& now, I have slightly better documented versions of the pieces I worked on last long weekend.

And for the curious, these were the colours used in the piece.

The instagrams which documented this magic. Much, much credit to the newly obtained copic white opaque paint. I’ve never worked with such a smooth yet opaque formula. Totally recommended. I bought mine off Amazon. (It ships prime if you have it!)

plus bonus shots of some art on my entrance walls.

tree paintings old gouache on paper pieces of mine.. circa 2010.
black & white prints purchased from fab.com, but I believe Melanie Greenwood’s prints are available on etsy.

big awesome tree painting of monrovia old town alley by my former painting master, Min Li. the curious can see and buy prints here.

It’s nice to finally have art up on the walls.. which aren’t just your own (or your mum’s).

Ah, the perks of having an income (finally).

Here are some things drawn recently, digital and analog.

Liking Illustrator after figuring out it is quite easy to adjust the pen to sense pressure sensitivy rather effectively much like Flash.

Here is some more nonsense in Illustrator.

The Illustrator canvas looks like this from a previous post.

Some analog drawing.

Looking to the past now:

Seeing these ink+nib sketches makes me want to upgrade above the play set I have.

In between all of this action, there have been plans to start a cross-country collab blog.
& of course, everything that comes with having a fulltime job - thanks Mr. President for the day off! It’s weird, have less energy to assemble these posts than I cared to during university, especially design posts. /thinking out loud

That’s all, for now.

There is only so much time to develop a true expertise, so choosing what to spend it on is vital. I’m writing this because for damn reason, putting things public makes me commit. So here we go: the focus is building a product. Focus on the skills which come with that. Meaning, painting, coloring, sewing, gaming, and so on so on are on the backburner.

I miss you smelly markers, but there is only so much time left.
