smiling frog


A frog i draw for my sister's scientific introduction leaflet....
a smiling frog

recently i am addicted to the songs by the 'Symphony of science menu'
I really love the music, and I almost cried when i heard the lyrics.
they are so true, i really appreciate the way the scientists see our earth, appreciating life and nature.

a workshop in UK

It was a lovely week in the workshop,
I met Caroline leaf and Robert Bradbrook!
有一句說話看似很廢, 不過我很認同:
Life maybe has no meaning
but story should always has meaning

caroline 有一句話很值得自己反省:
"getting an idea is easy, it is building up and comprehence a complete story which is hard to do..." (somthing like that)
總之在這裡我學會了放棄某些idea, 令故事更加完整才是最重要
學習放棄也是一種勇氣

there are many different thing in Hong Kong animation and overseas animation,
the western story is quite straightforward, it is always simple and positive
while Hong kong animation has alot of hidden meaning, many metaphors, many ironic criticism.
It is a cultural thing, i guess.
in terms of talent, Hong kong people are actually at the same level with the westerner,
it is all about attitude: it is the positive attitude in the Westerners makes everything possible.
so why can't we do that?
