ive made 10 PSD files while i was developing this piece, capturing each significant milestones. may not be for everyone, but i will attempt at making an advanced-tutorial using this meterial in near future. (im in portland oregon right now, but i will be visiting Bayarea california for a week, next week. that will give me some free time while hangin out with my old folks. ill see ya soon MOM!!!! )



id like to dedicate these series to my very dear friend, Stacy. Aka JUJIKA, in spirit of celerbrating her health recovery.
i think the technical achievement in these recent semi-realistic approach was only possible by stacy being there to help me focus on our career together, and her recent absense help me to put together things we've learned together into a series of solid techniques.

the phrase " the angel's here to stay" fits so well for this situation. little sister stacy has been in bed for past couple of weeks, and some of us worried that she might be walking on such thin ice, but she was indeed strong, and choose to stay here with us. Your friend stacy is FINE. she is in recovery phase now, and she will be back in no time. she will continue to mesmerise you with her beautiful art. Our endeavor to share imaginations and visual expressions with you will have no expiration date.

pray for her quick recovery, will ya?
