Nothing about laziness,I am working on few design projects and my “Street impressions” book signing events in China recently. Many readers ask me why I didn’t update my personal illustrations as many as before, actually I still insist on drawing many different kinds of styles,but more for the book projects and commercial designs.Each time after uploaded my fashion look drawings,it made me relaxed a little bit. Fashion diaries is one of the ways to express my life, but not the only way.It can make other people happy as it brings a view into another persons life, a intimate or personal perspective.
Yesterday I read a quote from Ang Lee, which said most of artists have to keep thinking, keep pushing themselves to refresh their talents,as if you peel the layers of onion one by one. It is very true. From my opinion everyone has different talents,if you don’t keep learning,your passions and talents will be gone so quickly. So it doesn’t matter who you are, the point is not to become lazy when it comes to being creative. You have to keep going, keep learning and experimenting, pushing yourself no matter what you do in life as long as it is something you love. To be consumed in what you love in life is a warm feeling and comforting, it is, also one of the things that makes a person great at their chosen field. That love for knowledge, learning, and to become great.

The theme of this time is Trench elegance again.This background was a very old condition houses district,which my father used to play with this friends when he was a kid. It has an old world quality to it that I can imagine in books or other forms of drawings. When I come back, be sure to keep an eye on the blog there will be a lot more art and illustrations =) .
