My little exhibition at home

They are there cause the paint isn't quite dry yet.

This one is far from done, but I was so bored that the teacher gave me something very different to do this week.

A story distantly related to Liu Xiaobo

Someone I know is working in Beijing and most of her colleagues are local.

In the morning when Liu Xiaobo was put on "trial" on suspicion of "inciting subversion of state power", one of her local colleagues was listening to RTHK morning news via the internet.  (The word "trial" has to be put inside a quotation mark cause that's not a fair one, and that office uses HK internet service.  Otherwise, RTHK website is blocked in Mainland China as in Facebook, Youtube, and many others.)  That was the first time that colleague heard about Liu's name (and not to mention the "trial"), so she "Baidu" the name.  (Baidu is a popular search engine in Mainland China.)  Baidu told her that her search result contained illegal content and therefore were not displayed.  Being a local, this certainly rang her bell.  She then switched to HK internet service and "Google" the name again.  She was surprised that so much was written about Liu but she was aware of none.

She then asked her HK colleague if she had ever heard about Liu Xiaobo.  The latter said yes and went on and on about details of Liu.  The Beijing girl was totally amazed.

Today, Liu Xiaobo was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize "for his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China", while he himself and many other Chinese prisoners of conscious are in jail.  At the same time, quite some Mainland Chinese haven't even had a chance to hear about their names.

Next time when a Chinese wins a Nobel Peace Prize, I certainly do hope s/he is fighting for some international peace mission, not something only on Chinese soil.

Release Liu Xiaobo.  Release prisoners of conscious.

Nobel Peace Prize 2010 goes to Liu Xiaobo

Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize 2010 "for his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China". Liu is currently serving his 11-year imprisonment due to "inciting subversion of state power".

Another term gone

This is not as nice as I expected.

A 2-hr sketch to fill the last class of the term. Also a good time to review the column (the mug) and the ball (the orange). Pencil drawing class will break for 3 weeks till end of October.

I suppose this means another stage of my oil painting.

演戲家族《一屋寶貝》主題曲

第二次睇《一屋寶貝》，依然喊足三小時。2nd run 的場地是荃灣大會堂，居然全場爆滿，等開場時有點熱血沸騰。可惡的是今天我睇尾場，sound track 竟然賣哂！

A skull

This is the 2nd one I did. The first one got so much retouching from the teacher that I gave it up and started another one.

Toys of an artist

Mini-plaster casts from 扭蛋機. They are very small. I don't think one can really draw from them though, but still, I want to collect them all!

For all those with brothers and sisters and bunch of cousins

Say no to racism

After reading all those frustrating racist posts / comments, I thought of this book I read and this post I wrote.

A hand

No doubt about it.

士多啤梨蘋果橙系列 (8)

My best friends, again, under the red light this time.  There are still green light, blue light and yellow light!!!!!

Never ending story

The same set of red pepper, papaya and egg but this time without light. The papaya is obviously smaller than real.

P.S. Still a long time till I "officially" done with these fruits and veggies.

士多啤梨蘋果橙系列 (六)

This red pepper, papaya and egg should be with me for a while, changing different colours of light or no light at all each time. But since I changed my class schedule, I may need to change the set later to be in a group with another girl. (Really a little girl. She comes to painting class with her mom.)

New Kids on the Sketch Book

My new project -- children sketches.

Used Chloe as the first experiment. It doesn't look like her of course but not so bad for the first trial.

BTW, raise your hands now if you don't want me to sketch your kids!
