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.

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.

Canadians are traditionally peace keepers but we are no longer just “peace keepers” anymore, not in recent years. I learned this from one great Canadian, Senator Romeo Dallaire.

Kempton: Thanks for the video reference. I was not aware of the difference between “peacemaker” and “peacekeeper”. The Farscape Peacekeeper is my immediate association to the word. (Do you know that SciFi series?)

The story behind my little drawing is that I was intrigued by the little boy’s intention to be a peacemaker. Such an unexpected answer. It was just a casual chat and I thought the little boy would either shrug with a smile or say something like doctor or something “normal.” He is my little hero! :)
