Retrospective: 1998 University Notebook Sketches

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 14 Jul 2026 15:58:00 +0000

"It’s hard to believe that 19 years have passed. Today, as I revisit the very first post from when I started this blog back in 2007, looking at these 1998 college sketches that I found in a cardboard box out on the balcony... it brings back so many memories. Note: These two Van Gogh sketches were drawn during my university days and later became the covers of my notebooks." 一晃眼竟然已经过去 19 年了。今天重新翻出这篇 2007 年开创部落格时的第一篇文章，看着当年在凉台外纸箱里找回的 1998 年大专素描，感触良多。补充一下，这两幅梵谷的素描是我在念大学时画的，后来还成为了我笔记本的封面。 梵谷肖像（1）

"I discovered these two hand-drawn sketches in a cardboard box out on the balcony while cleaning my bedroom. Looking at them, my mood instantly brightened up. Every time I draw, I feel that every single line has its own vibrant vitality!" 这两张手绘画稿是我在打扫睡房时，

在凉台外的纸箱里发现的。

看着他们，心情阳光起来。

每次作画时，我感觉每一丝线条

都有他的活跃的生命力！

From 2011 Draft to 2026: Bringing My Flying Blue Sheep Design to Life

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 15:06:59 +0000

While digging through my Blogger drafts, I stumbled upon an unfinished post dated December 9, 2011. Looking at this vintage phone case design on my screen, memories from 15 years ago came rushing back.

Back then, I loved drawing simple, whimsical scenes full of innocent joy. This piece features a flock of blue sheep working together to fly among the clouds, while a silly little fox looks up from the ground in wonder.

This draft didn't even have a title. Originally, I intended to write a quick post to log this new product release on Society6 (judging by the design dimensions, it was tailored for the iPhone 4—talk about a blast from the past!). Instead, it ended up sitting in the draft box for 15 years.

Today in 2026, I’ve decided to finally bring it to light. While my old Society6 shop might be dormant, the joy carried by this design shouldn't remain locked away forever.

As the first step of Mr. Coffeebean's comeback, let’s start by rescuing this little blue bird that took 15 years to finally land!

It is also fun that I spent most of the time to think about unique character or illustration to be shown on variaty products at my Zazzle Shop.

As a little thought in my mind, this character I called The Tricky Mouse is a smart pet and evil in it. The glasses shows the shining power.
And I put some stripes on the hat and cloth to show like the prison in jail. Get it?
