Episode 2 - 'Tree of Life'

Last Weekend

I've filming and editing for the past 3 days - I think I have goggly eyes now! It's been great working with my filmmaker Nate and learning more about filming. I must admit I get bored easily so there is a lot of time spent waiting around setting up shots, getting the light right etc.

Episode 2 should be uploaded at the end of this week/ early next.

You'll get a peek into my new studio

and see me painting!

PS. Not sure if I have told everyone - I have my own Vimeo Page where you can now watch all the films in High Definition.

Deadly Beauty

From my recent visit to JJ Markets, I am inspired by Siamese Fighting Fish. I think these are going to be really love to paint.

Chatuchak Markets

My visit to Chatuchak Markets was an overwhelming experience for the senses. Stalls upon stalls of people selling similar types of products can make one very bored; especially if you're a seasoned and discerning shopper. But if you know where to go and the stalls to visit, it can be a shopper's paradise. You can buy literally everything there from pet snakes to designer clothing to custom made furniture for the home. And get it all sent to your home anywhere in the world!

There is a whole section devoted to artists!

I could've spent all day in the book section!

Everything and anything!

So delicious and cooling from the heat!

How gorgeous are these lanterns?

One of the highlights was meeting Artist Chaiyo.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE

Welcome to our very first Valentine's Day Blog Hop! Some of my talented artist friends (and moi) have created special artworks to celebrate this special day of LOVE. You can never have too much love in the world! Please check out their wonderful works of art below with links to their blogs. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Weekend Market

I'm off to Bangkok this weekend to visit Jatujak Markets - the world's biggest weekend market. I can't believe I haven't made it here yet. Apparently, it is overwhelming - imagine trawling through approximately 110,000 square metres. The market is divided into 27 sections and there are over 10,000 shops!!

Here is my studio!

For anyone who is visiting Chiang Mai and would like to visit my studio, here's the map. We're just located 5 mins north of the old city.

Desk Snapshot - LOVE

Today, I am starting work on a new piece of art to celebrate Valentine's Day! Be sure to check back here on the 14th as some of my artist friends and I will be 'spreading the love'. Each of us will post our LOVE creation along with links to each other's artwork. It should be a lot of fun - I can't wait to see what other people are doing.

Flamingoes or Goldfish??
