Passengers


BRT (Bus Rapid Transport) is a commuter system in Semarang. As I live in the eastern and work in the western of the city I usually use this bus to get my office. This daytrip takes about 1 hour 20 mnt and I sometime do the sketching while the bus moves.

Here are two small pieces of paper that are a ticket to ride the bus, I use them to capture some passengers.
Using a ballpoint and I have to deal with the bus shake as it moves, accelerate and brake thru an overcrowded traffic.

Floral Ornament


I went to a funeral of a relative last Monday, 23rd August 2010 who passed away on Sunday evening. Try to remember what attracted my eyes when I was there ... a floral ornament.

There were two red flowers I don't know the name, then a Kenanga ( Canangium odorata ), Jasmine and also a Pandan leaf (Pandanus amaryllifolius) that is folded like an accordion.


Dino Senen wingi 23 Agustus 2010 aku nekani penguburan sedulur sing sedho. Aku nyobo ngeling eling opo sing menarik mripatku pas wayah kuwi ... yo kuwi hiasan kembang sing ono ing kranda. Ono Kembang abang tumpuk loro, terus kembang kenongo, melati lan godong pandang sing li tekuk tekuk koyo acordion ...


This is a sketch based on memory.A5 Canson sketchbook, drawing pen .2 and water colour.

The main temple in Pure Girinata Semarang. Pure is a Balinese shrine and this is the Pure for Balinese who live in Semarang. It is located in a summit of a small hill from where we can see the down town from above. See photograph over the city of Semarang from this site I took on 11 Sept 2010 here

All the Hindu temples have many detail ornament. I just did draw the impression, not an accurate approach.
