Her Strength

I used to take her to Peacocks.

The Droid I'm Looking For

Yes, it's Marvin. I love Marvin. I hope you do to.

Not even sure if mermaids are allowed to grow old. They always appear to be 16~23.

You know the kids in Neverland: they don't have eternal youth like most of us are lead to believe. Instead Peter kills them off when they enter puberty.

Ruth

I hope Ruth finds out soon that it's ok not to believe in god.

How terrible is Charm

if it doesn't bring happiness to the charmer herself.

pen & paper

when I had to move out of my previous love nest I left some of my possessions, including a set of kiddie fun-time colouring pens. I think I should get a new set. This time I want sexy, adult ones. If you know any good brands please kindly advise me. Thank you.

I entered this work to a competition. Didn't win anything but painting it was fun.

Dolbie

Sorry, the images look very small on the page. If you click on them, they get a bit bigger. Sorry again.

Dolbie is a character in one of my comic works. This is a shorter version of the part 1: Dolbie's family gets bankrupt so he gets sent to a rescue. I shortened the script to enter a competition - which I didn't manage to win. The longer version had some rude scenes in it, involving nudity and inflammatory language.

His name was originally spelled as DOLBY, but I thought that may become an issue if he got famous - which hasn't happened yet.

Mr. Goldfish

acrylic on canvas

...This is another example to prove I'm rather bad at tackling glass objects. Thinking about it, I don't think I nailed the fish either.

Feel a bit rubbish. I think Mr Goldfish does too.

Can you see the pint glass? Hopefully

Few people mentioned that the subject looks like it's urinating in mid air.

I can explain. It's nothing like that. It's sitting on top of an empty pint glass. It's just that I'm not good at painting glass. I'm not a maniac.

Sigourney

I love the film Aliens. They are just so great. I love Ripley because she respects procedure, but has no time for bureaucracy.

This is not a portrait of Sigourney Weaver though.

How I saw him

acrylic on canvas board

I took out audio guide at Tate Britain's John Martin exhibition.

Apparently critics panned his use of blue saying it's unnatural. I thought it was really unfair. End of the day, they were apocalyptic blues. Maybe his blues were not blue enough for blue blood of the academies.

I love the audio guides. Highly recommendable.
