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.

Pook

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

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.

Bankside is one of my favourite areas in London.

Pushy parents baffle me.
Not talking about people who encourage kids to do better. I mean the ones who want their kids to BE THE BEST-IN THE WORLD.

I often seen them on media talking proudly (and maniacally) of their parental choices. But I never hear any 'ex' pushy parents talking about their kids developing eating disorders or some form of social impediments. Sometimes suicides. Even failing.

I genuinely want to know how they feel.

Are you an ex pushy parent, whose offspring snapped under your relentless pressure? What do you feel? Resentment? Disappointment? Bewilderment?

Hot Breeze

I love heat. Doesn't bother me at all. This is a gift, especially when one has to use underground for commuting.

Sink

crayon on paper

Once I messed up a colouring project at primary school. Used crayon but it got all sticky and messy.

My teacher told me that I must have deliberately produced crap work to hurt her feelings - she started freaking out and called me malicious. Then the cow slapped my head.

Then I was made to apologize.

I still like crayons though.

Ruth or Clair

Shade of my hair is jet black. I used to think I qualified as 'brunette' but one day a barber corrected me.

I've always liked red hair look. I get a little irritated when I hear some folks suggest red heads are fiery. That's just too simple. Red=Fire, Red-Passion etc. Also if one treats another with that sort of attitude, who can complain about being retorted by scorn and some level of aggression.

I'd be a bit fed up if many assumed black haired folks are morbid or bad. I can be a bit evil at times but that's by choice and not due to my pigment. If someone comes up to me and say I'm a bad person and my black hair is the proof, I'll just give them my pocket change so they lose the argument.

Small, long limbed folks

pen & colour pencils on paper

I borrowed colour pencils from my ex's daughter. She didn't mind. Having said that, she was a very polite and kind person (hope she still is), so maybe she did mind but just didn't show.

Ms. NR

Digital photo, shopped

I've never been good with photoshop - which is a shame as I have endless fun playing with it. The original living Ms. NR is much prettier than this. 

 

I learned the program in 1997. There were still Pteranodons flying over our heads.
