sarong aynaku illustration travel

No much time to post this week: I’m rather busy with the Cuprarte Art Festival opening, next Saturday. So I have drawn myself wearing a sarong. Sarongs are large sheet of fabric, wrapped around the waist and worn as a skirt by men and women throughout much of southeast Asia, parts of Africa, and on many Pacific islands. The fabric is often brightly coloured and printed with intricate, geometric patterns. In hot climates there is nothing better than wearing a sarong and I can’t give up the habit now and here, during a really warm Italian summertime. The members of a lovely African family living in the house opposite mine, watch me benevontely from their windows, and smile a lot…

Here are three interesting links on last week’s topic: Flossy-p ; Pookha ; Asafaga .

this illo has a nice sense of depth that you created graphically. The sarong is definitely a new take on the topic… and I really enjoyed the story that went along with it…

I am totally passionate about sarongs and really like the pattern on the one you are wearing. I wish we could see more men wearing sarongs!

I’m with Trish. I’m a guy that wears sarongs, and believe me fellas, it’s not a “gay” thing or anything like that. The comfort and convenience is hard to beat especially here in Hawaii. The right colors and patterns can go with just about anything, and the sarong lends itself to being worn in a variety of ways. Try on sometime and you’ll agree, and gals like Trish and my wife, will certainly notice!
