The fleeting moment had passed, beyond recall. Almost spider-like he looked now, crouched back on his bent limbs, with his protruding eyes. 'But where have you been to – sneaking off and sneaking back, you old villain? ' Gollum withdrew himself, and a green glint flickered under his heavy lids. Part of me was jealous of them in those beautiful outfits, but as a white person I’d stand out a lot more than the Asian foreign tourists, and maybe just look kind of silly.`I daresay,' said Sam. I wondered if there was any controversy about a religious site being used as a place for dress-up and photographs, but I didn’t see anyone shoot the tourists any obvious dirty looks.
There were lots of people strolling around and taking photos of one another at Wat Arun in beautiful traditional dress, and at first I thought they were a wedding party or something– but then I noticed the signs for costume rentals, and also heard a few of them speaking Korean. The bottom two sketches are some stealthy life drawing I did in Suvarnabhumi airport, and drawings of passerby from photos I took while visiting Wat Arun in Bangkok. I loved the abundance of power lines in the cities, too, as another visual sign of life and activity. It seemed like you could buy any sort of thing you could want, from produce to snacks to clothes to electronics, just walking down any single block. The top one is of a cool house in Chiang Mai with a little iced tea/drinks stand out front– I loved all of the tiny businesses all crammed next to each other in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, especially the ones with hand-painted or otherwise unique, eye-catching signage. Some more drawings from my sketchbook that I did while in Thailand at the beginning of the month!
