First page of my Big Sketchbook project with Art House Co-Op! The theme Dirigibles and Submersibles.

Been a bit crazy lately ... kind of a bit slow in up-dating posting here. Below are more paintings from last weekends.

I join Bill Perkins' painting workshop this Sunday. It's a lot of fun!! This is the first time, I learn how to use grey markers to plan a painting. It's so HARD!!! I haven't used a marker for drawings since elementary school. I always see people use grey markers to block out a paintings ... it looks easy ... but actually doing it, it's very challenging.

I don't think I do a very good job with the markers ... in a way, I think I get confused ...

Time for a new new avatar!! Err ... just got a new hair cut ... I try a new hair salon this time, cause I saw a place on yelp has a special 20% off deal and has great review!! AWWwww ... I don't like the cut very much. It's not horrible ... but ... I like my usual hair dresser much more. She always do a great job making a simple hair cut look super cute and trendy. This new place ... to be fair, the girl has good technique, but artistically she isn't as creative. I look dorky!! Oooh well ...

After I put in all the drawings, I decorate the cover. The Art House Sketchbook Project is done and shipped!! Actually it safely arrived the the Brooklyn Art Library in New York today!! WOO HOOO!! Humm ... I have so much fun with this little project, I may sign up for their BIG sketchbook project next!! HE! HE!!

Top is the last bit of Vandal Heart storyboard.

I experiment with different color scheme, and finally decide to use a limited color palette for a slightly more abstract feel.

I would love to invite you all to my up-coming gallery art show.

I will have two piece of paintings in the show.

Top two sketches are character drawings for my friend's animated film - Opposites. Please come by and check it out.
