Seemed to have forgotten about this cucumber in the freezer. T'was a blessing in disguise as the icicle patterns were quite lovely.

Journey of Charon is a mixed media piece (graphite with digital coloring), based on Greek mythology's Ferryman of Hades. Charon travels in a canoe, giving his riders an intimate, uncomfortable experience into the underworld. The faceless figures add to the mystery of the piece.

Here are some photos of my visit to the Angel Island Immigration Station near San Francisco. Despite the notion that it was the "Ellis Island of the West", Angel Island was about "exclusion", mainly for the many Chinese immigrants. The poetry carved into the walls were visual lamentations of some detained.

Even though I'm a SF Bay Area native, I still love to "play tourist" and explore the city, where everything becomes a new inspiration. I just have to remember my walking shoes for the crazy hills.
