Weekend!!!!!!!!Christmas!!!!!!!!Bling!!!!!!

another from way back---my high school crush,

with writing too...
"the sweetest thing" by U2...
nuts

the dark ages

Stuff from way back-- first year at ECIAD, that's 8 years ago!
pretty depressed back then i guess
but so much better in a way...

In

Finally a weekend at home

Mr. K

i really don't think i can draw anymore,
this took me like four hours
and it doesn't even look like him. pardon me
who is Mr. Richard Kelton, a wonderful wonderful man that i was ever so fortunate to have met because of the Gauguin Exhibition*.
founder of the Kelton foundation in Santa Monica, has got me to look into art again.
to pick up passion for history, culture and life in general again.



I wish you well!


*don't know about the Gauguin Exhibition ?
you should go. because it's quite good

sketcher's block

why is it that i cannot put anything down on paper?

my eternal sunshine

what else is there to draw?

Alev Ebuzziya Siesbye

Catrin Howell

everyone should go

澎湖- 海風炊烤

w's buddies at the beachside barbecue.
i think the stray cats there rule the island.

澎湖- 望安古厝

back! such a lovely trip. just not being around crowds and traffic was fantastic. the people were dark and luminous, the ocean was just sand and salt, the houses were made of corals and shingles...everything was in its own place.

lovely Pauline

follow up on the JPG show, i wrote to Pauline asking if she could send me an image of the big underwear concept sketch i love ( i was going to sneak a photo of it but didn't dare with the virtue police beside me), and she did! she replied, with oh so awesome this:



anyway, go see the show, the sketch is even more amazing in person

JPG at 北美館

another crazy show with jean paul gaultier fashion at 北美館. i like the overall feeling of the room and the sketches oh my god by pauline binoux is lovely.
i do recommend, but not to everyone as it is a "weird" show"

meet the innovator yes!

attended a seminar/presentation with Frog Design's Hartmut Esslinger and 3 other (local)big shots, the presentation was great (i love color blocks and lots of pictures), but i feel bad for the other people who had to sit through the mediocre translation. 詹偉雄 goes on about steve jobs the god, and how we should all live beautiful lives by using beautiful products (as prescribed by his elitist columns). 禧冠 was witty and more pragmatic which i appreciated. it seems like all the discussions about design in taiwan is how awful cost-down solutions are and how the taiwanese design world will be so much better if we just let that go, break open our checkbooks and really deliver perfection without compromise. but i mean, it's never going to happen here, it's just not us, because we want cheap and fast money so we make cheap and awkward products. i donno, i'm very cynical.

bike maze

finally got to do the maze project i've been thinking about for so long. although there are still some finishing touches that needs to be added, it came out pretty cool, i'm proud.
hit the link for the process:

in your eyes-random guy

my official day of resignation,

sad but true.

just thankful for everything everyone did for me

as che said, everything will be okay

now maybe with a bit of color...

i know... i cheated with photoshop

in your eyes-E

at the softball game

in your eyes-CC

i think a series of these would be nice,
get me up and running again

apron bag

saw a woman on the metro today carrying a tall bag with an L shaped zipper down the side and bottom, with a plant peeping out from the top. after observing for a bit i realized it's made out of an apron! the proportion and color in my drawing is all out of wack but the actual black and white checkered pattern is so cute! and the longness of it is just so awesome that i almost think the woman bought the tall plant just to show off her bag. (adding it to my eventually to do list)

my thoughts today...
Radiohead
Body Snatchers

I do not understand
What it is
I've done wrong
Full of holes
Check for pulse
Blink your eyes
One for yes
Two for no
I have no idea what I am talking about
I am trapped in this body and can't get out
Make a sound
Move back home
A pale imitation
With the edges sawn off
I have no idea what you are talking about
Your mouth moves everywhere
Has the light gone out for you?
Cause the light's gone out for me
It is the 21st century
It is the 21st century
You can fight it like a dog
It brought me to my knees
They got scared and they put me in
They got scared and they put me in
All their eyes wrapped around my face
All their eyes wrapped around my face
Although everybody else can see
Although everybody else can see
I'm alive
I've seen it coming

synthetic happiness

2010自行車展
it's like my bike all grown up
WANT!

but all the consumeristic excitement today reminds me of Dan Gilbert on synthetic happiness, i guess in the end we don't really become happier getting what we want, it's all in our heads.

i cannot express my gratitude enough knowing the weekend has finally arrived, and is going to be sunny as hell
to the bike show and maybe swimming tonight!
sketch from my last bike ride: i drew the guy in the distance last and got kinda lazy, guess that's why the others are looking at him weird.(also my locations are starting to repeat...)

zoom zoom

so i did go out, but didn't see much except rude people riding their bikes really fast. machines are much cooler.

long time no sew

oh my god
definitely have to go out for a bike ride later
or i shall explode

2010

gosh i'm so mainstream...
really didn't plan on going but went anyway
love the sound of the fireworks the most, like ripping fabric
fantastic
