Birth of a Star

Been working on this for the last couple of days. You should see the pictures I looked at while I was painting this one, they're these beautiful nebulae photographs. According to Wikipedia nebulae often lead to creations of stars. Learning about the world we live in can be so poetic, don't you think?

Fireworks!

Ughhh and I got sick the next day.... I think I might've caught something that night.

Eye on the Price!

Fellow British Columbian Steve Nash is getting it done with wet hair sticking to his forehead and a swollen right eye (courtesy of San Antonio Spur Tim Duncan). Nash's Phoenix Suns are moving on to the NBA Western Conference Finals after a brilliant performance tonight against their arch enemy Spurs.

I love how he opens his other eye twice as wide as if to make up for the one that's closed. Well he got 4 assists and 10 points after taking an elbow in the face so I guess it worked!

Live from Vancouver, it's Friday Night!

Paul Pierce hit a buzzer-beating, game-winning step back jumper (I've seen him do that a few times before, the exact same shot), my hero Deron Williams led the short-handed Jazz to yet another victory in their series against Denver, and oh by the way the Canucks OWNED the Kings. I'm not much of a hockey guy but I love how this city gets a little crazy when hockey is being played here.

I got a gig today drawing cartoons for a blog, I tried to get a little New Yorker-esque. Go blog!

I'm also trying to start an acoustic guitar / cello duo band. If anyone knows a kick ass cellist let me know. Speaking of Kick Ass, that movie ain't half bad. In fact, it pretty much kicked ass.

Mad with Red!

I made a trip to downtown Vancouver yesterday after Canada clinched gold in men's hockey in an exciting overtime match against the Americans. To the Canadians the men's hockey event in the Olympics is like the hamburger in the happy meal. Needless to say, yesterday afternoon downtown Vancouver was swamped with excited, passionate, (lightly) intoxicated, patriotic hockey fanatics who were eager to show their support by screaming off the top of their lungs and then getting sh*t-faced.

I took a stroll amongst the crowd to inhale some of their enthusiasm for the Great White North and sat down at the back of the public library to make a few drawings -

I've never seen so many red shirts and Canadian flags in my life before.

About every two out of three people were wearing a red Canadian shirt.

This guy was wearing a Vancouver Canucks jersey, too.

Showing homage to our kick-ass goaltender.

This guy is a big fan of Canada.

Experiencing this Olympic phenomena has got me thinking about the life of athletes and stuff about patriotism. Perhaps more thoughts on these two topics later...

Hello Vancouver 2010!

And good-bye. I'm going to be in Taiwan for the next couple of weeks :p
