Just to show you a couple of purchases I made recently. <3 New pens to go with the two new notebooks; brown paper for sketching and white dotted paper for general/work purposes. MUJI

Mini English alphabet stamps from Made With Love @ $2.50

Coloured stamp pads from Made With Love (the colour of the “Pinecone” is off due to reflection on the casing.. it’s closer to black/brown) / Mini Japanese hiragana character stamps from Kinokuniya / Bird in cage stamp from Japan

Xyron create-a-sticker machine from Spotlight @ $12.50 (half-price). You have no idea how amazing this product is, so let me just show you here.. It measures 9.5cm x 10.5cm and creates stickers up to 4cm wide. Grace successfully tempted me into buying this XD Check out what I made with her pink sticker maker: *flaps*.

First you place the bits of materials – be it printed photos, punched shapes, drawings etc – into the slot.

Then as you pull the tape from the bottom, you’ll find the materials encased in between. At this point of time G and I thought we had slotted the stuff in the wrong way because the usual ones would come out “laminated” with clear plastic over and we would have to cut it into the desired shape.

Now you peel off the adhesive layer – p-peel you say? Tada! And there you are, original stickers!

GO FIGURE! I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT WORKS STILL PLEASE TELL ME.

A couple of selected sketches out of the whole lot that I did while cracking up at the video. Sketched in black ink on paper, coloured in Photoshop – I had to force myself to stay away from the Smooth Round brushes :< Colour scheme was referenced from arnistotle @ DA. Comments are greatly appreciated! <3

( So, what about the Yama Hentai Bar? )

Rummaging through wads of old artwork (I’d like to imagine them as tangible ones on paper, rather than digital) in my harddisk, a painting stood out and it occurred to me that I never finished what I intended to. Acrylic on canvas. The carefully painted image of Leslie as Ho Po-wing still comes on strong; incomplete, yet I’m satisfied with it in another way. And then there’s the blog entry written in 2006; I’m 4 years late.

I can’t see me lovin’ nobody but you
For all my life
When you’re with me, baby the skies’ll be blue
For all my life

So happy together.
