Using a Faber Castell Ecco Pigment and also Staedtler Triplus Roller I made some sketches on a Hotel Memo book 10x10cm. The logo of the hotel is printed soft in the mid of the page and on the bottom there is a hotel address and other contact info. It was nice to work on it . . . something that I didn't think before.

Street Food Stall

Street Food Stalls ... you can find them at all over the street in Indonesia. Some are stationary and some are mobile. The Mobile street food stall usually has a pair of wheels, so it is easy to move it over, or on the bike/motor bike. Some are just carried by the person who sells the food. They sell various food from fresh fruits such as 'rujak', noodle, nasi goreng, ice cream, siomay, burger, bakso or beefball. Some foods are sold pre cooked and others are cooked on order.

Bakul Kerak Telor

Bakul Kerak Telor iki aku gambar ing Kota Lama Jakarta, persis e ono ing komplek museum Fatahilah.

This sketch I made at Old Jakarta (Batavia). In an open public space in the front of old colonial building, now used as a museum, I found a man selling 'Kerak telor' a food made of an egg. Wearing a traditional cap 'kopiah' and enjoying his 'kretek', a cigarette with tobacco and clove, this man was waiting for some one who wanted his service.
