Sketchbooks Re-stocked!
Recently started a new sketchbook after taking 6 good months of calligraphy practice/sketching/life-drawing/note-taking to fill up the old one. Really loved the size, volume, quality, and pricing of this economy notebook/sketchbook, I even made a custom pulp cover for it. The sketchbook must be very popular because they were all out of stock in almost all the […]

Date?
I wasn’t lying when I told my old UW fellowship b/s last night that I have a “target” from my church. Indeed, it just so happened that I invited her to go see an art exhibition with me this afternoon. If dating is simply defined as going out with someone you like and get to […]

Live Portraiture
Asked a friend to tag me along to do some life drawing tonight. It must have been like 10 years since I enrolled in a life drawing course for my cartooning certificate, I still remember how awe inspired I was seeing the instructor do gestural figure drawings with ink and brush and no drafts. Tonight’s […]

Since discovering the magic of the brush pen, I got hooked and took every possible opportunity to sketch and doodle while traveling on the MTR. My models are fellow subway riders who were immersed in their phones and had no idea they were being sketched. There were no shortage of volunteering models. This fun and free […]

Movies and Dreams
After the exhausting craft fair on the Sept. 10th weekend, I thought about going on a short vacation to re-energize myself before getting busy again for the new Fall “co-op term”, but abandoned the idea as I don’t know how to justify the cost of going alone and without a purpose. Did a brief stay-cation […]

Brush Pen
Recently I started doing quick sketches using my calligraphy brush pen, and the results amazed myself! To my surprise, the months of training in Chinese calligraphy seems to have improved my life drawing skills as well, I can now sketch much freer and quicker and with better results! One of my recent endeavour is sketching […]

Starving for Art
I felt a sudden urge to do art recently. I think it all started on the Sunday morning when I arrived early at JCCAC before the craft fair. I arrived there after Sunday service, with a couple of idle hours before the start of fair, I slowly strolled around the quiet building. Passed by many […]
