It was fun!<br /><br />I finally got around to developing the pictures last month. It's interesting to see what pictures you get months after you take them. It's like stepping back into a dream, but you're not really sure where you are and when you are. I have barely any recollection of where these photos are from, but I am pretty sure one of them was when I had lunch at CrackerBarrel.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TUBhHMiKVWI/AAAAAAAAAoo/9htxn0ItHKM/s1600/pincam_%2B0.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 272px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TUBhHMiKVWI/AAAAAAAAAoo/9htxn0ItHKM/s400/pincam_%2B0.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566555915681420642" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TUBhGumzZlI/AAAAAAAAAog/UnZI5s--_lY/s1600/pincam_%2B1.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 269px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TUBhGumzZlI/AAAAAAAAAog/UnZI5s--_lY/s400/pincam_%2B1.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566555907647825490" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TUBhF4dyCnI/AAAAAAAAAoY/QtfrpfV--Wg/s1600/pincam_%2B3.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TUBhF4dyCnI/AAAAAAAAAoY/QtfrpfV--Wg/s400/pincam_%2B3.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566555893114473074" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TUBgNdcl8HI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/PmXlPCepvhc/s1600/pincam_%2B5.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 271px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TUBgNdcl8HI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/PmXlPCepvhc/s400/pincam_%2B5.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566554923789054066" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TUBgMkz9VdI/AAAAAAAAAoI/AYwP4mWJnOY/s1600/pincam_%2B6.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 271px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TUBgMkz9VdI/AAAAAAAAAoI/AYwP4mWJnOY/s400/pincam_%2B6.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566554908586235346" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TUBgMMCAcTI/AAAAAAAAAoA/S-4wEcdU1gg/s1600/pincam_%2B9.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 270px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TUBgMMCAcTI/AAAAAAAAAoA/S-4wEcdU1gg/s400/pincam_%2B9.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566554901934272818" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TUBgLPZEWHI/AAAAAAAAAn4/AApKAOAeMPM/s1600/pincam_%2B10.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 269px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TUBgLPZEWHI/AAAAAAAAAn4/AApKAOAeMPM/s400/pincam_%2B10.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566554885656434802" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TUBgKTyDFwI/AAAAAAAAAnw/RBq2zLqr6Sw/s1600/pincam_%2B12.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 269px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TUBgKTyDFwI/AAAAAAAAAnw/RBq2zLqr6Sw/s400/pincam_%2B12.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566554869655082754" /></a><br />Anyway, interesting experiment.Connie Li Chanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02442950370929500900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765977860785470401.post-62332728974045051642011-01-15T13:48:00.000-08:002011-01-15T14:26:32.960-08:00Granny timeHey yall.<br /><br />It's been a lovely winter so far.

Inspired, I headed on over to my local Michael's Arts and Crafts to buy my very own pattern to begin. So excited I was, like a little girl buying a new toy! After nearly 4 months of train rides, I have completed "Two Wolves in Winter Landscape (Amidst Alien Invasion)."<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TOs7Szy1mOI/AAAAAAAAAmg/qrGRNt5UrRw/s1600/wolves_crossstich.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 292px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TOs7Szy1mOI/AAAAAAAAAmg/qrGRNt5UrRw/s400/wolves_crossstich.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5542588960736647394" /></a><br />Also.

So I will post on blog to feel better. What have I been up to in the last month?<br /><br />This is what's been going on at my work desk lately. Been making animal track/tree cards from paint chips and Timberland printed shoe wrappings. And tiny envelopes. Basically I'm just making useless things from the trash scattered all over the apartment. I started the envelopes earlier in the year and they were so fun to make. So now I'll make more!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TK5n81Om51I/AAAAAAAAAls/Vl9SIM1p1UM/s1600/CIMG2290.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TK5n81Om51I/AAAAAAAAAls/Vl9SIM1p1UM/s400/CIMG2290.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525468087608338258" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TK5n8nLSnLI/AAAAAAAAAlk/-aE0Uj31jVk/s1600/CIMG2291.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TK5n8nLSnLI/AAAAAAAAAlk/-aE0Uj31jVk/s400/CIMG2291.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525468083836329138" /></a><br />And the meager fruits of my tomato harvest!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TK5n9D1m8cI/AAAAAAAAAl0/ImOeskyb7aw/s1600/CIMG2288.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TK5n9D1m8cI/AAAAAAAAAl0/ImOeskyb7aw/s400/CIMG2288.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525468091530015170" /></a><br />In case you haven't seen, I helped <a href="http://www.stephenneary.blogspot.com">Stephen</a> out on a cartoon for NPR.

