A Different Sunday
Parents went to Mainland for my cousin’s wedding banquet, so we didn’t have our usual family dim sum after church this week. Went to the studio to continue my chalkboard project after lunch. Was thinking about going for an evening run afterwards, but the sudden rain gave my lazy butt an excuse to rest. The […]

Creative Monday
Did a little work at the studio in the afternoon. I’m trying to transform one side of the wall into a chalkboard, now in the process of flattening it before adding a layer of paint and then another layer of transparent chalkboard paint. It’s a bit of an experimentation, hope it will look and function […]

Went to the studio to do a little planting this afternoon before heading to my oil painting class, was about 15 minutes late. Finished another painting, not too satisfied with this piece. Didn’t seem to have the mood to paint tonight for some reason, maybe it’s the subject of the painting, or maybe it’s just […]

Studio Renovation V
Day 5 – Set up my art supplies, planted a row of plants (mainly succulents brought from home), and started cleaning up. Hope to finish this little renovation project tomorrow. Before renovating my studio, I sat in on a public forum at my Alma Mater in the morning. It was about climate change from HK’s […]

Day 4 – Finished painting the wall, my biggest piece of artwork ever! Time flies when I’m working in the studio, was a little late arriving at fellowship tonight. Good thing I didn’t miss the programme. We welcomed a few guest speakers to talk about career, something I’ve been thinking a lot lately. I seem […]

Studio Renovation II
Continuing my studio renovation… Day 2 – Added some shelving and started painting the wall. Chose red as the background color because I wanted something sharp. Planning to attempt my first real graffiti work on top, already bought a couple of spray paints, but still not sure about the visuals…

Studio Renovation
Plan to give my studio a little renovation this week… Day 1 – Started assembling some IKEA furniture delivered this afternoon, it now has the large desk space I’ve always wanted! I plan to keep one side clean and organized while the other side can stay messy with whatever work I happen to be indulging […]

Got a free ticket to see an art exhibition today. It seems to be targeting at the very wealthy art collectors, and I find it amusing that many foreign galleries (Paris, London, New York, etc.) are here selling arts made by native Chinese artists, it seems as through they’re trying to make a fortune off […]
