Born of Frustration...

Are we all just born of frustration or born out of frustration? But we humans are just always frustrated... why?  Becos if we can't get things done right, we can get all frustrated!

Like this Little Angel here... it was a joy to make, but it was a pain to paint...  I honestly need to stop disliking painting colors and start enjoying it or i need a partner that loves to paint!  Ha...that'll be the day.

Lately i have been trying to get some mood into the colors.  Like this miniature living room business card holder, i tried to at least to add some mood in the colors as in a David Lynch film or tv-show would.   If you ever seen a David Lynch film, you will see that he uses dark doom red blue rich colors for his set designs.  Even though i'm not a big fan of his stories... it can really sick and freaky sometimes... but i do appreciate his experimental style and his way of directing the camera angles and movements!  He is truly a classic class wacky wack original artist!

Have been making a lot of toys, but again becos of my lack of joy for painting... i've only sculpting....

Here's just a few of them... now i realize why i have a few huge shoe boxes of unwanted or unfinished toy projects!!!  So that is a very stupid bad habit... sigh sigh sigh (-.-)

Well this is sort of my shop... if you look closely at it, it is actually a closet (and that is the space for my workshop on the side also).  I always believe from a child's point of view, that if we once as a child can image a cardboard box from a washing machine can be some imaginary house... then this little space being a closet can be a cool little toy shop.

You know... like those hole in the wall restaurants... if you ever stop by Rowland Heights in Los Angeles , CA.  There's this place on Colmia rd. (Hong Kong Plaza) that sells STINKY TOFU ... that  is a true "hole in wall" place that can sit people and serve people that might be as big as your bed room or maybe two of my closet...  And its perfect for Stinky Tofu!  haha... ahhahh Stinky Tofu!

What is stinky tofu... you might ask???   Well...stinky tofu is a Taiwanese style tofu that is fried and serve with chillie pepper with some pickled cabbages!!!  It is stinky, but it tastes awesome and you can down that with a cup of BoBa milk tea!!! ( i'm sure you know what Boba is right???)
