"Historically every pandemic disappears," says an expert. Last week there was a fall fest in the village. A great number of people flocked together. I was only one of few people who were wearing a mask. When will this end?

Reasons why they ride horses to go hunting
Am I the only one who is reminded of catching run-away slaves in the past? The photo taken at a Texas border area horrified many people.
A girl with stuffed animals
Over 300 Afghans arrived in Korea recently. Children received stuffed animals. What a wonderful idea! Some people are uneasy about having them on their soil. I hope we create room for everyone. I used a pen for a basic sketch and then a sharp pen for outlines. Careful hatching for tones were then added. (Photo: Anthony Wallace/AFP/Getty Images)
Blood Money
The Theranos trial is underway. Many people, especially those in power, were sucked into the CEO's robotic eyes, groundless vision, and big lies. Their condemnation calls for justice. How about people who relied on the blood test results returned by her black boxes?
Walking with an Umbrella and a plastic bag
A pen sketch done a few weeks ago based on a photo found on the web. A senior Korean. Each time I flip my sketchbook, I stop at the page and sense a strong loneliness. Would my mother look like her? Why is she carrying an umbrella on a sunny day? What does she have in her bag? Where is she going? The composition looks natural. It is challenging for me to limit the number of necessary strokes. Quick lines are attractive to me.
Waylon
After driving for long hours, we finally arrived in a cabin in Golconda, a town in the Shawnee area. Yet we were not sure about whether we were in the right place and then saw this little guy, Waylon. Yes, we arrived in our destination! He roamed in the yard and nearby forest freely and seemed content. First, I did the watercolor painting, using markers and cotton tips as I had left a brush at home. It became too dark and was losing a light taste. I proceeded to the second one. Drawings look better when a limited number of strokes are used. Both were left for Waylon and his family in the cabin.
Zoey
Zoey, Jackie's dog, passed a few days ago. About two years old. A beautiful dog that lived a short period. It is silly to assume that Jiffy is going to stay with me for a long time. He is six. I painted Zoey using pens and then added watercolor markers. Sketching was an easy part. Background painting requires creativity. I wanted to have some bright colors, but didn't know what to do. Watering down markers made some interesting effects.
