The Days Gone Fast

I want to try retracing the map from Home to Paris through the exploration of different media.

The gray water-based dual brush pen gave a smoother touch to the line. I worked fast with it, having to move forward without letting too much ink to smudge the paper. I was struggling to find my way to replicate the original drawing within a rush. This is how I felt that time passed by so fast while I was in the midst of figuring out the cultural aspects, feeling out of control, and so much more.

The paintbrush dipped into black gouache gave a rougher finish to the line. I worked slow with it, as I kept running out of paint. I felt frustrated while regathering paint on to the brush repeatedly after I drew for a few centimeters each time. There were obstacles that I had to pass through, challenges that I had to face. I grew to be patient as I encountered countless situations.

Dry Cleaning My Shoes

I like to keep my shoes clean because I tend to wear them for a long time, at least a few years. In order to keep it new, I do the cleaning, about every 1-2 weeks.

I clean my Keds shoes with a bottle of Keds Sneaker Refreshener and Biolane wet wipes. Spray the Keds Sneaker Refreshener on my Keds shoes, I use Biolane wet wipes I wipe the surface of the white welt and rub as much stain off as possible, creating bubbles. At last, I wipe off the bubbles. And now, it’s clean once again!