So simple in its design and form, yet capable of endless palatable possibilities. I never realized it before, but I probably eat tomatoes at least 4 times a week. You are what you eat? Then I'm a fat, red tomato.<br /><br />This year is the first time I've attempted to grow anything substantial on my own. During my childhood, my grandmother, an expert gardener, had a wonderful patch of vegetables in our backyard. She grew everything from winter squash to delicious chinese herbs. And of course she grew my fave! Tomatoes. They were big and fat and juicy and I ate them for summers.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TH8bJewLcmI/AAAAAAAAAk8/eDOoCAuENzc/s1600/CIMG2182.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TH8bJewLcmI/AAAAAAAAAk8/eDOoCAuENzc/s400/CIMG2182.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512154318612689506" /></a><br />So now as I sort of follow my grandmother's footsteps, my fire escape has transformed into a makeshift garden of tomato, rosemary, and pepper plants. They sit on the fourth story, surviving the worst conditions New York has to offer--everything from massive heat waves to the terrible 2nd Ave subway construction. Stumbling through the gardening process has been fun and insightful, but not without making some mistakes. Usually dumb ones. For example, do not sprinkle ALL 30 seeds from your packet into your one pot. One seed does indeed equal one plant, and that one plant WILL become over 5 feet tall and block out your entire bedroom window. Many seedlings were sacrificed in this lesson. <br /><br />I have 3 cherry tomato plants now. Two are flourishing outside and fruiting like mad. They are thick-stemmed and fuzzy, and smell like a tomato porno. The third is stuck inside my apartment and slowly dying from lack of sunny rays. It's been kept inside for months since it's too big to put outside, and it hasn't been receiving the proper sunlight. Sigh...I had high hopes for this big guy, but sometimes you try to reach for the stars and you just come crashing down. Lesson learned. Next summer: new plants, new plans.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TH8dBn_XYaI/AAAAAAAAAlc/sBIB2gPKlSw/s1600/CIMG2181.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TH8dBn_XYaI/AAAAAAAAAlc/sBIB2gPKlSw/s400/CIMG2181.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512156382676607394" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TH8bKfNdpEI/AAAAAAAAAlM/aHQqo_poXaw/s1600/CIMG2180.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VRJ2hdwYFaE/TH8bKfNdpEI/AAAAAAAAAlM/aHQqo_poXaw/s400/CIMG2180.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512154335915385922" /></a>Connie Li Chanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02442950370929500900noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765977860785470401.post-26144556468952002912010-08-30T08:20:00.000-07:002010-08-30T22:56:49.171-07:00Savor the moment (and watermelons)I went to the beach on Saturday. As I was sitting in the sand cross-stitching some wolves (this will surely be another post), I saw the sun setting down in the West and I thought, "Shit. That's beautiful." Savor the moment, everybody. The world is filled with them.<br /><br />Some tree studies from on the road (Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi) and watermelons. Two of my favorite things about summer.

Which is probably a good thing!<br /><br />Last few months have been wild--just finished up working on a claymation spot at work, been doing some drawings and things here and there, and just came back from a road trip to New Orleans.<br /><br />Some older drawings from back in June.

Maybe when I get better at Peeshop, I'll get more into illustrating digitally. Nothing beats doing it old school, though!<br /><br />Meanwhile, I've been watching a lot of David Attenborough stuff. Just finished The Life of Mammals, and now starting Life of Birds. I highly recommend everyone to check that shit out! It's instant play on Netflix.

Anyway, besides going apeshit over my sewing machine, I've been working more on my film (oh yeah...that) and trying to get it done by December. Also drawing some but not so much. Think I'm due for a sketchbook dump of some stuff from summer. Hope everybody had a merry Halloween!Connie Li Chanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02442950370929500900noreply@blogger.com3
