Let's work it out

Current reading

I'm like a little fans. I collected his manuscript as well as the side products.
He is John Ho, a HK illustrator.

His illustrations is always my favorite. It's one of my reasons to
buy Amoeba magazine in my school age. He posted his drawings on Amoeba
regularly, and I posted an illustration spread beside my bed.
His drawings are charming cos of the pastel colors and their message behind.

"John Ho少年事件──成長的快樂與輕狂事" is John Ho's 3rd book.
Personally, I prefer "蜂蜜綠茶" and "忘記旅行"
(sad that I could not buy the latter one), cos' of the poem-liked atmosphere.

Anyway, I enjoy reading "少年事件" at the bedtime.
The illustrations with articles talk about his childhood.
It reminds us (especially for those born in 80s) our children life,
eg. ETV, playing with neighbor, tutorial center, mess on teacher and so on.

Relaxing, quiet, clam yet smiley :)

Princess

This is the original picture of the Princess mushroom,
I was in a hurry and finished the last pastel picture I shown you.
I found a lot of portraits in the museums,
and hope I can draw one for the people I like.

So tired to carry the heavy backpack to walk 1.5km from
hostel to train station...but we met nice friend in the station.

I helped as a mentor at YMCArts DIY book workshop recently. I could not share/help much and I do think all of you are creative. While all of us are tired on the projects on hand, thanks Aggie to share the following article about「直覺」from Siu Hak.

‘那運用這種思維模式去想東想西亂咁闖，究竟有何意義呢？我不知道，可能毫無意義，可能一無所得，只是過程中必定會產生一些「滿足感」。值得一提的是，不管你是什麼人，其實我們都要靠「滿足感」來供應養份，所以我們需要「興趣」或「寄托」，都是希望從中獲得滿足感罷了。於創作人，不同的是，我們的滿足感大多是自己創造出來的，…

寫畢這兩期，我也不清楚會對年輕人有何啟發，只想你知道，你接觸過的每部小說每首歌曲每齣電影每個 game 或任何藝術創作，背後都一定經歷過這種毫不理智的過程，隨後加以聯想、回想和幻想，便成創作了。也容我臨別非常老套的強調：你咪咁 care 那結果啦唔該！「怕自己畫得唔好」是最愚蠢的一類恐懼，沒有人知道這種直覺最後會帶你到達哪個終點，但起碼過程中保證能得到滿足，這還不足夠嗎？…’

(p. 78, 79 - 香港顏色論 之紅、黃下)

Really appreciate the support between each other, although we are all exhausted and desperate with the tight schedule. Keep fingers crossed and I will be happy to see all the babies.

Go ahead to achieve your goal. Be confident, friends :)
