The forgotten


I forgot to put this friendly chap on.
He is one of the set of drawings I did on the note book when staying in sweden.
--------
I lost a note book with 1-2 drawings I did on the air plane because I started chatting with a multi-lingual 19-year -old Norwegian who's been in the same vehicle since I left my house (the same shuttle bus and airplanes) while I am drawing. Then I left the notebook in the airport. Well, its good to have talked with him. He can speak so many languages, Scandinavian languages, English, Spanish, Cantonese, Japanese. We couldn't talk in Chinese, because I speak mandarine! And then a comical scene happened right there in the airport -- a Chinese learning how to speak Chinese (Cantonese) from a Norwegian! That was how I forgot my note book in Helsinki.

Fast Runner and Orienteer



Guess what? They arrived at the same time, but I still prefer the orienteer's approach.
What if there is no map and compass?
Maybe then everyone has to take the fast runner's approach?
- Painful !

Desaster and Experiment


The bad nice-looking pen had a little desaster yesterday.
It had dropped its head (or leg?) in the ink bottle. In order to get its head out of the narrow opening of the bottle, I used 2 cotton sticks (only tools available at the time) as chopsticks to take it out without throwing the ink away. As a result, I got a lot of ink in my hand and on the desk-table.
I experimented making some drawings with cotton sticks. It was the first time I ever draw this kind of "realistic" thing. It was not bad. I will use this cotton stick "equipment" some other time.

Waitress Horror-1

Being a waitress is no easy task.

--It's highly stressful.

You have to deal with a set of timer-bombs!

Waitress Horror-2




If you don't deliver the food in time, the customers will explode!

If you don't put the right thing on the right place at the right time, the food will explode and customers will explode too!

No moon on 2nd day of Chinese new year

举杯邀明月 对影成三人.....
Which means: (awkward translation)
"take the glass and invite the moon, it makes 3 of us with my shadow."
I wanted to quote this part of a famous poem by Li Bai and then realized that there is no moon to be seen at this time of a lunar month according to Lunar calenda and my own observation.

Pig again

Last week's experiment was draining me dry! I didn't have energy to think of anything funny!! So I only put this old drawing on!
------
I made this drawing because I hate some.....
Well, this is a fashion-obsessed, brand-obsessed, manner-obsessed, form-obsessed, look-obsessed empty-minded dressed up pig lady.

A pig looks great when dressed up, wearing jewelries and behaving femininely, and it could even play lady, believe it or not.
------------------
This pig shouldn't only represent vain ladies because there are some vain boys/men out there too!

Dedicated to Meiji Almond Chocolate (2004)


I made this pic out of Meiji Almond Chocolate box and Meiji Milk Chocolate wrapper.
Want to see the original?


Half the weight I gained during year 2004 came from these naughty chocolates.
Luckily, I am through with the "Almond one" now.

Copyright Issue






A Sea snail is talking to a jewelry maker. Let me translate it into one of the human languages.
He/She said: "If you want to use my shell for your necklace production when I am dead, you have to pay for the copyright[1], say, 15 planktons a day....."

[1] Copyright for the unique copy of shell generated from a unique combination of genes.

AES for Cats

There are lots of mice, with identical weight but each with different taste, running from cathode (cage) to the sample (cheese). These mice, after a good or bad meal, will run along the trajectory in the cylinder and go out of the exit to the detector (Cat).
Suppose the cheese is large enough to provide for all the running mice. In fact the mice can only consume the surface of it.
The cat then weighs each mouse, of course eat some, and make a graph of Taste(Energy)-Weight increment(counts). This graph contains the information of the sample (cheese) surface.

This is a schematic illustration of a cylindrical mirror electron Auger-spectrometer found in a surface science book for cats, in the chapter about Auger electron spectroscopy (AES).

WARNING: DON'T TRY TO UNDERSTAND AES FROM THIS POST!

Organic Restaurant

This a very environment-friendly organic restaurant.
A snail is hired here as a decoration. Its job is to be here and have fun.

I would like to set the background to Japan since Japanese people are quite nice to environment in my opinion.
This is a collaboration with my excellent then-boy friend. It was found on a scratch paper date back to the summer of last year.
Now its time for cartoons again

Dancer fossil

I thought about making a figure like this after shower when listening to Tommy February6. I made this drawing when was listening to Discovery by Daft Punk so it turned out to be a little different from the original idea. 
I enjoy turning audio entities into visual ones.

Luxurious update



This handsome and tough looking bird is a New Zealand robin (if I remembered right). He is so very good at posing that he should be the cover bird of "VOGUE AVIAN"

Thanx to David Attenborough and the interesting BBC documentary "The life of birds", especially the cameraman who is very important but always ignored by the audience (just like the air).

This is a kiwi who lives in New Zealand and have abandoned flying a long time ago so it looks like a fury ball with a bird head and 2 legs. It is now "looking" for food at night, we should better say it is smelling for food because of its sensitive nose and poor eyesight.

This is an Australian frilled lizard. "When it is threatened by its enemies, it responds by spreading the giant frill it has around its neck. But if that doesn't scare them off--
it runs away on its hind legs."
--David Attenborough
This scene was very funny, looks like a sneaky python silly walk.
Warning: Their hands can be very far from reality
