Sustained Synthesis II

Over the weekend I had a chance to visit this arboretum near our house in Orange County in California. It is an arboretum open to the public all year around. I took a few pics. Later back I took those photos and re-synth them and this is what became of it. This might be an old sage still sitting there at the arboretum under a shade, or who knows, maybe an elemental spirit? Or just an impression that I got from the visit......

Anatomical Disaster I

I have always been fascinated by the medical drawings and historical bio-medical illustrations or diagrams since I was little. They seemed to defy who we are, as we don't really see ourselves as such, all cut up and laying motionless on a operating table. Yet as I come across more and more of these intricate and detailed drawings, whether it be reflexological chart, acupuncture point diagrams, or a heart valve dissection drawing, I find them aesthetically pleasing to view.... If anyone is interested, check out this fabulous blog - Morbid Anatomy, you'll be surprisingly amazed and possibly entertained by the notion....

Floating Debris

Some mechanical details overload. Just can't seemed to get away from the symmetrical designs, oh, no, do I smell obsession? Ah, getting ready to have a Father's Day lunch! Hope you guys have a good one!

Hard Engine II

OK, this is the continuation from last night's post and inspiration. Yes, what else but the strewn pipes, tubes, mechanical things that surround us, as we are all too easily choked up by the modern technological inventions, gadgets, electronic devices, things, matters everywhere that we can't really seem to get away from. It would be nice if I have an extra room in my house totally devoid of things, just a plain white painted wall room for a quiet meditation. Unfortunately I don't, I am completely surrounded by years of accumulated memos, action figures, boxes, keep sakes, letters, old printer, scanner, devices that are now just gathering thick layer of dusts. Somehow by creating art, I can get away from this banal reality of cluttering all around me..... Well, OK, let's see what tomorrow will bring us. Good night readers.......

Transfigural Pause

Welcome dear wondering eyeballs! This is the beginning of my committed one year nightly art therapy, and each week (hopefully), I will be able to therapy myself into making couple of these ink greased art piece for the uploading and sharing. I hope you join me with this little inky journal of mine and see how far this creative process unfolds......

In this piece - Transfigural Pause, I have used a main foreground figure as a reference of traveling through and frozen in a slice of time, changing from one locality to multiple localities while other background events are going on all at the same space and time either physically or trans-dimensionally...... Hope you like it.....
