This story is to be continued.
I'm not going to put any new drawings here until ...
Thank you so much for being with me sharing my experiences.
I'm not alone, I know.

This is a song by Cheer Chan. Hope you like it.



Lyrics:
Love the time being lonely,
shouldn’t like it too much though.
No matter whether I’m in tube stations or art galleries,
loneliness is like sleep feeding me.

While sinking by the wayside,
I need music to warm myself.
Love the time being lonely,
shouldn’t like it too much though.

Penny boxes the dummies for client.
My little ones, take care! Grow into real lovely Christmas cards!

London 251

Although this is just a little christmas card design job,
I'm nervous to present the idea to clients.
Sophie, Ian, Simon, Penny... help!

I believe that everyone is given certain talent.
Some may find a balance to fit in the society while
some may devote all his life to push the gift given.

The concept of " to be an all-rounded creative who can
handle all kinds of brands and styles!" has been instilled
into me since I've joined this industry.

I've been putting all my effort and time on
learning and overcoming what I'm not good at.
No matter how hard you worked, people kept pointing out your weaknesses.
Gradually, even yourself forget about what you like and what you are good at.

London 248

I understand something now!!

(in a wishper)
Rabbit: Westerner's polite remarks!
Gwen: I trust him!

London 246

Have to go!
Goodbye Michael!

*The phrase of the day

London 241

To leave is just a matter of time.
All I want to know is what Michael thinks of me.

London 242

These few words mean more than enough to me.

I immersed myself in the Yakult christmas world.
It gets dark by the time I leave office.
Someone is calling me from behind...

London 238

London 237

Even he can't help saying ...

Michael suggested me to think about how to
make those stickers to make sure it works.
This involves artwork, I'll try.

Review - Yakult Christmas Book

They like the Yakult Christmas tree decorations that I design.

London 235

Everytime when I use Illustrator,
I totally understand what is
'One's strength doesn't match one's ambitions'.
I feel that my hands aren't listening to me.

However, nothing can stop me from doing what I like most - to make book!

When I was at nursery school,
my teacher taught us to use empty Yakult bottles,
mung beans and colour paper to create 'art piece' in art lesson.
This 'art piece' became an instrument in music lesson.
I think Miss law ( I still remember her surname) was really creative!

When I was working for creative directors who just make judgement,
I felt angry that they didn't make much of a contribution,
especially when the workload was heavy.

When I was working for creative directors who do everything by themselves,
I felt useless and lost my self-esteem.

rabbit "Hard to please!"

CREATIVE DIRECTOR
(to create or to direct?)

Michael usually let us explore and work,
he gives comments and directions in review meetings.
Sometimes he would suggest some of his ideas casually,
anyone who are interested can execute or further develop those ideas.
I like to work for him!

If it's so easy to be through, Michael won't be Michael! W+K won't be W+K!

London 229

I've got some nice ideas eventually!!!

London 228

Just as expected, design job won't be a difficulty to Ian.
I've always been working at agencies, most of my 'designs'
are those so-called clever but impractical.
I've better to hide them!

London 227

Because of Yakult ( should be W+K ),
I discover that graphics can be quite lovely.

We are afraid to learn new stuff as we get older.
I don't like to feel old.
I have to work harder to overcome the changes in
languages ( from Chinese to English) and
softwares ( from Freehand to Illustrator ).

London 226

Waiting for research result, I ask Ian whether
there is any other job that I could help.
There is a Yakult Christmas card design job.
Ian tells me that he has done at least 100 Christmas cards so far in his career.

This guy's leg has gone numb as he has been squatting
for too long to read the pictures at the bottom.
After some exercises to stretch the leg muscles,
he comes back to finish the whole story.

I still think westerners are too generous to praise by words.
I'm truly touched with real actions,
say when someone is willing to pay for my work,
with an encouraging look , I feel a strong emotion!
