daily slice-of-life blog of a Gen-X dad
I set up my old easel and a small table so I could work on a painting that will be a birthday present. How fun to do a painting in acrylics again. It’s been so many years!
I have a short deadline (which I will miss) and I’ve been procrastinating, but I want to make sure the painting is just how I want it. And I’ve been using my iPad/Procreate to help with the design of it, which is a lot of fun. I’m already thinking of the next painting I want to make…
Mariko asked if I could make a painting for her for her upcoming birthday, so I went to the Jerry’s Artarama to buy some supplies. I’m kind of excited to paint!
I’ve been adding my GoPro videos to my YouTube channel, but instead of just uploading them directly, I thought I would add a bit of annotation to them. I don’t feel comfortable doing voice-overs or narrating in real-time, but I have been really enjoying adding text. It’s fun!
For editing, I’m using Adobe Premiere Pro which I am somewhat familiar with. I’ve heard that some people use iMovie on their iPads to edit video as well, which sounds intriguing and is something I might try in the future.
Anyway, if you have time, you can check out my YouTube channel or watch one of my bicycle videos below:

Feeling a bit melancholy and sad due to recent events. 😢
