balancing my self on the edge of the wall

My recent study in oil painting
I felt no improvement
my friend suggested me to "paint like an impressionism"
I thought I did -_-' but seems like I'm not T-T

Love to paint animal, somehow they are metaphors of my situation
this one, is also me, in New York
Things are beautiful around me here
but I'm balancing myself on the edge
trying not to fall back
in the middle of the wind
and trying to grow up

I had so much fun making this!!

Subway Story

Be Brave

Be Brave
My first clamation project for the class Intro to Animation.
It makes me realized that I love shooting and editing.

oil or watercolor ?

I painted again last night
It seems like I'm using watercolor, instead of oil...I don't know why
but I know I'll need a lot more practice

oil painting attempt

I felt so upset about my situation recently
Maybe it's an effect of new moon, maybe it's just my regular moodswinging

I just found another way to cope with it, except from escape to somewhere by the sea, or just close my eyes and go to bed.

I paint

and I felt so relieved.

Here is my first and second attempt of oil painting.
First one is the reproduction of "Blue dog", and another one is "Cozmo"

Don't laugh!!

My first vacation in NY

Finally I had a chance to relax, after all the final projects, application for graduation, apartment hunting, moving, renovating, etc.

And here is my recent sketch from my vacation
My architectural presentation teacher will kill me, after all the training...
However, I think my art teacher will pat me on my head, because I'm starting to draw daily now.

Farewell, 56 St Mark's Place

Tonight is my last night here, a place called "home" for me during the past eight months and a half month....almost 2% of my 293 month-old life.
Feels like some part of me will always be in this house.

1. First Encouter

I found this house from craigslist.org, in December 2005.
I never believe in love at first sight, but I fell in love with this place since the first step entering this 120 years old house.
Everybody keep saying "are you crazy?? it's tooooo far!!!"
but that won't prevent me from moving here.

2. First month in the house : mid Dec 05 - mid Jan 06

I finished my fall semester in NYIT, had a new year party with almost 12 Thai friends, and saw the snowstorm for the first time in my life.
It was a magical moment
Cozmo became "my boy"
I started to learn how to cook
went to Baltimore

3. Second month in the house : mid Jan - mid Feb 06

Spring semester started, I took five classes
less time to enjoy the house, missed the cherry blossom because I was too busy with school
