This is my workstation. HE ! HE!! I "borrow" the Tax Dept. sign from some door to decoration my desk space!! HE!! HE!! Try to trick people to pay me Tax, whenever they walk pass my space, but soo far haven't had any luck fooling those smart bunnies at work. Humm ... not even during tax season ...

Went to Palm Springs with few friends over the weekends, it was a bit rainny and cloudy that day. But the landscape is lovely, we went to the dessert one day, and snowy mountain the next day. It's a fun trip!! Work starts rolling into crunch mode, this trip really helps to "stock up" energy for the up-coming intense production schedule!! WOO !! HOOO!!

Right in the middle of applying watercolor, rain starts to fall ...

Being my friends, they have to put up with being victims in my sketchbook!! HE ! HE!! Please don't feel bad for them though, they do evil deeds on me all the time!! We are even in the sense of our EVILNESS!! The top piece is drawn during work break. We have this little speed drawing contest. The goal is to draw each other as fast as we can, and then exchange drawings, see whether we can figure out, who's who in the drawings.
