I quite like to collect photos from magazines, usually portraits. Making drawings from my collections always calms me and makes me smile in the afternoon times.

Covert Garden is one of my favourite places in London. I do not know why it attracts me so much. I just love standing there in the light, wondering around the old buildings and smelling the classic London style life.

A cat of my friend does not like bath at all. Usually after a bath, she shows you the cutest eyes to avoid the next bath, but my friend enjoys the trick so much. Well, the next bath is on the way.

2009-12-03T14:11:00.000-08:00

I am getting more and more interested in cat recently. This doesn't match this week's topic at all ( sorry about it! ). Well, I enjoyed the moments of watching her and painting her. The feeling is kind of like eating crunchy vegetables-- equally wonderful.

No Sleeping Here

2009-09-09T14:13:00.001-07:00

It happened in a very hot summer in Taipei where I was on my holiday there. I went by a bank. Through its big window, I saw a label on the coffee table in its entry hall, on which it said both in Chinese and English, "No Sleeping Here". Apparently there used to be some people sleeping there, of course not on the table but on the sofa which was for its customers waiting for the service. I thought those sleepers were really clever because it was too hot outside on the street, and there were air-conditioners on inside. So why not have a snap there? But obviously the bank didn't want this, so they put a sign on the table to warn those potential sleepers. I felt it was interesting, so took a picture from the outside of the window.

This sketch was based on that photo.
