My moving boxes finally arrived on Monday. They were on their way from Beijing to London for almost 4 months. I have spent a couple of days now opening them and exploring and arranging the contents. It feels like Christmas though I am quite shocked about the amount of possessions I have. I thought I threw away a lot but now I notice I still have too much. The only things I have really missed have been my art supplies, kitchenware and some pieces of furniture...

Stretch
9 Month Stretch |
Back in London, nice to be drawing again! (And still don't know how to get rid of that stupid border around images, I think I set it as transparent already, why is it still there...??)

Busy busy busy. I have spent a couple of days in Helsinki to plan my exhibition that opens in January in Gallery Jangva. (Gorge is one of the paintings to be included.) Tomorrow will continue to Beijing to fetch my cat Nunu...

Janus Face
Janus Face, 75 x 45 cm, ink and Chinese watercolor on hand-made xuan paper, 2012 (553) |
This is one of the paintings I made just before leaving China. The painting itself is now somewhere between Beijing and London as well as most of my art supplies. I miss them, especially after I have seen how much those things cost in UK.

Mirror
This is my first contribution to Illustration Friday in more than 3 months! Moving from Beijing to London took a lot of time and energy but now I am finally more or less settled. Most of my art supplies are still on the way but I have my little sketch pad and little bottle of ink = enough to start doodling again.

Still in Dongzhimenei
Welcome to my new blog*! I am still in Beijing but in 2 weeks time I will be heading towards new adventures, so exciting...

*This is my 3rd sketch blog therefore number three in the title. The 1st one was a Flash site I started in 2004 (not online at the moment). The 2nd one covered last four years of my Beijing life (and should have been called Sasa's Sketchbook 2... :-P).
