These shoes are made for walking... on the sun.


My favourite shoes

Something i drew for fun as a tribute to the last days of summer-y autumn afternoons, as I lied on the lawn, entertaining myself with thoughts of happiness.

Check out my best friend amy's marvelous illustrations! Go knock yourself out, or rather... go get yourself knocked out.

I have always wanted to share with you some of my old works from uni, particularly from my first year. I guess that was when I worked hardest, before starting to slack off and procrastinate more and more. Guess that's my middle name, if I were to have one.


Extreme convergence perspective - Gotham City
Pencil colours, pastels and collage, 594x420mm.
Basic design studio (2001)


Have a good day, people and enjoy the sunshine while it lasts. I know because I have got Smash Mouth's Walking on the Sun in my head and it's fabulous.

All I need now is a new pair of heels ...... and salsa!

I'd love to have magic slippers that I could walk on the clouds.
You do beautiful work. I always wished I could draw.

Great stuff! You sure are talented. Just beautiful.

You didn't recognize the list on my blog b/c I'm sure you were just a twinkle in someone's eye at the time.

That's a great tune, for sure.

Oh babe, I have a far long way to go--Photoshop wasn't really my thing--Illustrator is more my forte, but thanks for the lovely picker-upper!

I remember that illustration you did--and I always thought that no one could wield the colour pencil better. :)

P/S--I need to buy more shoes.

Jesus, Chen, don't be drowing shoes! Haha I know you miss shopping but this is too much. I love the city and your other works I've seen so much! Go discover a salsa place, we'll go there together!

I haven't been in the blogging scene in ages. Clicked on your blog and was welcomed by a pair of beautifully sketched shoes. (^_^)

You have to give me tips on sketching. I love the hobby, sacrificed it for the satisfaction of spending pointless hours looking in to a computer screen.... sigh...

Anyway, keep on blogging. Looking forward in reading the next one.
