Thank You, Dear.




I managed to create a Thank You card for my friend in London.  She sent me wonderful books for my son.   One of the books is the famous Goodnight Moon, and she told me that the pictures I shared online inspired her to ship those books for my son.  I used to make cards, photo albums, and funny little art objects for my friends.  It was my motivations and inspirations to make something.  I guess that is the biggest and strongest force for my creations.  It is fun and happy.  Thank you, my friend, for wonderful gifts and inspirations.

Inspiring start of 2014


My new year starts with many inspirations and new thoughts.   One of my new year resolutions is making more actions than spending time planning, thinking, and worrying. Oh, and whining and complaining in my head.

First thing first, I have been focusing on assisting my son who's in the first stage of figuring out about himself and the world.  So called Terrible Two:-) I used to be able to make some time for working out, drawing, or working on the computer.  I don't have that time anymore unless I wake up really early.  Now he demands me to take him to bed every night, so my precious night hours have been significantly reduced.  I fought about this issue so hard, but I decided to just focus on one thing at a time and set my priority on enjoying time with my son as much as possible.  I realized that this is the final year that I can spend all day long with my son.  So much to teach and give. 

Once I set my focus though, I have been feeling much inspired and creative.  I have so much new ideas for drawings now, and I enjoy planning on it whenever and wherever I can.  That lead me to finally start experimenting with gouache.  I love watercolor, but I enjoy the feel gouache creates as well.  Also about this blog, I would like to write more about myself instead of just presenting my works.  It would be a very slow process for awhile, but I think the important thing is making an action.  In a way, it is time for me to come out of the closet.  Show me, reveal me, and see how it goes.
