Armadillo!

Armadillo in a partyhat! I love animals, yes I do! All the odd ones are the ones with the most visual treats and interesting personalities! I'm exploding with joy!

my insomniac song

I love coffee, I love cups

I'm an insomniac coffee, cup, music, dogs, beetles lover.

Yo! Where's my Dung?!

I dig, I dig 

I dig, dig, dig

I roll, I roll

I roll, roll, roll

I rub, I rub

I rub, rub, rub

my dung, my dung

my dung, dung, dung

Listen

Listen

Listen to the trees, listen to the flowers

listen to the wind, listen to the stars too

Listen to the things your eyes won't tell you

love,

Ouroboros Ophis

Ouroboros Ophis

At the end is where I begin

Singing a song of Recreation and Death

The flowers may wither under the veiled moon

But at dawn another budding shall bloom

Love,

Manifested Troubles

After a long day of drawing, I finally feel a lot better.

I also found a new way of illustrating. I guess lately 

I've been feeling that most of my end products look

more sketches-like than final outcome. But this, this

is indeed looking different, like I've finally wrapped 

it up! Woohoo! Happy alas!

Love,

Shawn's Big Fish

So the storyline finally arrived. I'm actually pretty thankful, 

it was an adorable story. Shawn's Big Fish, the story revolves

around a polar bear name Shawn. One morning, Shawn's mother

and his two brothers went to the pond to learn fishing. But

the entire trip didn't really do any good for Shawn. His brothers

caught fishes but not Shawn. He got teased, he was upset, he was 

sad and Mama Polar Bear tried to console him. He woke up the

next morning determined to catch himself a fish. So he practiced

and practiced, day after day. Finally, he caught himself a fish.. 

A BIG FAT FISH! Happy, and excited, he brought the fish home

and he was praised for his determination, perseverance. 

A very common moral-of-the-story. 

Creating the characters, clothing them and making them come

back to life is the most fun part for me. At first, there was a lot 

of feedback from Amy (my client), that Shawn and his brothers

looks like Cats. I was highly discouraged and disheartened when

I heard that. Therefore, I learned that everyone sees things very

differently. The Polar Bears that I see is as unique as this. 

We eventually came to an agreement to use this Polar bear 

because after all I am the illustrator and I am supposed to design

the character myself, not be told how to. Everything turned out 

wonderful at the end, and Amy was really happy. So, all is well! 

I had a good fun out of this project! I'd definitely do this again

if given another chance~ Wooohoo!  

So glad, we had this opportunity to illustrate a storybook.

This is a really good experience to have. Thank you,

LASALLE! 

with love,

Growth

Looking back on my old drawings, it is very very strange. 

I know this person, the person I was when I drew them,

but now I can't really recognize this person anymore. 

Haha, so strange! 

And so I continue to grow, the way I project

changes, but the person I am became more

sensitive to what I see. I want to draw them 

all down. 

Digital painting with a mouse, I was over-challenging

myself. But lucky me, it turned out okay. 

Else my insomnia would come back and haunt 

me until I do this well! 

This cat is probably the tipping point of where I'm gonna 

go afterwards. I was criticized for my line qualities, and

the cat was my experiment and my own workshop. 

And insomnia really did haunt me. 

I'm a child waiting to grow. 

I need a guided mastery !

Sprinkles and dust powder wala magic!

The collection spray exercise. You get beautiful results out of it. 

I will try this again for sure, what an experience! xx
