Can you believe it's already June? It's even more ridiculous when you think how 2013 is halfway over.
Maybe it's because I'm 25 but this year just feels pivotal. I feel like I've done a lot these last few months, or at least more than I have other years. But at the same time I also feel like I've done nothing at all, maybe because I've been sick and recovering at home without going out much it feels like my life has been put on hold. Or maybe because for the first time in a long time I'm enjoying my job so time is just gliding by.
Well anyway, here's what I've been up to this month.
This was a really exciting month, as you might have heard Art | Basel was in town for the first time ever. And the lovely couple
Paola and Ignacio of Tangram studio were organizing a pop-up shop during Basel and invited me to send over a few drawings to sell. These were the drawings I sent them. If you're ever interested in buying some originals of the drawings I make,
email me! They're really reasonably priced artworks that will make your home extra lovely, promise.
Speaking of Basel I went to the Vernissage night with my mom, thank you so much to my friend Venus for the ticket. Basel was really huge and international and felt very glamourous. How exciting to have such a world class art event in our fair port city. Wearing a secondhand DVF dress and my comfy new Sseko sandals.
I also made some sketches from the
streetstyle looks I saw during Art | Basel Vernissage night which were published by
TheWanderlister+.
My current favourite art supply store is
CN Square which is a 4 floor stationery Mecca on Nathan Rd., with one whole floor dedicated to art supplies. That trip I got some Chinese ink paper, watercolour, acrylic and other bits and bobs. Made this sketch when I got home, I think it looks rather like my idea of Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby book.
Finally set up a
Society 6 store, I'll be updating the store each week with new
ZigWisdom sketches as I make them. If you would like any iPhone cases, cards or prints please get them here, I would be ever grateful for your support.
Making birthday portraits, a few of my really good friends have birthday in May so I made them little portraits as gifts.
Here's another birthday portrait I did of my very wonderful friend Kaitlyn, she is much more beautiful in real life than my drawing here.
Getting back into yogurt making, we have a really
simple machine where you sprinkle in starter culture into your milk carton and then leave overnight. Here I'm having it with some blueberries and honey, nectar of the gods.
Another wonderful art event going on this month, the
M+ Inflation Sculpture Garden is ridiculously good. If you don't go you are missing out on some joyous, gigantic, international inflatable artworks. On until June 9, 2013, run!
Picked up this
Louise Fili book on British Modern graphic design and type. I'm such a huge fan of her work and of the Hong Kong Public Library. They actually bought in two
books I suggested and then emailed me to tell me,
Bad Girls Go Everywhere and
The Best of Everything, but someone took them both out before I had a chance to, rude.
Worked on a few new commissions this month! Super excited to share them with you in some new posts to come in the pipeline.
Eating onigiri, this delicious specimen was filled with salmon and made me feel like an anime character while I ate it.
Wearing hippie clothes, my new Sseko sandals and deadstock crochet bag while waiting to get my passport and then to the newly renovated
Kubrick Bookshop and Cafe. Beautifully curated books on art, literature, design all with the best book covers. Lots of amazing Hong Kong published books there as well.
Who says Hong Kong isn't creative! Thank you for a wonderful month of May universe. Happy half 2013 everyone!
