The Year of Horse

Happy New (Chinese ) Year!
 This year is the year of horse. I have been drawing a lot of horses lately, although most of them look kind of like..... donkey. 

Okay, so Chinese New Year! We like to use the animal of the year to form a four-character idiom. This year I saw this idiom from my sister-in-law ---" 馬上有錢" !!!! It is so funny and brilliant!!

馬 上 有 錢
馬( horse)   上( on top/over )   有( have )    錢( money )
when "馬上" combines and uses together, it means "immediately/ right away"

So the phrase 馬 上 有 錢 has double meaning.
" money on the horse" & " have/got money immediately"
So cool, huh?

The yellow thing on the horse is money. It's called yuan bao which was a type of silver or gold ingot currency used in Ancient China.

Thanks for stopping by :)

It's almost February...

What's new?

My first Pop-Up book was published around the Christmas time (2013). The book turns out looking so amazing. I had so much fun working on this book with the amazingly talented artist Yevgeniya Yeretskaya and the help from the lovely A. D. Monika Brandrup.

I cant wait 2013 to come! I have a lot of ideas and plans in my head!!
First of all, I am moving out my tiny small studio and will move to a new apartment. By that mean, I will have more space to work!!! Excited! I am planning to do more traditional art in gouache rather than digital painting..and more papercut work :D

!EXCITED!

Traditional Chinese Garment, so pretty..

For some reasons, I cant resist drawing vegetable with faces.

Happy Holidays

Happy Holiday everyone! This piece is inspired by a 50s children book! :D
* Christmas, Christmas, I love Christmas... haha

 

hmm..doodle

I was doodling in photoshop and ended up having the piece below. It wasnt my intention to do something "Mary Blair"...but it ended up looking so Mary-Blair-influence. As an artist,  I dont think it is a good thing....don't get me wrong, i love mary blair to death. But I want my own style to come up first. Its funny how it ends up look like this when i was thinking "retro color" while painting it... i still have a long way to go :P need to practice more!

Thanks for stopping by.
