Waiting, waiting……

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

It’s Monday morning, India time.
I’ve been just sitting in my room waiting. I’ve been trying to watch TV but it sucks. The cable signal keeps going out so all I can see is just a few minutes, if that, of whatever I’m watching. And, there’s only 3 or 4 English language channels to choose from [...]

Preparing to leave

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

I spent a few hours adjusting the colour of the 60 plastic masks. They needed a purple tone added so I mixed the blue and red Badger acrylics. Did they make purple? No. They made green, of course! I have no idea why. Ended up just doing an overspray of white.

Seeing Chennai

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

There are quite a few people here at Changi [...]

Trip #4 to India

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

I had an earlier flight this time. I left LAX at about 3pm. This time it wasn’t a direct flight either. Had a one-hour stop at Narita Airport outside of Tokyo. It was really interesting, too, as we couldn’t get off the plane till a crew of paper-suited, gloved, goggled and masked Japanese guys came [...]
