The pleasure to make coffee



This is the national machine of Italy, which could be found in every Italian family with a full collection of different sizes. 

And the nation is really "addicted" to coffee and makes one of the best coffee in the world. 

Without coffee the day won't start; 
without coffee the meal won't end;
without coffee the stress won't pass; 
without coffee we won't be friends... 

Coming from another oriental tea culture, I am so fascinated by this coffee machine - the cutest smallest version and ready to discover more about coffee. Finally I owned one like this.

What should I say..it is really a pleasure and my day starts with a good coffee!

P.s: I also drew it to challenge my drawing skill, as it has so many surfaces with straight and curled lines and the metal gives special reflection of light. I am quite content with the result.

One hour by train from Palermo Sicilia,  Cefalù is a beautiful town on the sea. The town is built between the sea and the Rock, from where you could get beautiful views.

Monkey or Human?



Here is my key chain Monchhichi, which is a humanized "monkey" with hair covers all over its body. Do you see its tail hiding behind? See how cute its eyes and nose are!

Just by a flash of mind, I started to draw this monkey. Thought that this furry toy would be difficult to be present by pencils, but the result turned out to be good enough.

While drawing, there was a question wandering around my mind: how does one define himself as a human? 
-not hairy?
-civilized?
-have languages? (I do believe animals also have their only "languages", just we couldn't understand them)
...

Here I attach a video of "Ze Frank: Are you human?"  for those who have doubts.
