Welcome to my new blog
Old and new design

People will probably scream when looking at the code but why would I spend 10 hours pulling my hair troubleshooting some nasty CSS when I can just do the same job in an hour using HTML?! […] (more…)

Painting exercise
Bath time
As suggested by Bobby Chiu, I just did a quick painting exercise in the style of one of my favorite artist Nate Wragg. Well it is pretty much a copy of one of his paintings. The grey background was just to avoid working on white but in retrospect white could have been better 😉 Ah I will have to learn colour harmony one day… how/where to start?
Gaston Lagaffe by Franquin

Milt Kahl Disney family album
Milt Kahl is my favourite Nine Old man. I really respond to his strong poses, eye for detail, sense of observation and draftmanship. People who can draw like him are really really rare.

Ward Kimball videos
I just love the sheer wackiness of Ward Kimball.
Director:
“The duck goes out to the right and comes in to the left, you can’t do that, that’s not logical, you need to have those tie ups, it has to make sense”
Ward:
“Look… who cares! That gives it it’s flavour, it’s craziness”
Here is the Disney Family album Ward Kimball special
