Dead, totally dead

My laptop is dying now!!
We have tried and pried.
We don't expect it will come back to us again, so please excuse my absence for a while.

How sad! I LOST 2 years’ photos and work!!( i only managed to save part of them)

Luckily, my blog and flickr still got some traces of past ..........

Materials & Applications

We drove by this place last christmas. I always want to check out this cool outdoor exhibition space in silver lake. Finally we made it!! The installation was already falling apart when we were there, but I still like the whole idea of the installtion and the exhibition space. It looks like somebody did a cool and creative art work in their front yard, it's open 24 hours. It looks very nice at night !!

Check here for more past exhibitions.

.. ... .. ..

Also a very cool blog about these "bubbles" . It tells you the whole process.

Photos above are taken by CL, my partner and dear dear husband. He also did this painting and this one.
I was just totally stunned by the scene and couldn't take any pictures.

This weekend!!

I would love to see this show in person, if I have a budget to make another trip to north.....
check here!! for more fun art works from William Hundley.

pretty much i dig this two new blogs all the time!!

It's nice that

many stuff

Brutus Casa is one of my favorite Japanese magazine.
They got a very informative website,..
Here are some back issues I want to buy.....
..everything you want to know about ceramics
..fashion, architecture, design and food!





I like this floor guide's cover from OMOTESANDO HILLS.
Don't know who did the illustration!!

I heard some of "not very nice" comments about Omotesando Hills but I like its very low key luxury............








When I was in Japan I came across this new line"ME" from Issey Miyake.
I love it!!
Every single piece has interesting and intriguing details. Too bad that I don't have good photos of them, they are all too small to see.
Thanks to their website, there are some very nice pieces you can find in the website. But, I guess it's very different to see them in person......

wAVES........

finally I have my own print of ocean waves, yayyyyyyyyyyy!!
and I know I will draw more....

Here is a fun waves painting from Deth P. Sun.
He does his painting on wood, I will love to see his work in person.
Too bad that I missed his show at Giant Robot where is my favorite place to go for the fun stuff.

Have been working one some new prints lately!
Be back soon!

all the images are from Maharam

Claudy Jongstra

These pieces are corporation between Cludy Jonstra and Maharam. They are so nice!!

I remembered one of famous Taiwanese director said, "All I want is to follow/catch the rule of nature/自然法則, but it's so hard to keep it up....". When I see the pieces created by Cludy Jonstra, I tell myself, maybe these are very closed to the rule of nature/自然法則.........

Fei/飛

Two-color Gocco screen print on 4x6 inches arches 88 fine printmaking paper.
40 copies are available.
Will be available at Art Bazaar on June 2nd and 3rd, or email me if you are interested!

Fei means "fly" in chinese.

I found these leaves in my backyard. They have very nice golden color with ineresting form which almost looks like feather to me. The combination of cherry blossom and chocolate color is for celebration of spring.

San Shui/山水 no.01_3-stone rule

Two-color Gocco screen print on 4x6 inches arches 88 fine printmaking paper.
34 copies are available.
Will be available at Art Bazaar on June 2nd and 3rd and Esty.

San and Shui literally mean mountains and water/rivers in Chinese.

This early spring I was in this famous dry garden in Kyoto. My dear friend Hiro and his gal tried to explain to me the layout of stones. They are always 3 stones in a group and creating a perfect triangle. It meant to be creates various views when you are standing in different locations. It has such calm and quiet quality. ....

Art Bazaar

I am going to this Art Bazaar which organized by Art start on June 2nd and 3rd. That means I have less than 3 weeks to produce all the prints. From now on, all the postings will focus on my work.

Have to go back to work now! *_*

Dear friends, good weekend!
