李子話畫 Comma Sprout

Merry Christmas & Happy 2011!

This drawing was done few years ago. Somehow, I still feel what I felt each time when I look at it. Free will sometimes is a luxury for most people. The scariest thing is that after being suppressed for a period of time, we end up like caged birds, lost the faith of free will...

在充滿挑戰與變化的新時代裡，你/妳已經厭倦了自己一成不變的表現嗎？
覺得自己都不了解自己？
上網寫部落格都嫌麻煩？
朋友聽你說話都想打哈欠？

雖然沒看過最近風靡的貓戰士系列的書，但它的書名，約在一個月前面啓發我畫這張作品。這兩天花了不少時間處理介於Painter和Photoshop間的色彩管理，終於處理好了，真高興！

This work was finished about a month ago. I was inspired by the name of recent famous novel series - Warriors. I spent some time to fix the color management between Photoshop and Painter. I'm glad it was fixed finally.

這是我去年給小朋友的萬聖節面具樣本，今年沒有排這課程。希望你們喜歡這件'舊'作品！

This mask was an sample work for kid to do their own Halloween mask last year. Well, I do not arrange this lesson this year. So, I hope you like this 'old' work!

另一幅金魚習作，這次使用的是彩色筆。等會兒把這篇圖文上傳後，要去朋友的花園載些植物回來，期待！

Another exercise of gold fish. This time I chose colour pens to do it. After uploading this post, I'm going to drive some plants back from a friend's garden. I'm excited about it.

這張圖是上課時做給孩子看的範本,但孩子們做的是長頸鹿跟這題目沒相干,做完後拍張照再用計算機編修過就成了這幅圖,拼貼還真是件好玩的事!

This gold fish collage work was a sample for kids, though their topic wasn't gold fish but giraffe. I took a photo of it and edited it in Photoshop and Painter.  It was fun to do it!

Tomorrow will be this year's mid-autumn festival (Chinese calendar date: the 15th day of every years' eighth month). For many people, their family members or close friends will gather together at this special night. Therefore, foods and drinks are the must! Happy mid-autumn festival whether you are meeting your families or friends.

We often make a movement to get away of the unsatisfied current situation, but often, we start feeling being trapped again after novelties become familiar. It is funny the meaning of situation is given by people. People took things differently, the worst happenings for some can be turning points for some others. Are we stepping into another trap or just out of current one for good?

It's not necessary to explain ourselves to others. However, life isn't easy for most of us when there are too much noise of being misunderstood. We are often forced to give up our principles so that we can go through those difficult time in our lives.

Some people love themselves too much...
They sometimes make others sick.

Here are another rapper owl pen cap and birdies Magnet! They were done few weeks ago

Light clay classes were funny for kids and me. I had peaceful and quiet time while they were doing it! Therefore, I made few more Gecko Magnets with different themes. One went dizzy, and the other one went dead (X).

This one is my second clay gecko. It's fluorescent. I used pink, orange, green and white acrylic paints to embellish it. I may add a magnet at its belly later.
