Some jerk took edwardjuan.com when I forgot to pay for my host service. And during that period of 1 month when my host is holding hostage of my account; someone bought it before I could. People! Don't forget to pay your bills on time.
So to start off my new year, I got informed from the SE Portland Artist association that I'm approved to participate a huge gallery sale and opening on first weekend of May. I'm gonna be busy the next few weeks to develop my inuit/canadian/northwest pacific/contemporary/storytelling/eastern asian cultured ideas. You know, those Inuit inspired folkish paintings I draw. So I'm coming up with more ideas. That means a lot of walking around with a sketchbook and biking around town and thinking a lot. I kinda want to touch base on the texture of fir and pine. Its really cold in Portland, so making a trip up to the mountain will be hard. Here's something I randomly come up with after eating at a vegan restaurant called the Nutshell in the NE area.
My friend Julian and Kim have been really inspiring to me lately. When we made our Halloween costumes we had so much fun that we thought of a short film idea base on that experience. We are thinking of doing a short film of just random monsters battling it out in a city. We are looking for an excuse to make more monster costumes and possibly the pleasure of stomping on city models and animated stop-mo characters.
Oh, and I constantly got sick throughout December and first week of January. That's another reason I didn't update my blog. I had nothing to show! Except sketchbook sketches, but those are boring. I rather show something more interesting. Like this, my new york friend Chaiwen got photographed by the New York Magazine, Look Book team. I think she will be featured in the next year's Look Book issue.
