Love this!

Love the sketch! Also, the historical context really adds flavour.

Lovely!

A sketchbook is held up in front of the scene depicted. A skateboarder rolls through a graffitied skatepark with many features and obstacles. Some trees are visible in the distance. That thing they say about doing one thing a day thay scares you? It's worth it to feel really alive!

An ink sketch of a rather muscular Korean Buddha rupa done with Diamine Tobacco Sunburst ink. He is seated in Lotus posture with hands in the diamond mudra. May all who see this experience joy and calm.

May all beings be free of all suffering 🙏 Here's a sketch I did of a Korean Buddha rupa that my kids gave me. Diamine Tobacco Sunburst ink - so luminous and fitting for this sketch. #sketch #inksketch #sketchbook #buddha #buddhism #metta #artyear

A sketchbook is held up in front of the scene depicted. An orange setting sun is obscured by wildfire smoke. In the foreground parking lot lights and a cell tower stand in front of trees and a cityscape. Karma's a bitch, ain't it?
