Sexy, isn't she?

LIFE

Finally finished the video. The clock striked 5am. Haha I think I'm crazy. The video is done but not perfect. I think there's still some bugs and minor errors around, due to my blurry eyes conditions. Any feedback is welcome
It's incredibly hard to squeeze 21 years of my life into 4 minutes of music, so if your face don't appear in the video, my deepest apology...
I hope you'll like it, my first time with vector Arts. The song is in Japanese
The file is a bit big (4MB) so it may take some time to load. Please be patient.

Life is like a boat

In order to promote my official website's intro coming up tomorrow, I thought I post here the old intro. This was done more than a year ago during Valentines Day and then was later used for my old official website. It was still raw, not so pretty type of Flash. I hope this will be a good comparision for you to mine this time, which is, again, coming tomorrow.
So look out!
And here, please enjoy "Life is like a boat" from Rie Fu. (It's a large file, so it may take some time to load. Patient please!)

(To prevent clash with current FLASH) I'll add a mute and pause button to all two later)

My company's website

Sorry for my long absence. It's not that I stopped designing. I never stop designing. It's just I'm working on a BIG project now (my own website). I've been working nonstop everynight after my official fulltime day work. Finished like about 30% of just the intro. I think will take a month or so for it to be published.
This Sunday, if there's no thunderstorm (I'm still keeping my finger crossed), Joe's gonna take me to New York City on his air plane. I will take a lot of arerial photography from the plane. So stay tune and pray hard that's there's no thunderstorm this Sunday.
For now, let enjoy a few designs that I've drafted for my company's new website. I hope my boss will like it and let one of it to be our official new look.
I'm dead broke now so if u have any design job, contact me yah :)

My NOISE Design entry

These are my 2 entries for the CD Cover Design. The CD is named "Sex in the City" with a collection of sensational songs (for couple to have sex with, I guess). I hope you like it. Sorta playful a little bit with these designs.

Cover 1: Secrets.
Look behind closed doors and beyond closed minds. Sex doesn't always mean lust and sin, it means intimacy and love sometimes. An eye watching over an embraced couple through a keyhole. It's sex in the city, it's the mixture between privacy and intimacy (the keyhole); secrets and curiosity (the watching eye) and pure sensational sex.

Cover 2: Come play with me
A playful cover with parts of the body, half revealing, half covered, a little inviting, a little mysterious. The lipstick traces written over the body is an invitation, a blod moves to the world of intimacy and sensations of sex. The belly button is replaced by the CD hole. Normally people will just avoid this whole and let it there. I want it to be a part of the design on purpose, like another game that u can play. (Think about when you have to take the CD out, you are putting ur finger through his belly) :) Enjoy

Tears of the Sun

This is my latest socalled Arts Work: "Tears of the Sun"
The painting is the split and dual between black and white. I tried my best to make it symmetric and look the same on both sides. The face is the Sun and the round thing below is the Earth. Black and white, right and wrong, light and darkness, it's life on earth, always complementing and oppositing each other. The sun rays are replaced by the the blood tears that are pouring down on earth, running through the surface and absorbing in. It's simple, two shades black and white and a color of blood, but I think it's has a very strong and disturbing impact.
July sure is the worst month of the year this year. Apart from my many personal accidents and agony (which I won't bore you with), the world also witnesses the War in the Middle east, tsunami, storms, hurricane, heat wave, and many other tragedies tearing off countries and lives.
It was among one of the cray things I did (Not the craiestm but still crazy). After work I packed my painting kit, went strait to school (Upenn), sat down on the grass, under a shadow of a tree and finished it in 3 hours.
The Sun's face loosely resembles Versace's logo because I sort of inspired by my own cheap fake Versace wallet. However, the idea of tears of the sun falling down to earth and the blood tear is mine, though.
Hope you like it and don't feel too depressed.
