More doodles from my journal. I enjoy being quiet and looking intently at things so I could draw them (how well I am able to draw them notwithstanding). I like the squiggly, sometimes rebellious lines that don't go where they're supposed to go; yet, the whole bunch of them somehow giving a relatively recognizable image anyway.
Lazy Monday. It was a holiday. We brought up a couple of collapsible chairs to the rooftop. I brought my journal. I spaced out and doodled. I traced the Makati skyline, the steel bars jutting out of the concrete post of the apartment building, the electric whatchamacallit beside the roof. The sunset was beautiful.
Today, still a free day. Doodled in Starbucks. I think I've doodled everything I can doodle inside a Starbucks coffee shop. I filled several pages just tracing the outline of the coffeemaking merchandise on the display rack. When the aircon got too cold for me, I stepped out and looked up and doodled some more.
Tomorrow will be hellish. No time for my journal for sure.

I'm a signature away from finishing my current journal. Actually, a signature and a few spreads. It'll be good to start a new one, a smaller, more compact journal as this is too heavy to lug around. And I lug it around all the time, complete with an assortment of pens, markers, and a date stamper. It takes up quite a bit of space in whatever bag I'm using. It'll probably take me three more weeks to finish it.
I doodle mostly the same things, the same sights. I'm a creature of habit. I like killing time in the same places. I have a regular drink. I like it like that.

Nice small green flowers.
Placed a bunch in a pitcher on my kitchen counter.
F placed a smaller bunch in a nice mug on his.

This double-exposure thing is fun, eh?

This is from my first ever attempt at double-exposure. Collab with F. The frames didn't align, but I like how some of the images can be spliced together; they flow into each other sort of. Here's one that I like. =) Yey. I think I might try this again!

Double-EX! XPro! Collab with thycursed of LomotionSG
Posted by u l a n on Thursday, July 17, 2008 at 6:27 PM.
I participated (thru Lomomanila) in a double-exposure collab with some members of Lomotion Singapore. I got a roll of exposed slide film from ian (aka thycursed) and shot over it. It's the Ian+Ian roll! Here are my favorites:
Lomo LC-A, Kodak Elitechrome, double-exposed and crossprocessed
That's ian (thycursed), i suppose, in the mirror; silhouette of leaf-less tree mine.
Person walking shot thycursed's. Kolektib image mine.
I'm guessing that's his foot on some seriously floral tiles. My feet on the lower right on a surface with less personality.
Mental note: Tree silhouettes work well in doublex.
The right side of the frame with the flowers -- mine. Yey! A successful doublex venture, methinks.
The whole set is here:

I couldn't go out to shoot because it was raining hard all day.
So, I took my craft bag (a canvas bag filled with various art supplies - cutter, cutting board, lots of paper in different weights and colors, scissors, pencils, pens and markers, glue) to a nearby coffeeshop and made this sleeve for a mix cd that I put together.
Made of 220 gsm board, I fashioned a simple sleeve that opens into a (very short) accordion fold booklet.
It is held shut by a cardboard band.
I love paper and old songs.
