I think a city might end up planned and lived in, socioeconomically/commercially. Because I am a huge nerd.

Rich people houses!

Main Street, Anytown, USA.

Along with what you see above, I have also built:

• An art gallery
• A courthouse
• A pub
• A food cart
• A butcher shop
• A church
• A corporate headquarters
• A public rail (minecart) system

Again, because I am a huge nerd. It is so SOOTHING, though. Ermagerd.

More studies.

I wanted to practice some earth textures, so flipping open "Tibet: The Secret Continent" by Michael Peissel was a great place to start. Oh, Tibet.

And then my studious model posed for me a bit.

The benevolent tree.

My favorite in our local park. One day when I was feeling extremely depressed, I climbed and just sat in it for about 3 hours. It is a very, very kind tree. And today was a perfect autumn day - the last before it starts getting really chilly and unseasonal.

I really just want to capture how intense the lean is... it's boggling to the mind. You can just about walk up the trunk. I think continuing the blue stripe along the X-axis would have been a better design choice than the current rectangle background, but it's too late now! You win some, you lose some.

Meditative markering is one of life's pleasures.

Sho's Inn concept art.

Urban abstract in progress.

Water studies.

As much as I told the river to hold still, it wouldn't listen. Never have I known such stubbornness!
