My new work 2009

These are my new work. My source of inspiration is imagining myself escaping into the woods and running away from the things that are made from men.

Its been a while since i've updated my blog. And here's something i would like to share.

Kokeshi Subtext

I was invited to be part of a Kokeshi show for Subtext gallery San Diego and finally my doll is done.. but I can only show you a sneak peak of it at the moment

More photos will be uploaded as soon as the show starts in November.

Kokeshi Dolls

My penciled drawn Kokeshi dolls visiting Tokyo.



My random sketch that i did for today. And thought it would be fun to put a picture behind it that found in Veer.

Shift Calendar 08'

Shift calendar competition 08'. The idea - Every flower is fragile, It is one of the main source of inspiration. Flowers change their color when they grow, live or even die. Some flowers grow in winter and some rare ones can survive the heat. So aren't we lucky to be surrounded by flowers everyday throughout the year.





Every year we celebrate all different kinds of festival all around the world. Most festival celebrated are colorful and full of different kinds of excitement. This is part of our every day life. Its up to us to paint it colorful and make it exciting.

Kokeshi Doll

I've been invited to participate in the Kokeshi Show by subtext. Yay! I'm going to be drawing on one of these blank Kokeshi dolls. Its for a celebration of Bunka-no-hi (a Japanese national holiday promoting culture, the arts, and academic endeavor).

Hippo

each time when i have something going on my mind but when i draw it out it always turns out different.

Another day during lunch break

I came across these beautiful sakuras nearby my house when i was taking out my trash. Was luckly that i took a photo of it because by the time i got home during the evening the wind was so strong that it blew most of it away.

New Zealand Tattoo Supply

Something i've design for a catalogue cover for NEW ZEALAND TATTOO SUPPLY. I scanned in the illustration and played around with the layout. Still in progress of touching up a few things.



This is a divider for the New Zealand Tattoo Supply Catalogue. This is my fav one.

"Nian"

My version of illustrated character called "Nian". Unfortunately its just the head.
This is a new step to another modern Chinese old folk tale.Its still in progress because i got a lil' rusty since i last illustrated it.I'll be heading towards combining my name "Ming & Nian". You will see more of it soon.

Cows

Another thing that i've done during the past time while waiting for a job. And i have even decided to frame them. And it is quite costly for frames here in NZ $$.
Why anatomy of cows? hmmm... New Zealand is filled with cows and sheep i call it the moo..baa.. land *wink. I love NZ!!

Goldies

Guessing? They are my still life gold fishes painted on watercolor paper with india ink. One of my favorites.
