LONG TAIL BOAT - pen and watercolour on paper, 15x20cm, 2011


I attended the wedding of my friend in Kho-phi-phi in Thailand. That was in March 2004. Local fishermen's boat is a long thin wooden boat called Long Tail boat. The long tail is the propeller shaft sticking out of the stern of the boat, I sketched one anchored to the sand. It has a cute "scarf" around its bow head. 8 months later in December, the very spot I was sketching from and the entire west Thailand coast was totally devastated by the Tsunami.
