Description I drew this ultra low budget abstract piece during a recent trip to China. Since I didn't bring any sketchbooks or quality pens with me to China, I had to settle for cheap small hotel paper and a cheaper ballpoint pen. Imagery is open to interpretation, but I felt a lot of joy, peace, and excitement during my vacation there.

It's always a kick when strangers are interested in one's art. At least, so it seems. Sometimes it can get pretty weird O_o But for the most part, it's a positive experience. I hope yours was.

Another fantastic submission with a title that grabbed my attention immediately. I love that you used found materials too instead of the usual. I've always had a weird obsession for anything with eyes in it which is why I am so attracted to your work... *eye* think
*I* envy your trip to China as well! Good for you
got pics?

I had to do a private setting on Facebook due to massive spamming, among other things. I'll note you if you are interested in friending me on Facebook.

Thank you very much. Yes, I was surprised it had some flow to it because it was a totally random, improvised drawing.

It amazes me that even with cheap materials, you can still shade so exquisitely well in biro!

tiamat9 In reply to SalHunter [2009-07-15 19:39:27 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much. Well, the pen I used to draw this with was practically useless. It was frequently drying up. I was lucky to get anything out of it.
