The 1st Week of Spring12 at RCC

Whoever comes here and visit my blog, thank you! I just wanted to say it up front since I feel guilty for not updating my blog for such a long time. My life has been very busy and crazy (in a very exciting and positive way) Last week was the first week of Spring 2012 semester and I had a very busy weekend with my students trying to add/drop classes, going through a matriculation and auditing process, etc. The weather has been pretty horrible too. But the first day in my class though when I was ready to go home I got to see the double rainbow as seen above.

Meanwhile, I got a new office in the "ART BUILDING" where I teach all of my classes. Until last semester, my office was located in a lower side of the campus which was about 15 minutes walk from where I teach. So here are some pictures of my new office. The best part is that I can brew my own coffee and I can microwave or make my own lunch before or inbetween my classes.




This semester being my 7th semester teaching at RCC, I just simply can't wait to see my students' drawings and films! Have a fun president's weekend all!

Film, 'Dream' completed

Yup so 'Dream' is finally done. It's only 3 minutes and 20 seconds but it took me about a half a year to complete this film... I am not 100% satisfied with the result but who does...? I am happy though this is my very first official film that I finished since I got out of UCLA although there were a lot of freelance and experimental pieces I have done in last couple of years. The film is being sent to film festivals and I will keep updating the premiere and screening info of this film here on my blog. For now, the only clip you can view of this film is my 30 seconds vimeo trailer.

2 years old Allie

Allie turned 2 years on January 2nd. Here are some quick sketches of recent Allie. She's getting more and more adorable. Medium I used were BIC pen and watercolor on a sketchpad. Enjoy!

Gallery Girls at Gallery Godo (1/6/12)

Figure drawing is always fun but it's something I miss out quite a lot. Since one of my new year resolutions is to draw 10x more than 2011, I might as well take advantage of life drawing workshops more. Thanks for stopping by my blog :)

Dream (2012) still 4

Here is another film still of my new film, 'Dream.' I decided to continue uploading the film stills and maybe trailer(s) since I won't be putting my entire film up online until a year later. Medium here is a pencil and oil pastels on paper and it's from a scene where a fish is diving into the water.

My expected completion date of this film is at the end of this month (January 2012) I will post a premiere info in this coming spring. Thanks for checking it out~

Intelligentsia Coffee 2012

First of all , happy new year everyone!
I started off my new year's eve and new year with drinking and drawing
"Intelligentsia Coffee" in Old Pasadena, a couple of blocks away from my house.
They have "GOOOOD" coffees. I love taking Allie(my dog) there.

So here are some drawings I did at Intelligentsia. I used pen and watercolor.
They have such unique looking coffee cups.
Enjoy~
