(Ben Ji Mine, in Chinese!)














What's this Benny, some kind of blog-update?

Yes, that's right. Here's a bunch of drawings from my moleskine sketchbook documenting my adventures. There are one or two colour water-colour (tortological statement) drawings in there but the only scanner I could find was a lousy black and white one. These are the breaks.

Oh well. Say, have you seen the...

...Abram's Star Trek movie? Yes! Twice! There'll be more Trek related goodness on this blog in the future I can promise you that so stay tuned. With my handy ClustrMap gadget I can actually tell whose watching this blog and where from! That said I would like to shout out a hearty:

GREETING TO ALL VISITORS TO THIS BLOG FROM ABROAD!

Your little red dot on the map means a lot to me! Especially that big red dot on what I think is Alice Springs! No idea who you guys/guy/girl/girls are but I warmly receive you my rural brother and sisters unto my digital breast. Also, the current Benjamin Drake International Viewer Award goes to the United States of America which is currently ahead with 28 hits, followed by Japan with 10 and Canada with 6. The United Kingdom and the Russian Federation are neck and neck for fourth place. Australia maintains a strong lead by unfair advantage.

Love the drawings Ben! Can kinda see how u were feeling with each one. Esp like the comments u writ with them.

Also, I went and saw Star Trek the other night. I agree - Loved it! As a result I've been going back to watch the old ones I missed out on.
