Peacock Hungover

Second watercolor work for the summer. The Katy Perry peacock song was stuck in my head again so I had this idea of painting peacock feathers! Haha! Too bad I went overboard on her hair, though. She's looking a bit like a feather-ized Medusa now.

What do you think?

Say Hello To Saur-e!

Watercolor has always been my go-to medium when I just want a quick outlet of sudden inspiration. This summer though, I told myself to use it in making my most ground-breaking artworks yet! So in my excitement, I sat down, took up my brush and painted the first thing that popped into my mind after 10 solid minutes of staring down the blank paper... Lo and behold, my stuffed dino! Cue "Har har har."

Say hello to my stuffed dino, Saur-e! I'm sure you've seen him as my crazy how-to-make-a-party hat model before (No? Check out my sudden urge to do some arts and crafts here.) With his first ever painted portrait, he hopes he makes you smile. Haha!

Here's to a better attempt at making nicer works!

Best Summer Chillers

Since summer was reaching the shores of Hong Kong already, my 5th day here was spent hunting down (exaggerated language use, that is - it’s everywhere!) for my all-time favorite “comfort chiller” in the city - Hui Lau Shan’s Aloe Vera Jelly coolers. Ever since I was a kid, this was what my cousins and I looked for whenever walking outdoors became a tad bit warm. Trust me, there’s no better way to re-energize yourself for more shopping in the afternoon! :)
