Melamine Factory Tour

On my recent trip to China to attend the Canton Fair in Guangzhou, we had the opportunity to visit a melamine factory in Shenzhen. To look at the photos and learn more about how melamine is made, please visit my Facebook Page.

This is the work of world renowned Botanical Artist Jenny Phillips.

I've been working on some new dragon artwork in time for next year. 2012 is the Year of the Dragon! This is the first time I've drawn dragons this year - they're quite tricky to design as you don't want them to be too scary.

The scales and initial sketch. The dragon looks like it has fake eyelashes on LOL!

I am loving these new limited edition prints from talented artist Eloise Renouf. I've been an admirer of Eloise's work for a while now as she used to do a range of beautiful greeting cards. Not sure if she is still doing them......All images copyright Eloise Renouf.

Random Googling

A bit of mindless fun. I was on the internet researching this morning and discovered that Google has colour selection criteria when researching images. Not sure how long they have had this but it's very clever. Here's some random screenshots:

Thai Airways

I bet you didn't know I was a bit of a plane geek - have been since childhood. Anyway, ways admired great design regardless of industry etc. One of my favourite airlines in terms of branding and how smart their planes look is Thai Airways. I've always thought their logo was so elegant and timeless.

I wonder if they got the inspiration from this?

One of my future project here in Chiang Mai will be collaborating with Chiang Mai Art on Paper Studio in Nimmanhaemin on some limited edition lithographs. The founder and artist extraordinaire Kitikong Tilokwattanotai is exceptionally talented and works with both local and international artists here in the workshop. It's such an inspiring place to visit.
