Just a note...

My hands just getting itchy, I need to draw, something...anything. It's been awhile now. Where have I been?

The Tome of Timeless Tales

The scanned work is a little over on the bright side. I need to readjust my scanner setting but too lazy to re-scan it since it has to be scanned in four different areas and stitch it back in Photoshop. Maybe one day...

The Book of Engineering

Applied Mathematics, Stemworks, Electronic Impression (The first two letter make up my name, sort of hidden message if you will), Ion Propulsion, Physics (can't have engineering without it), Mega Structure, Signal Interpretation, Hyper Logic, Quantum Algorithm, A.I., Artificial Life (the next progress in artificial intelligence)

*Easter Egg* The book depicted a sketch of a mouse trap mechanism from Mousehunt Game. It is a tactical trap called "Ambush" along with the droids. Can you find a reference to Blade Runner?

Proverbs 3:13-18 Lady of Wisdom

An illustration of Lady of Wisdom.

13 Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding,
14 for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed.

Design Cover - Learning Proverbs Step by Step volume 1

The idea for the cover is a man walking from darkness into light, from death into life (death is symbolized by a cemetery in the dark background), a rich ruler/prince forfeiting the wealth and richness of the world to pursue wisdom instead. Wisdom is more precious than gold or silver, here the man is showing losing his scepter, removing his regalia one by one as he take each step upward and closer to wisdom.

Design Cover - Learning Psalm Step by Step volume 2

The Cover Design for Learning Psalm volume 2 is taken from the last chapter of Psalm.

4 praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe,
5 praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals.

Cover Design - Learning Psalm Step by Step volume 1

The Design for the first volume of Learning Psalm is appropriately taken from Psalm 1.

"Amos, what did you see?"

Five Visions of Amos

Amos 7:1 This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me: He was preparing swarms of locusts after the king’s share had been harvested and just as the late crops were coming up.
 4 This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me: The Sovereign Lord was calling for judgment by fire; it dried up the great deep and devoured the land.
 8 And the Lord asked me, “What do you see, Amos?” “A plumb line,” I replied. Then the Lord said, “Look, I am setting a plumb line among my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.

Amos 8:1 This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me: a basket of ripe fruit.
 2 “What do you see, Amos?” he asked. “A basket of ripe fruit,” I answered. Then the Lord said to me, “The time is ripe for my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.

Amos the caretaker

Amos 7: 14 Amos answered Amaziah, “I was neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but I was a shepherd, and I also took care of sycamore-fig trees. 

15 But the Lord took me from tending the flock and said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’

From Lament to Joy

Amos 5:19 Triple Troubles

Amos 5:19
It will be as though a man fled from a lion only to meet a bear, as though he entered his house and rested his hand on the wall only to have a snake bite him.

Amos 4:1 Cow of Bashan

Amos 4:1 Hear this word, you cows of Bashan on Mount Samaria, you women who oppress the poor and crush the needy and say to your husbands, “Bring us some drinks!”

Amos 3 Without Cause

3 Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so? (newer version depicted two men walking together as friend travelling towards common destination instead of a couple)
4 Does a lion roar in the thicket when it has no prey? Does it growl in its den when it has caught nothing?
5 Does a bird swoop down to a trap on the ground when no bait is there? Does a trap spring up from the ground if it has not caught anything?
6 When a trumpet sounds in a city, do not the people tremble? When disaster comes to a city, has not the Lord caused it?
