January, Why Do You Hurry?

Just a doodle that I did this past week using the Sky Glory Free Ink Roller that I got from Little Town Store sometime in January. I initially thought they were gel pens but they are actually Ink roller pens which I love coz they have a more "watercolor" effect.

The week has been a blur with work sometimes getting in the way and decisions about my business trip (which is still not very clear at this point) still being discussed, but I think I had a great month last month and it was an awesome way to kickstart 2013. My creative momentum is absolutely spectacular and the more I draw, doodle, paint and make things, the more inspired I get every day. Thank you January for the inspiration!

Here are a few notable drawings for this month:

And since this is a good time to do some shameless plugging, this blog entry's title was taken from a song I wrote way back in 2011 to be included in my band KAZE's  album hopefully this year!!

John You Worry - KAZE

Blackbird Bar, Makati

John you worry, why do you hurry?

John you worry, it's the start of the year

You make me lonely in January

Til you come back, December will hold me near

Fireworks in the sky, you made it all worthwhile

Started singing the blues, said you'll be back in July

Captured by your charms, you held me in your arms

Goodbye is so overused, so I tried so hard not to cry

Oh dear, you worry me, the year ahead is long you see

Our hearts were ablaze, hormones were in a rage

Left me breathless for you, you had me trapped in a maze

The days had passed us by, we had to say goodbye

In winter you kept me warm, but summer came in way too late

The clouds have turned to gray, I would be yours if you could stay

Oh you promised me that you will be back soon

But the memories have faded 'til the month of June

Your guitar is playing softly in my ear

I wish that you had made it so perfectly clear...
