I like to paint inanimate objects. inanimate objects as in still-life 靜物畫 ?
inanimate objects are full of life to me.

conversations with papers
a good read = a good conversation. often leaving a fulfilling aftertaste & warmth — as demonstrated in the ending of Where the Wild Things Are and The Empty Pot. or sometimes, a strikingly unsettled feeling. eager for more dialogues. like after reading some of Jhumpa’s works and Life of Pi. if i am a book, i want to be one with a warm & sincere aftertaste.
aftertaste
@ Trafalgar Square about 10 years ago.
This little boy proudly exclaims that he wants to be a peacemaker when he grows up. :>
Peacemaker
One of my first household chores as a child was to buy soda from the store. The two 1-litre glass bottles of Coca Cola, bound together with nylon strings, were probably half of my height at that time.

sartorialist
Flip-flop, tank top, cargo shorts. Sandals, tee shirt and capri. Flats, cardigan, and dark washed jeans. All summer clothing. All year round. Too bad there is no winter here. I rarely get to see winter sartorialists in action.

Fear that what I do is only some kind of “creative pollution.”
However, keep going. Don’t give up yet. It is only through creating a large volume of work that the gap be bridged—the gap between recognizing good work (taste) and producing good works.

Be Fruitful in Every Good Work
Everything I do always come back to me. — Stefan Sagmeister. My response: Be Fruitful in Every Good Work.

If you could sustain your interest in what you are doing, you are an extremely fortunate person. What you see very frequently in people’s professional life, perhaps in their emotional life as well, is that they lose interest in their Third Act—you sort of get tired, and indifferent and sometimes defensive. And you kind of lose you capacity for astonishment. And it’s a great lost because the world is a very astonishing place. I think what I feel fortunate about is that I am still astonished. That things still amazed me. I think that’s the great benefit in the arts that the possibility for learning never disappear—where you basically have to admit you’ll never learn it.
from Milton Glaser
capacity for astonishment
From what I remember, my art school professors preached that appropriation/borrowing is an acceptable way of creating. Yet, an IP lawyer would say it is not always acceptable and it could be a form of copyright infringement. Nothing is Original. I just want to do what I love to do. And be authentic.
