Finally Spring Comes.

After a long, long winter, finally there comes spring. Only couple of days ago, it poured like there was a hole in the sky, but it is very sunny and warm today. Just like new spring.

Not many things happened since New Year. I did a full spread illustration for Spider Magazine at the beginning of New Year, made a trip to Seattle for a few days to meet up with my old friends from high school, and My roommate and I decided to move to another area of Brooklyn, which means next month would be quite hectic for us. Oh, I finally sent out the second promotion cards to art directors as well last month. I shall keep doing that every two months from now on. No more laziness!

One of my New Year's resolutions was to make art at least a piece per month, and it has been going good so far. I feel good about it since I was quite ashamed by the fact that I didn't create much at all since last summer. At the end of the last year, I just found that I did not have enough fresh works.

One more thing. It would have been one full year next month since I started working as a voluntary monitor at the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop, but I have decided next Saturday would be the last day for me. I decided after a careful consideration about my situation, but still feel a little sad about it. Working there was the only motivation I could get up early every Saturday morning for one year no matter how late I went to bed the night before.
*I made the sketch above last month while I was working there one Saturday morning. There are these cute plant pots along the office window of Tina, and they all have names. How cute! :-)

With good weather, happily sleeping cat next to me, thinking of moving to a new place, and changing of my schedule, they all make me feel like starting new. Feeling good.
