1/2 Work From Home (Week 2)

Continued my alternate days of working from home this week. Continued indulging in ink art while at home. One of the books on ink art I borrowed from the library earlier turned out to be really good and got me interested in pen and ink art again. Work wise, I got excited when contacted for […]

Creative Monday

Originally planned to do some volunteering in the afternoon, but the fai chun making session with the elderly was cancelled due to cold weather. With the freed up time slot, I took a stroll through the Old Master Q exhibition at the mall near my studio.  Saw some of the hand drawn comics by the […]

2nd Half-Marathon Completed!

Completed my 2nd half-marathon with an improvement of ~15 mins (unofficially) compared to last year!  Thankful.  Building upon experience from last year, this year’s run seemed more pleasurable and less exhaustive, it felt like I can run an extra 1 or 2k after passing the finish line!  Perhaps I can attempt to run a full marathon […]

100th Poke-a-mon(itor) Caught!

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 […]

Time

Time, a concept that warrants timeless debates/discussions/contemplations. I’m still not quite completely recovered from my emotional low, the constant depressing news (both locally and globally) seems to have lengthened the recovery process.  Rather than pushing myself to recover from the blues with mindless and endless work, I decided to take it slow and use all […]

Creative Monday

I’ve filled this Creative Monday with Art.  It started with some cartooning in the afternoon, followed by oil painting and watercolor classes at night.  Never had I turned on my laptop for the entire day! Sometimes I question why I persist in doing art.  For one thing, it’s simply something I enjoy doing.  For another, […]

89.64

Got absorbed into the time capsule, I’ve spent the whole afternoon going through the FB posts relating to the tragedy that happened this day 26 years ago in Beijing. When the massacre took place, I was naive and staying in a peaceful country far away from the frontline.  Thankful that the internet in HK is […]

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 […]

PMQ Visit

Had lunch with a couple of old friends in Central before visiting the recently opened PMQ – a historical “Police Marital Quarter” renovated into a hub where artists and designers can rent and setup their studios.  My friend brought up the idea that I should try renting one of the spaces for my own studio.  […]
