At San Marco Cafe in Trieste. I added the tap and the child by whim.

Sorry for the long pause! I had several conferences to prepare for. At least now I’m on vacation.

Me and my spirit / ๋‚˜์™€ ๋‚ด ์˜ํ˜ผ

Encouraged afterย our first collaboration, my daughter and I worked on another story. Again she wrote the story, and I illustrated it:


One fall evening couldnโ€™t be more peculiar. The sky was grey with weird bits of bobs that looked like hard bits of rock.

My spirit tugged my sleeve. I sensed she was scared. Since I was scared, too, I broke into a run. But as I did, something most extraordinary happened. My body slowly rose off the ground. It was so silent you could even hear a feather drop off a birdโ€™s wing. A second later, I was in a different world.

The sky wasnโ€™t grey any more. It was the most creamy type of yellow you could ever see. As I describe this, the smell was unbreathable. Even though the smell was disgusting, I decided to find something or someone to entertain me. As I lifted my head up, I was shocked to see a funky looking eye staring at me. It was big and floating. Something about it made me scared. At least I had my spirit inside me to keep me going. I finally made up my mind to ask:

โ€œWhatโ€™s your name, and what are you doing here?โ€

After a short silence, it said:

โ€œWhy should I tell you?โ€

The voice reminded me of a robot that was almost rusted.

โ€œI donโ€™t see why not. Iโ€™ll start first. My name is Roberta Smith Jenkins. But of course youโ€™ll say your own name.

โ€œI donโ€™t know what Iโ€™m doing here with my spirit. You see Iโ€™m new to this country. Canโ€™t you show me around?โ€

All this talking was making my throat dry.

โ€œMy nam i 1BZA47. Im hee fo a inaorโ€

I guessed he said โ€œI am here for an invader.โ€ But who would it be?

My legs had pins and needles in them, so I decided to stand up. Just then, I heard a siren and to my surprise, I was stuck in a red blob!

My horrible birthday / ๋น„์ฐธํ•œ ์ƒ์ผ

My daughter wants to write multi-volume stories, which turned out to be a daunting task, for anyone including an eight-year-old. So I suggested she start with a short one that fits within a page or two. She was not entirely happy with the restriction, but we made a deal that I would illustrate her story every time she finishes one. So here’s the first one (fiction, that is):

Me and my dad went out to buy some ice-cream becauseโ€ฆ it was my birthday! Dad didnโ€™t look that happy to buy me an ice-cream. I guess thatโ€™s because he thinks itโ€™s unhealthy.

I got a triple scoop of chocolate ice-cream on my mega sprinkle cone. After I said โ€œThank youโ€, we headed home.

But then, something terrible happened. I tripped over a rock, and went flying with my ice-cream onto another street. Luckily, I wasnโ€™t hurt badly, but my poor ice-cream became a sticky brown puddle with a lump. Dad was smiling when he came over to me. It seemed like he was so happy I dropped the ice-cream. I cried even more, I cried until we got home.

The lamp shade made a tilt, smearing the light against the arch and creating a space below, inviting a story. So it began.

The wings are based on a Halloween craft, appeared onย a previous post. It is drawn as a part of another piece, which I am working on.
