<" (;; >_<)> Some weird synchronicity / シンクロがおかしい!

Oh, well — I’ve been meaning to create some new paintings and other works and post them here —
During the last two weeks or so, every time I got down to work on them, a very rush writing job came in. Quite disturbed, I turned down a certain writing job offer, and finished the ones I already was working on. So, I began to concentrate on some accessory sketches and a painting. Then, the client called me again, saying she found no one to take that same writing job and was in trouble! I almost finished it yesterday, but then another one came in!

So, for now, I have to dig into some old drawings I made years ago, at cafes —
A ball-point pen drawing I made at a neighborhood cafe. There was a nice old instrument to make water drip coffee, and I found it attractive and made a quick pen sketch of it. (Man, sometimes ball-point pens are quite handy!) While I was drawing, my cell phone rang and someone asked me to come to places called “Akiba” and “Kotobuki-cho” in/around Tokyo. (Some shelters for homeless people were there, and I was asked to help them as a volunteer.) So, I wrote down some memos on the same paper.

やれやれ~~ 新しい絵画やその他を描いて、ここに投稿しようとしてきたのですが~~
この2週間ほど、私が絵に集中しようとすると、大急ぎのライティングの仕事が入ってきます。イヤになったので、あるライティングの仕事を断って、既存の同種の仕事を終わらせました。そしてアクセサリーのスケッチと絵画に集中しようとしたら ・・・ その断った仕事のクライアントが再度連絡してきて、「だれもやってくれない!困った!」とおっしゃるわけですね。昨日、それをほぼ終わらせたのですが、すると別の急ぎのライティングが入ってきました!

そんなわけで、今のところはまたもや、何年も昔にカフェで描いたスケッチから —
近所のカフェに、古いウォータードリップのコーヒーメーカーがあって、それをボールペンでさっと描いたものです。(ときに、ボールペンは大変便利です)  描いていると携帯電話が鳴って、秋葉(東京の秋葉原)と(横浜の)寿町に来ませんかと、お誘い。(ホームレスの方々のためのシェルターがあって、ボランティアとして手伝え、というわけです) それで、AkibaとかKotobukichoなどとメモも書いてあるわけですね。

The coffee from this instrument was really good!
