The Samurai Cowboy + Yummy Panda Show

It's sunny and warm in Seattle today, a perfect day for PhinneyWood Artwalk! It's going to be a fun opening, I am ready.

Haiku Series at PhinneyWood Artwalk

It's PhinneyWood Artwalk this weekend, and I got some new work showing at Phinney Center Gallery! I'm calling it the Haiku Series - it's an attempt at reimagine Haiku by classic Japanese masters. Some preview below - opening reception is tomorrow from 6 to 9 pm, and I'm extremely fortunate to be sharing the gallery space with the super talented Enfu a.k.a. Samurai Cowboy - see you there!

Home Sweet Home

I finally return home to Taipei for a 3-week visit last October after being away for seven years - so much has changed, yet some familiar corners of the city remained the same - walking down side streets brought back so many memories... why did I stay away for so long?
