I read that there are only two underwater Calderas on Earth. The one in China is under uninhabitable area, and the one in Greece lies below one of the biggest tourist attractions in the world, Santorini. Underneath this boat on the bottom of that sea is a deep crater that stretches many miles wide that […]
View post →Here is another drawing from Amoudi Bay. I’ll be posting the drawings from that day chronologically. This is the second one I did on that beautiful morning.
View post →One morning, Greg and I started out very early and went to draw in Amoudi Bay. The tourists had not arrived yet, and the fisherman were getting their skiffs ready for the day. Or maybe they were coming back from night fishing? It was a lovely morning for drawing. The rest of the day however […]
View post →Every year on this day we all remember. After watching the ceremonies on TV, and hurting for all those whose lives were changed on that day, I always go back to thinking of one thing. Terrorism. I think about what it means, who it is, why it is and most of all how? How can […]
View post →So, obviously, fellow One-Drawing-a-Dayer Greg and I went on the same trip. He posted a drawing from Santorini yesterday, and I’ll be island hopping to Crete today. Here is a drawing I made of the church in my mother’s home town of Kalives. These type of churches are such a lovely mix of cultures. Crete […]
View post →I think I’ll take a break from posting holiday facts on onedrawingaday. I will continue the project on my own blog, so come on over to check out what’s going on in the world on any given day. So for the next few weeks, I’d like to share some drawings I made this summer during […]

So, if you’re thinking of doing something special and getting worldwide recognition for it, today is a great day to do it. It’s totally open for you! In place of the usual holiday-themed drawing, I’d like to share […]

So, as you’ve maybe noticed, most international holidays are just that, holy-days. Today in Spain, and many other countries, is the day to celebrate St. James. Again, I did some quick research and found some fascinating things. St. James was, among other things, a pilgrim. The symbol for pilgrims and people with no permanent home […]
View post →Obon (ãŠç›†?) or just Bon (盆?) is a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the departed (deceased) spirits of one’s ancestors. -Wikipedia The custom usually lasts for three days during the middle of July. Like the Mexicans and their Day of the Dead, the Japanese mark these days with dancing, singing and feasts. At the end, […]
View post →Back to my Earth Calendar. Today is a special day for the people of the Baha’i faith. The mission of the Baha’i is is to spiritually unify all the people and all religions of the world. Although painfully idealistic,that’s something I truly believe in myself! The temples of the Baha’i are really something. The most […]
View post →So, again, I look to my earth calendar and see that today, amongst many holidays observed around the globe by various countries, Somalia celebrates its indepedence. Somalia is in great contrast with the country I mentioned in my last post -Denmark. We don’t ever really get good news coming out of this country on the […]
View post →According to my “earth” calendar, today is Midsummer Party day in Denmark. Many northern European countries celebrate Midsummer by building bonfires and having lots of fun. It’s origins go waaay back. Recently, I read how Denmark has been deemed the happiest country in the world. I remember being very intrigued by this and wondered how […]
View post →A few years back, I had the opportunity to get up close and personal with a couple of (very large) horses. I mainly did a lot of shooting that day as their handler had them trotting, galloping and doing all kinds of things. But as I was looking through the photos recently, I found a […]
