Holiday
Spent the day at the studio, started designing some “souvenirs” for my fellowship’s upcoming hiking initiative. There was no painting class tonight due to holiday, I got a little bored… “Earth without art is Eh …” Monday night without painting class is … …

Creative Monday
Last week I was a little busy clearing up a couple of web projects that was carried over from 2014. Without any urgent work to do this week, I decided to continue my Creative Monday tradition to do something spontaneous outside of my regular work routine… I ended up spending the whole afternoon planting succulents […]

Creative Monday
Before engaging full-time work after my recovery, I gave myself one last day-off to do some spontaneous creative works. I upcycled all the medical pill bottles from my illness and turned them into incubators for new life (baby succulents). I codenamed this quick spontaneous project “REBIRTH”. As the saying goes – “What doesn’t kill you […]

Day Off
Took a day off because I signed up to attend some seminars at my Alma Mater. The seminars starts at 11am, so I figured today would be a nice day to start a new routine of getting up early. Woke up at around 6:30am, had a light breakfast while reading the news, then I went […]

Creative Monday
I wish to informally “launch” a potentially long-term endeavor “723 Studio” on Wednesday (July 23rd). With only 2 days and still many scheduled work unfinished, I can only do some “門面功夫”. =) Will try to finish painting the entrance door by Wednesday! Finished the last piece of work of the 3-month painting course at night, […]

Tax & Creative Monday
As the saying goes, rain and tax are two things you just can’t avoid in life. Arrived at the studio slightly early this morning to file my annual tax, my very first time in HK. Had been procrastinating for weeks, felt relieved now that I finally got it over with. I’m now ready for a […]

Creative Monday
Thankful for a no-work Creative Monday. Watched the 3am France vs Honduras game, slept in, it was near lunch time by the time I got back to the studio. Did some 3D printing experimentation in the afternoon before going to my evening painting class. It felt good to be painting again after 2 weeks absence. […]

Creative Monday
Will probably get busy with I.T. work starting tomorrow, so I wasn’t going to let my Creative Monday easily slip away. I did some cartooning in the afternoon before my evening painting class. I was very focused during class because I wanted to finish off the second painting of the term. This is the first […]
