Creative Monday
Went for my painting class slightly early in the evening, finished my painting in 2 classes instead of 3! Went back to my studio to finish up my 3rd cartoon character design after class. The comic strip Calvin has Hobbes, so I figured Beverley needed a good companion too. I smiled myself looking at the […]

Creative Mondays?
Hardly did any work today. Got in the studio this morning thinking I’ll spend the day to design one last cartoon character before going over some website work. I was surprised that the 3D printer I ordered a few weeks ago got delivered. I’ve yet to finish the 2D products I’ve been designing for the […]

Sculpting the Living World
Was invited by my painting instructor to see an art exhibition showcasing works done by members of the HK Painting Society, enjoyed seeing a large variety of work done in different styles, at different levels (amateur and professional), and in different mediums (oil, acrylic, watercolor, chinese ink,…). Went to the nearby Museum of Art afterwards […]

Saturday Classes
My semester of Saturday classes have finally come to a close today! Since the start of the year, almost all my Saturdays had been occupied by classes (2 painting classes and 1 rubber stamping class), that’s from 4pm till 9:30pm! As much as I enjoy oil painting, doing 2 back-to-back classes on the weekend seemed […]

Badminton
It’s been months since I last played badminton, kinda miss it, almost forgot the joy of rallying the little birdie. My racquet seemed to be a little overjoyed too, its string finally broke. My ankles (first right then left) got hurt while playing soccer a few weeks ago, still not fully recovered. My injuries usually […]

Drawing the Human Figure
Re-learning how to draw the human figure… I bought the suggested book “The Figure” years ago when I took a life-drawing course, I enjoyed the course but I hardly read the book. Good thing I brought that book back to HK, I just started picking up the book again and find it very useful. If […]

Sat. without Painting Classes
There was no oil painting and rubber stamp classes today due to public holiday. I went back to the studio to indulge in a little ink & wash on my own. Enjoyed the occasional solitary time in front of the drawing board with my favorite music playing on the background. Had dinner with my UW […]

Sketching
Spent the last two afternoons sketching. It’s been a long time since I’ve spent such an elaborate amount of time sketching feverishly, apparently I can still do the art…

JCCAC Visit
There was a DIY fair at the JCCAC this weekend, it was a good opportunity for a social activity with a couple of my primary school buddies – one of them is interested in seeing architectural renewal projects and the other knows a friend who has a booth set up there. I didn’t go without […]

Lunch with Old Friend
Met up with a primary school classmate who recently moved back to HK to further his architectural career. Had a long and wonderful chat with him in wildly unrelated topics including environmental issues, government policies, architecture, design, painting, photography, career, family, friends,… I’m really thankful to have such a friend whom I can enjoy an […]
