Tina was preparing her travel to another side of the world, that was the last few hours she could spend in her own country, she cherish the memory of all the people she left behind at her home town, she felt tired but she had to go.

Took a nap by the window enjoy the warm sunshine, these were the last things she could enjoy before she go, and that would be a long way to go.

According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2011 is the Year of the Golden Rabbit, which begins on February 3, 2011 and ends on January 22, 2012. The Rabbit is the fourth sign of the Chinese Zodiac, which consists of 12 animals signs. The Rabbit is a lucky sign. Rabbits are private individuals and a bit introverted. People born in the Year of the Rabbit are reasonably friendly individuals who enjoy the company of a group of good friends. They are good teachers, counselors and communicators, but also need their own space.
I was planing to do this painting at the beginning of this year, but I really don’t have much time on painting. Working hard to live, and live for my life, but what my life living for?

What does it feel like when you smoke a cigarette? Exciting？Calm？
As I get in to smoking, nearly a year had past. Surly as the cover of cigarette said it is harmful to my health, it’s hard to say what it brings to me except that, but sometimes you just need something to get excited or calm, the cigarette, that’s what you need.

Don’t try this at home, kids.

The Chinese characters on the background means: “How bold you are, then you can produce that much on your farm.”

The old time Chinese slogan seemed funny, but the poster on that age was beautiful. Red white and yellow, that was fancy.

This swamp canyon in my imagination, is located in another world, all living creatures live in this wonderland peacefully, no ruler, no war.

The sun gives energy, the water gives life, they live in the cycle, the cycle of life.

According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2010 is the Year of a Golden Tiger, which begins on February 14, 2010 and ends on February 2, 2011. The first day of the lunar New Year 2010 falls on the 14th day of February, which is Saint Valentine’s Day, so it is a day the West celebrates as a lovers’ day, a day of romance. To the Chinese, it is the start of the Golden Tiger Year. The Tiger is the third sign in the cycle of Chinese Zodiac, which consists of 12 animal signs. It is a sign of courage. This fearless and fiery fighter is revered by the ancient Chinese as the sign that wards off the three main disasters of a household: fire, thieves and ghosts.

And I was born in 1986, wich is also a year of tiger.

Wish you a happy new tiger year, and hope you like this tiger paint.

I’m not blind, I just don’t have eyes. I am the Eyeless.

Six years of my primary school time was just like a yesterday dream, then middle school, college… and now.

Memories are so far from me, I almost start to doubt about them, was it really my dream or I just made them up to myself? I met my primary school desk-mate ปิ่น มณี (it’s her Thai name, sounds like “Bin Manny”), and we talked about how we play, how we laugh when we were both on primary school. Suddenly I was like drowning into my memories, lots and lots of sounds, lots and lots of images came to my mind, I can almost touch them.

Manny was my best friend in primary school, my Mom knows her Mom well, but we lost contact after we went to the middle school and university. She will be graduated next year, and I was graduated last July.

She said: “Do you remember when we were in the first grade of our primary school? You helped me pick cherry on our way home.”

Again, I was drowning.

Here are more WIP images.

Winter comes really fast this year. First snow of season with thunder storm hit Beijing last week, and this morning, Beijing embraced a even heavier snow.

The temperature here as report had fallen to zero before the first snow, and now it stays blow zero.

My room may warmer than the outside, but I can still feel the power of this god-created disaster, allow me the use this word, there are people trembling and suffering in this sudden snow, some may die.

Ok, back to this image. That’s another quick sketch I’ve done today, just to say “I am freezing man!”

Beijing is a good place, but if you are talking about the weather, I’d have to disagree.

Many times I walked in this corridor in my dream, there was a light far far away, I walked and walked, but could never get to the end. The light was unreachable.

Have you ever had a dream like this?

I was planning to read a book this morning, but this image came to my mind, a lot of dream flew through my memory, I just can’t help myself to paint this on my PC.

It was really simple to build the basic model in 3dsmax, apply maps, render… I spent my time on the passes outputting from 3dsmax, considered the postproduction later in Photoshop, I made a color pass, an AO, a “depth of filed” channel, and of course, the Alpha channel, as you can see, the background was hand painted. Some passes are added when I compose it in PS, you don’t know if you would really need that.

Painting the dream?
Yes. That’s what I did, and I am having fun from it.
A blog asked a question I quote:

Why do we make art?

I cannot specific the exact answer now, but to record the images cameras cannot, I think, is one of the reasons why we make art.
