Ice-Cream Monster Toon Cafe

Been a busy but fun weekend!! Went to the Disney Family Museum and watch Summer War on Saturday. The museum visit is inspiring. And today, I have a great time at my friend's B-day party. Oh!! My Sketchbook Coop Project is sent out to NY yesterday as well ... add a little crane origami before packing it in the priority mail box!!

Now that the sketchbook project is done, it's time to get back to the gallery paintings ...

These two pages concluded my 2010 Art House Co-op Sketchbook Project. If you are interested to see all the pages of this sketchbook, it's available on-line at my Art House Co-op site, and my web-site - Ice-Cream Monster Galleria.

This has been a super fun project. After I shipped it to New York, next time when I come across this sketchbook, it will be traveling back to San Francisco on the national exhibition tour.

My ArtHouse Coop Sketchbook project is very close to done!! Only one more page to go!! The sketchbook is getting very very FAT - it's 1.2 inch thick, when I squash it!

Only 2 more pages, the ArtHouse Project would be done!!

Top is another page for the Sketchbook Project; Below are sketches from the California Academy of Science. I just get a Joby tripod for my little old photo camera ... so make a little video to test both the tripod and the video function in my little point and shot. LOL I have the camera for a long while now ... but never quite try out the video function ...

We went to De Yound Museum to visit the Early Impressionism exhibition and picnic with friends over the weekend ...

As for this illo ...

For IF, Minty count as a dessert right?! Afterall ... he is an ice-cream cone!! HA! HA!!

Below are photos from the opening reception of my solo exhibition at Art Institute Inland Empire. The reception was a lot of fun. I have a wonderful time meeting the students, faculties and congressman, Joe Baca's representative. Thank you Santosh and Ron for inviting me to exhibit at their school.

These sketches are inspired by scenery along 101 FWY ... have to say ... I like the chunk of 101 up north then that the chunk connect with 405 FWY. Though can't help to miss my mischievous gang of friends in LA still ... especially whenever I saw something fun or tasty.

Oooh ... two of my new pals take me to the Berkeley Kite Festival couple of weeks ago ...
