Things I wrote

  • Hawthorne on Painting

    The book is made up of advice he gave to students as he taught along with notes people must have taken as he spoke about painting.

  • Water Rat of Wenchai

    Ava Lee is a forensic accountant who is also skilled in martial arts and goes after people to get money back they've stolen from her clients.

  • Bridge to Terabithia

    If you want a good story that will occupy an afternoon, I recommend it.

  • The Stone Sky

    Jemisin builds a fascinating world, one which I'm so glad I got to look into for a while.

  • 5-minute Sketching: Landscapes

    What I love about this book is how much sketching art work the author shows from many different artists.

  • People and tooling

    The way we build for the web right now feels problematic in so many ways. Instead of welcoming everyone from our teams with their various skills, we create layers of complexity that shut many out.

  • Coming to My Senses: The Making of a Counterculture Cook

    But it was towards the end of the book where she outlines how Chez Panisse came to be that fascinated me.

  • Sketch NOW Think Later

    If you have any interest in the topic, I recommend Daikubara's book, if for nothing more than seeing all his amazing sketches for inspiration.

  • Aging out

    I've been thinking about tech and aging lately.

  • Deliberate

    I've chosen a word to be my theme for 2018.

  • Manhattan Beach

    Anna and her story are what sucked me in. She is stubborn, adventurous, and daring for the era in which she lives.

  • Daily Drawing 2017: Fourth Quarter

    I did it! I finished the book and I drew pretty much every day in 2017.

  • Provenance

    Somehow, reading this book right before the holidays was perfect timing for me.

  • Curation

    I think that's why I still love RSS so much.

  • Clinging to hope

    Hang on to hope friends, it's what will keep us going and help us get out of bed after the hard days.
