Weekend fun!

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 ...

Last page

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.

One more Sketchbook Project page!

For IF - "Your imagination is your preview of life's coming attractions." Albert Einstein

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 ... since I always have a hard time keep the camera stable.

Weekend outings ...

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

As for this illo ... I was not happy that many people think I was mean to Alina in her previous posting!! She is so totally exaggerated the FACT!! The thing is how can you not defend for your well being, when your friend always try to EAT YOU!!! Granted I have unlimited refill!! That doesn't mean I like to get lick and attempted getting eaten!!
