Volcano [Khmer]

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2003

OK, let’s go to the volcano for the cartoon meeting!

Volcano?

(Music) “Easy Like Sunday Morning”

Oh, it erupted a few years ago. Killed maybe two hundred.

Volcano?

Yeah, but they were mainly sightseers.

And what are we?

[Drawn @ Eternity Tattoo, Yogyakarta. I’m back in Cambodia now! Khmer translations resume with next cartoon.]

Mr. Fast

Tuesday, September 16th, 2003

I used to always draw fast…
In fact, I developed a real attitude.
Then I came to Cambodia.
Temples, Cyclos, food – everything NEW!
So many ideas – to show the place and the culture well…
I take pictures and draw slowly!

How to QuickDraw

Wednesday, August 13th, 2003

Get pen and paper.
Write the time of day on the top.
Now DRAW! As fast as you can.
Whatever is on your mind.

“My cousin’s head looks like a Sawmaw fruit.”
OK, finished?
“No wait…”
“OK, finished!”
Write the time.
Show your friends!
“Ha Ha Ha – Sawmaw!”
Now do it again.
