Quack!

I love doing more sketches of my characters Babu and his kitten Abu. Next time, I should do more comic strips, just like Little Nemo in Slumberland by Winsor McCay, who is one of my favorite artists. Maybe I could entitle "Babu and his kitten Abu in Dreamland". What do you think?

Patience

I made another personal pencil drawing for my art diary. The size is 6.3" x 6.3". The symbol of those old pine trees describes many past true blessings (my art awards, commissions, gifts, family, friends, good grades, etc.) which I have received.

However, I am waiting patiently for the new little plant, which means my future lovelife. I wonder if this little plant could live or die? blessing or curse? approval or disapproval? good luck or bad luck? I really don't know. I am single for 10 months and I really hope I will not be hopeless for my future lovelife. I wait patiently for a new blessing or curse in unexpected way... Patience. Persistence. Perseverance.


I dedicate this illustration to my beloved long ex-boyfriend Earljohn.
Thank you very much for everything. Know that you were biggest part of my life. Urayin ka, Earl.

And my old dirty messy palette. A lot of acrylics and watercolors. Hee hee! Next time, I'll show you guys my brushes, paints and other stuffs. See you on October! God bless you all!


UPDATED: Good news, my friend Blackmago made an illustration of my characters Babu and his kitten Abu for me! Take a look! Isn't it adorable, it is? I love it! Please visit his wonderful gallery!

Cucurtobitphobia

I would like to share the details of my old personal digital work, Cucurtobitphobia (fear of pumpkins) with you guys. I scanned my unfinished sketch and then used Adobe Photoshop 7. I don't remember how long I finished this digital work. No need to tell you more, just take a look at the big photo collage below so you can see the details. Please click this to full view.


At present, I don't do digital artworks too much because the battery of my tablet pen was empty. Boo hoo hoo... Well, I need to find a new battery or I wish I could buy a Wacom tablet.


Another my work in progress, weee.... it was so fun and enjoyable. I can't wait to finish my five wooden paintings. I think I enable comments just right now. God bless you all!

Weeee....


Well, it's not a real tattoo. I was making an ink Babu drawing on my skin when I felt bored. Hehehehe! Anyway, I'll work on my new commission (2 pieces) and my small wooden paintings (4 or 5 pieces) for the next art show in "Small Stuff" at South Florida gallery, Bear and Bird. I'm very interested and excited with this US art show because this is my first time. Yiipppeee!!!

Good news, my French wonderful friend Anne-Julie
launched her new website! My great friend Gisele worked with Anne-Julie for her website. Go visit! It's beautifully gorgeous, I love it!

Okay, that's all folks. Goodnight and God bless you all!

Search

Please click to full view this photo collage below. Hmmm, it reminds me of my childhood memories where I loved to seek and find beautiful shells in the dark corals for my collection. Yes, I was a very dark tanned young girl before, just like a pure black charcoal... hehehe, just kidding.


Like I asked God, "Papa, when will you put your mysterious beautiful shells ( blessings ) in the corals for me? Don't worry, Papa... I can find them persistently in unexpected way when I seek you FIRST faithfully. It's up to You what blessings You want for me. It's your Will. I'm looking for hope."


Thank you for the big encouragement, love, hug and support. It's time to disable comments here forever, hope you guys understand me. But I greatly thank to all of you who visits my blog here. Don't worry about me, I'll ask God to polish my mind completely (hehe, I could imagine that God could use Kiwi shoe polish to cleanse me... sweet....) About my future job in Florida.... ah well....Yeeaaah!!! Alright, I'll go for it. Go go go. I hope I can do it through Him who strengthens me. Uha-uha ha ha uha ha.... (*Rambo and Congo dance together.*)

Oh man, I am very sick and weak today. Oh man, I am flooded with emails again. God bless you all. Ciao, guys.
