Get Summer Back

It snowed again, heavily. I'd like to get more warmth a bit through thinking of some summer colour. So I did these.

The End of Autumn

With the first snow in Shenyang, I realised autumn has really ended. Here's a little piece of autumn colour for you all, from my sketchbook.

Illustrations for Focus on Dalian

Early this month I was commissioned to do two editorial illustrations for the new issue Focus on Dalian magazine. This is my first time to work with them.Focus on Dalian is a bimonthly magazine created by people from different countries which is like a local platform with multi-cultural vision. I read some of its issues when I was living in Dalian. Didn't expect that they would contact me for contributions one day.

Within Temptation

Before Sunset

“Just in Time” by Nina Simone

Just in time you've found me just in time
Before you came my time was running low
I was lost the losing dice were tossed
My bridges all were crossed nowhere to go
Now you hear now I know just where I'm going
No more doubt of fear I've found my way
For love came just in time you've found me just in time
And changed my lonely nights that lucky day

Chocolate Time

Chinese Beauty
