#InkTOBER Day 5: Happy Birthday, Elizabeth!

#InkTOBER Day 5: Happy Birthday, Elizabeth!

Elizabeth Rose Stanton is the author/illustrator of Henny whom I admire a lot.  I got to know her through Facebook, and she kindy accepted my friend request and we have become friends.  I am thrilled to have Elizabeth as my friend.

Today is her birthday.  I wish to dedicate my Day 5's partcipation to #InkTOBER to wish her a wonderful birthday.

You see, I try to disguise myself as Henny but I am not even half close!  :-)

#InkTOBER Day 2: Love Hong Kong

#InkTOBER Day 2: Love Hong Kong. 

I do not like politics.  I have no interest in politics.  No matter what, politics exists.  Hong Kong is my home place.  I just want to live here calmly.  Just want PEACE and LOVE.



#InkTOBER has begun!

#Inktober has begun! I will do my best to meet this challenge of posting 31 ink drawings throughout the month of October, one every day. (I must make it! I have "vanished" from making art for toooooo long).

Top 10 Favorite Books

Wow, I have not updated my blog for ages!  Too tired everyday after returning home from my day job. 

Yesterday, I have received (so honored) an invitation from my dear MATS buddy Antoana Oreški-Džafić to participate to a book nomination project. The participants should name 10 of their very favorite books and ask 10 other friends to make their list.

I am a bookworm, so this is not a big problem :-) 

When you look at my list, please just don't laugh.  From the list, you can have a glimpse of how my world is like recently.  I am so obssessed by almost anything related to making art for children.

Here you go, my Top 10 Favorite Books (not in specific order):



Maple - by Lori Nichols


Histoires inédites du Petit Nicolas - by Goscinny & Sempé

The Art of Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea - by Hayao Miyazaki, Studio Gibli
