Jilian

Inspired by Jilian, a designer from Project Runway Season 4. She like some pretty girl coming from Egyptian frescoes or Greek palaces. Her eyes' big and wide. I like her curly dark hair. Of course, i'm very impressed by another designer Christian. He's quite talented.

Vivian and I watched through the window when we ate at Mcdonald's. The grandfather was helping his 2 grandchildren eating. Anyway, the 2 children were happy. Watching them, I felt happy too.

[Drawing] It Is Written

Dedicated to Ding's picture 129 Pairs Of Eyes.

Ding·Yi 129 Pairs Of Eyes

Ding saw a university students enrollment statistics on his teacher's website. It is published that the amount of students enrolled in Tsinghua University and Beijing University(two of China's best universities) is 130 times than that in Henan Province. The chances of farmers' children studying in college is only 1/30 of children in cities. The money that government invest in education layed out in cities is 3 times than the rural area. Perhaps we could find the reason and solution together rather than just blame and criticize the system with nothing to do.

Ding wrote a poem below the pic. He wrote,
leave, my brother.
I am always watching you.
I am not crying.
How can I?
Haven't we made a deal?
Haven't we made a deal?
Even before we born
Haven't our lives been fated?
......

Everything is written. And we'll always been watching you.

[Drawing] Flying Horse Above Sky

I drew this for no particular reason. Some scenes just flashed into my mind. And I don't know why I came to color the horse pink and make it fly in sky...

[Drawing] Such Is Life

I drew this pic at the end of last year and colored it a couple of days ago. The red coffee mug was broken. Too many courses in this semester make me work my head off. Thus I have little time reading, watching film, drawing and going out of school for photoing.

Such is life. Always full of reluctance.

[Photos] First Love With Film

I bought this camera made in 1988 last year and finaly developed the first roll of film last night. During that time I met different problems that stopped me shooting. Like my camera broke down once and I had to wait for a long time to get someone fix it. But ultimately I made it.

24 photos was successfully scanned into the computer. I'm still happy even if almost half of them are either overexposed or underexposed...I select 6 photos that look good.

This is the view I was looking out of the window of my room when I lived in Zhengzhou. I thought it would be overexposed but turned out well.

The road down my window. Thousands of students lived there temporarily to attend art exams or study many subjects.

My friend Vivian Ko. She almost become my model.

My Mom.

The view ouside my room.

The basketball court under the balcony of my dorm.

I plan to learn how to develop the film on my own. I know it was hard...but really interesting.

[Drawing] Hope Of Pessimists

We cannot live without hope even though we're pessimists.
