Thank you Nickelodeon + Krew of Korra

Last Friday was the end of my Internship at Nickelodeon.. bittersweet end. The Krew at Korra has been nothing but fabulous. I worked on a thank you card for the Krew with my fellow intern,Tiffany Chiu who started with the sketch and I finished it up with paint in PS.

ChalkDay Representing Nickelodeon

One of the first few events I participated at Nickelodeon as an Intern was Chalk Day at George Washington School. I had so much fun and wished we didn't have to go back to the studio. Today, I got forwarded a bunch of letters from the kids, thanking all at Nick who came by and drew on their courtyard during recess.

Couple of the letters mentioned the Girr I drew... but this one especially made my day :)

Oh, I failed to mentioned, Girr and the Pig was my doing :p

Thank you, Maliya, Joelle and all you kids at Washington School! I hope you will get to read this post :)

My 100th Post! What i saw in Cuba, Summer 2012

It's my 100th post! No drawings today but I'll like to dedicate this post to a very important person in my life, my dad.

My dad has been a huge inspiration in my life and his passion for cameras became part of who i am too. Cuba was heaven for photography, I fell in love with the colors and textures this island had to offer. The classic cars against the decaying walls were eye-candies! Traveling gives me so much creative energy, now I'm pumped up to get messy with my paints! 

I would love to visit there again someday.

happy new year, pull your ear! (a common saying in singapore)

Right after finals were done, i popped myself on the plane to Seoul for christmas and Singapore for new years ;) it feels awesome to be home! To my surprise, the art scene here has been growing, an organisation like the OIC had a portrait drawing event on 020110. Got to meet local creative folks and even old friends, a perfect way to start the new year :)have you spotted me?

i did the one on the right

sold three pieces @ the event.. pity there were no photos of the last one, which was my favourite. photos are courtesy of mindflyer, when i get my hands on a scanner ill scan the rest of the unsold pieces ;)

I'll be heading off to CTN in Burbank this weekend, totally EXCITED! hope to see you there! ;)
last friday, the 13th! was a day of happy surprises... starting off with my favorite people presenting me with balloons in the middle of class with Joe Weatherly... Thank you Dax & Tash! <3

i am inspired :)

life has been pretty hectic, I have been working on a secret project for months and it's finishing in about a week, would love to show and tell on my blog but i've been sworn to secrecy on this :P
BUT keep those job opportunities coming! I'll be more than happy to work with YOU :)

making art makes me happy :)

i am

back... into GRAD SCHOOL!!! Apologies for the lack of posting, if anyone of you are still following my humble blog... Lots have happened during the span of 2008 and rolled into 2009, but I'm really excited to have matters resolved. With the help of very kind people and sponsors I'm able to refine my skills back at AAU.
THANK YOU for believing in me!

The rest of 2009 is going to be a busy one as a tutor at AAU, so why not post a piece of one of my old classwork in Color & Design, all done in gouche for the amusement of my students :D

and... the Yoga Studio which I practice at and also volunteering at has kindly offered their wall space for a showing of my work sometime this year =) I'm keeping my fingers cross for that and promise to post an update soon!

I am truly grateful, really.

Coraline

photos extracted from animation archive

i cant wait to watch Coraline! The article on animation archive about the mystery boxes the crew have been sending out to bloggers got me even more excited. Who doesn't like receiving packages in the mail?

my wish

on this day would be that my family would understand my need of space to grow and let me be

.me.

no art for today

graduated!!

With the persuasion from friends to give myself more credit for the work that I do... so here you have it, the winner in the 'Background Design' category in the Academy of Art Spring Show.

... and runner-up in 'Character Design' =)

I've officially graduated! My family was in town the last couple of weeks for the ceremony and to remind me that I need to get a 'real' job instead of doodling in my sketchbook and painting... so after hours of trying to recall web design skills which I had buried. I present you my website!
