From blogger, livejournal, vox and then to wordpress.
And now finally Typepad.

But you see, I’ve been wanting to use Typepad since I was blogging on Blogger.
It was just too expensive for me to afford.
But now, I’ve finally convinced my sponsers ( mum and dad ) and yep. I’ve shifted!

See you over at the other side!

Good news: You can suscribe to my feed! That would make reading so much simpler too!

See you then!

and do say hi!

This short trip has been refreshing, but I think I needed more time. Returning back home, was something I wasnt looking forward to. Haha…Found out spicy stuff during camp, became closer friends with some, had many many funny and ugly photos, laughed so much our sides ached and talked about dying cause we laughed till we choke, prayed a lot and got sick, and ate many many strawberries and tried rose petals even! But nevertheless, I’m back.

More photos of the trip once I sort out the 7 memory cardfull of photos. Haha.
See you around!

PS: I took this photo and did this drawing, all on the coach ride home, thus the shaky bit.
I had baskin robins icecream, which was awfully good. And thus Markie was ‘created’.

Taught for 4 lessons straight, (basically stood on my feet from 9 to 6 ) went home and had really sore feet. It didnt help that the kids were a little naughtier and stubborn today.

And this week was the last week Kita was working at Studio Miu. She’s going back to Japan!

But nevertheless, thank you Kita, for always making lessons fun. For making me laugh when you could fit into the table cupboard, those pastel green crocs with all sorts of lovely bits of accessories, for helping me out and taking over, when I just wanted to pull my hair out running and scolding those kids, etc etc. Thank you so much! And hopefully, I’ll see you in Kyoto! Then see Kaoru in Osaka, then Toyko. HAHA.. Ya. Maybe when I save up enough money, that is. lol

Well, that’s all I have for now to show you. As you can tell, when I’m not doing art in my little home ‘studio’ space, I’m away in a dirty apron, teaching art and laughing along with kiddos.

Till Friday, do be safe!
Oh and if youre here, do say hi! I don’t bite. Haha..

Mizuki-Chan is 8 years old. She loves eating lollies and goes everywhere with a whole bag full of lollies. Her favorite color is Yellow, and she likes tying her hair up in two pigtails.
She has a special ability to contort her not-so-tiny feet and she prefers walking around barefooted. Ps: She likes feeling the sandy bits on the road.

Ps: I’m still working and playing around with more ideas for her yellow frame though.

I’ll post the final coloured one tomorrow, together with her little description!

This is my very first piece, for my coming second solo show in August, titled: こんにちは Hello!

It’s going to be held on the 4th and 5th of August 2007. I went to check out the hugeee 4x4mx3 walls exhibition space today, got down to spending 2 hrs in the Ikea frames section buying the best suitable frames. And now I’m so tired, I want to just chill a little first, have a drink or two, before starting on more sketching and drawing

Like I said, planning and doing a solo show,
it all gets very excitingly addictive for me!

So this week, I’ve become not only Teacher donkey ( dawn-key ),
I’ve also managed to set up my own teeny clay cuppycake business,
have my own little shop, and labelled cute, to Jintah and Irisha.
I’ve become 18, 20, 30 and even 38 years old in just one day!
And the kiddos stood up for me!

Okay. They just kept calling me: Sinsei Kawaii blah blah blah in Japanese.

“DAWN SINSEH, (points to myself) NIHON GOH WAKARIMASEN!“

Kita san says it’s really sweet, the things the kids do and say.
Well, I allow them to call me teacher donkey, as long as they are
still polite and do their work nicely. If not, I’d be lowering my glasses
and giving them the ‘allison look’. HAHA

Lol.

Rain or Shine, I’d grow old with you.
Pen and Colour pencils

My first try at soft clay, while teaching the kiddos art.
I did more today. Duckie and Bunny on a teeny weeny picnic.
Will post pictures up once I have them! ;-D

Try spotting my art pieces!
Yes, I know, it’s tiny but it’s better than not being featured at all!

*PS: I dont have a website per say. Thats why the flickr set link :/
Who would be nice enough to create a proper website for me for free? HAHA
