AFRICA SAFARI CLUB STAMP COLLECTION 2013

These were the early stage of illustrations I created for my book: AFRICA SAFARI.
I designed a stamps collection out of my watercolor illustrations.

The reason why I tried this is that I met my friend Despina and Greg and their son James today. I found that James loves stickers. So that inspired me to create these art and make it stickers for James and all the children's who would read my upcoming book: AFRICA SAFARI. I used my end paper design. Just a thought and trying things so that I can figure it out.

Missed magic kingdom. :)

I was trying to use my unused paper. When I went through my loose papers, I found this drawing I made it Jan. 15. 2000. I wouldn't know if I didn't write it on drawing. :)

yup. I missed magic kingdom. It was one of those strange moment that people are worried about year 2000. Now people said end of world. :)... I am just saying.

Pagination for my children's book from 2006

After my Florida trip with Dalvero academy summer august 2012, I thought I had a Africa safari children's book idea. It was fresh and new for me. So I am working on the book right now. It will be out next year mid or late February. However, during the cleaning up my studio I found this pagination I did it year 2006. OMG, I was so surprised because I tried many different ways to make this book. Finally i decided it like a set design and at the last page of this pagination which is one of the most clear one, is what i did. For 6 years i had this idea funny? right?

Old drawings I found during cleaning up studio

It has been a long time I post anything in my place. I was cleaning my studio which took me more than a week and it is still not done. There were lots dusts and messes. I have too much stuff. So far I have a small plastic bag to through away. I should do better but it is really hard. Cleaning up studio is a big challenge. However, there's positive about this cleaning up. I found some drawings I made during DR trip that i went with Amy and mom. It is hard to do drawing with family trip. Still I tried and I hated them so I put them away within files of my old drawings. I find it and I like it now. I should not judge them. it was the first time I went on all inclusive vacation packages and first time seeing aqua bar. Also i went to guggenheim to see Picasso's black and white show on last sat. made me like black and white more right now ( it can change :D). I hope you enjoy them.

1st Drawing class.

Study 1

It has been an year or so I didnt Draw the model. I think the break was great because I really missed it. I had a great time last thursday and time was flying. I always love to draw but last year I felt like I was repeating myself. So I stopped. I did thumbnails... it was good to draw the model again. Exercising brain. I can see different things. I am looking forward next class.

Drawing is a fuel for an artist. I am rusted but it doesn't matter because I am studying and learning. After all, this is the first class :D

Inside of the Morgan: @ the belly of Morgan

all copyright silee 2012

I am so lucky to be experienced inside of the Morgan (at the belly of Morgan). It smelled so good ( like an old winery). live oaks soak in water and salt and colors ...it felt like Alice wonderland. I appreciated the mystic seaport for restoration of the Morgan authentic as possible. For our future generation to see how the wooden whaling ship looked like 100 years ago.:D

Red Wine?

I love these wood from the Morgan. I design wine label from this drawing. This pile of wood from the Morgan looks like well made old red wine with a little bit deep, dark and bitter taste the end. Don't you agree? :D
PS: Some know I love rose and now I also like Bloody mary. ;-)
