Art of the Week #25: ‘Mindful Practice’

Coloured pencil and ink on paper

Monastic life intrigues me, and not too long ago, I was interested in the lifestyle of Buddhist monks, most notably Shaolin monks. I liked (and still like) to daydream myself as one, donning the uniform, embracing the discipline and the mindfulness, performing meditation… and show off my numerous kungfu moves.
