Psalm 1


1 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.
4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

Phantom of the Opera

Last Saturday, some of us went to see Broadway show Phantom of the Opera. These were 5 sketches I made the Sunday after. Some of the memorable scenes that I could remember.

"Masquerade"
This was the actual view from where I was sitting. It was the most catchy and colorful scene. I combined two separate acts on this sketch: The Masquerade dancing with Raoul in black, and Phantom dressed in red descending the stairway.


"Hannibal rehearsal"
The first colorful scene. Notice Madame Giry watching from the side.


"Labyrinth underground"
The famous song 'Phantom of the Opera' everyone knows about.


"Graveyard at Peros"
In my opinion, the best song sang by Christine Daae was at the beginning of this act. This particular scene was near the end of this act, where Phantom challenging Raoul to a duel. I like the mausoleum too, secluded and perfect place for solitude : p



"Prologue"
This scene caught my attention as it was mostly brown and dark, gave a somber feeling and eerie musical monkey toy. I am not sure who was the old man on the wheelchair.

Ephesians 6:14-17


14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Past and Present

You probably wondering why do I keep posting very old sketches instead of new ones. I try to post all of my blog-worthy sketches in chronological order as best as I can remember(some old sketches were undated). Eventually I will start posting some of the more recent works. So hopefully you will return time after time to check up on what I have come up with. Thanks.
