More weapons for drawing. Some are really weapons. I don’t really know what their actual uses are.
These are supposed to be attachments or heads to my new pencil crossbow. It’s just like how electric power drills have many kinds of bits and grinders. All you need to do is to attach these heads to the tip of a pencil. I will have image of the crossbow soon. They each have names like Slayer, Side-Winder, Skeletor…
Another invention of mine will be a pencil sharpener that can sharpen four pencils at a time. Awesome!
I may also have eraser weapons. I discovered a kind of Sculpey clay that is for making erasers. I can have eraser sword, eraser axe and all kinds of crazy eraser stuff.
Yes, also coming up is the improved version of the charcoal gun, THE CHARCOAL CANNON. It’s so much easier to build, but fires only one round a time. But it’s one huge round. The ammo can even be a potato! All I need to do is compress air into a pipe, then release it quickly by turning a valve and it will fire off. Just like a primary school science project.

Hey, these are my works for the drawing show. It’s a Charcoal Machine Gun.
I supposedly made this gun that will make me seem like a maniac drawing and making marks on paper.
It’s not working too consistently, but I’m just happy it looks good now. I will have to find time to fix this work.
There will be an artist talk this Saturday. I’m looking forward to it.
By the way, Choon Lin and I are moving out of the Post-Museum studio. It’s been a year and I think we all have made 100% use of the space and built a decent portfolio. We will now have to prepare and hopefully join Kaifeng over at Glasgow next year.
I’ll be doing less real work from now, probably one or two simple shows if they come by.
I will definitely be putting in more time to churn out cutesy little prints and books. Just not think too much and really make nice looking stuff. That’s what I will do. I’m not going to bother with it’s meanings or whatever, just do it like a hobby and have fun.

Hey,
My exhibition with twin brother, Kaifeng, opened last Saturday.
It’s titled For Mr. and Mrs. Children and will be on till 21 September 2008 at the Post-Museum.
The exhibition is also a parallel event of SB2008.
There will be a catalogue for the show published with two articles from Wang Zineng and Clara Chow.
We will include gallery shots too.
It will be probably be ready on 12 September to coincide with a book launch of artist, Michael Lee, also taking place at the Post-Museum.
Thank you! Will post some images up here soon.

Hey, the work continues… and it’s looking pretty awesome.
There are maybe 7-8 kinds of obstacles in the course. Building this thing entirely DIY and it’s taking half my life away.
I’m leaving one or two obstacles for Kaifeng to work on. He’s maybe going to add a ring of fire, something dangerous.
The starting gate…
Wow…
(more…)

I’m building a new Long Kang with Kaifeng. I hope this one will turn out fun. It’s a race course with water and obstacles. Giving me a real headache.
The joints are pretty superb. I guess I really have a knack for building things.

I really miss the pizzas. Not all on the menu were to our tastes, we tried some which were really yucky, but we soon narrowed down to a couple which were the Caesar and Salmon pizzas. Really filling, we can have one for lunch, and pretty much have nothing until dinner. Taste really excellent. My sister had recommended to me about Bimbo Deluxe (she lived with her husband and son in Australia for a year), I must say that it’s good!
Kishan also recommended to us the Souvlaki, he called it the BEST FOOD IN THE WORLD. It is a kind of popular Greek fast food. A meat wrap with vegetables and a strong garlic sauce. We had our bites at Souvlaki King which was on Brunswick Street. It’s the best in Melbourne according to web sources. It’s around AU$8 for one, we had it only once because of our tight budget.
Even if it is not within the promotional times, prices are still economical and there are also some discounts.
My favourite Caesar Pizza!
Choon Lin’s favourite Salmon Pizza!

Choon Lin and I are back from Melbourne. We had an artist-residency at Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces. It’s really a nice experience to be there. The artspace is located on Gertrude Street between Brunswick and Smith Street in Fitzroy. They call the place, “The Arts and Fashion Precinct”, so you do see many artist-run initiatives (ARIs) and commercial galleries in the area. People are really well-dressed and in style.
Here are some photos from the trip. I should have posted them while I was there, little by little. Guess I was watching too much TV. We were watching many documentaries and worst-serial-killers kind of crime-shows on most evenings. We were really into it.
This was taken along Brunswick Street.
They sure know how to DIY and decorate their shops. One of the things we enjoyed looking.
This is Bimbo Deluxe. The cheapest pizzas in town, only from AU$4! We ate it a lot and it is really tasty too. Much better and cheaper than Canadian’s Pizza in Singapore. Love their BABY.
Manfax, a paint shop near the studio. High quality paints, but really expensive for us. Most materials are costly here, probably about 50% higher.
Anyway, Choon Lin collected many of such strange images, characters, mascots from these streets nearby and she made a really cool animation with them. All in less than two weeks. The animation will continue to be worked on in Singapore.
