* “All for One…” Members Exhibition Opens October 2nd, 7pm-late!

timtsun@gmail.com (Timothy Tsun (Timafli)) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 22:30:00 +0000

Hey guys:

If you are in town, please visit Works San Jose this Friday, I have a piece showing there. Friday (which is tomorrow) Oct. 2nd, at 7pm — Members Show, don't miss it if you like art.

Here is my piece called "Ready!!!" This is the piece I posted here on my blog earlier. This image is my interpretation from a movie called "Assembly." From the movie, soldiers are fought for their country and only one captain was survive in the war. The captain found his ways to gather all the names of the soldiers and put them in a honor as heroes. I don't like war, nobody does but each day we feel like living in a war zone. We are fighting each other in some sort of ways, even some time myself mentally fights inside. Why? I know the answer, do you!

Non-sense

timtsun@gmail.com (Timothy Tsun (Timafli)) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 23:47:00 +0000

Today it is a non-sense day. I don't know what I am doing here in the office. Designing ads and listening people's stuffs not related to me but I have to listen and pretended that I am not listening with my headphones on, thanks Apple-ipod touch. Anyway, my grandma had surgery today but I just know and cannot do anything about it. I cannot visit her today. This is the day I named as 'non-sense' just like the picture here looking / observing and don't know what else I should do. Things are passing and you cannot do anything about it.

Illustration about war

What is war given to people? Don't know. Few days ago, I read with interest of a book about movie posters in Hong Kong, I came across the Chinese movie called Assembly. I just got the movie and will give you a review after watching it.

Stress

timtsun@gmail.com (Timothy Tsun (Timafli)) — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 22:49:00 +0000

This is my journal. Recently, busy at work deadlines and homework for COIN 74A. Very drained. Just want to show that I am still working on my art. Getting inspired by Joseph Clement Coll's work, he is a genius.

my opinion of blogging

timtsun@gmail.com (Timothy Tsun (Timafli)) — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 21:59:00 +0000

Blog becomes important not only in our personal life but also in our business world. Before doing blog was just sharing thoughts and the way of expression. But now, it becomes one of our marketing, advertising and boosting business tools — every company has to have blog to show the company production schedule. I am a designer toy collector and subscribe few blogs from toy companies. I was reading one of the toys company in Hong Kong that it showed the toy's production schedule to let people who subscribe their news to get ready to pre-order their toy line. Some of the blogs are just linking different toy lines to attract viewers like this one.

On the other hand, blogging encourages people to expose their privacy and personal information (email address, phone number or even address) that may make them more vulnerable to crime, hackers for stealing our identities. Recently, I heard the news that people were addicted to Facebook and Twitter that they even told people (including some people they may not know) they were on vacation certain time, later on one of the subscribers got people broke in and rob their houses. I believe we should be more caution this day that people are taking advantage of those social networks and blogs for an illegal purposes. Have to be more caution this day when we are doing blogs. Technology not just makes us more convenient to be connected but also make us more vulnerable in some cases.

Besides, even though blogging is great way for communication, we should not use as an excuse of not having direct conversation to people we know. Blogging for me is a single channel of communicating without any interaction with others. We do not want to see in our next generation, people cannot communicate with others.

my blogging experience

timtsun@gmail.com (Timothy Tsun (Timafli)) — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 17:58:00 +0000

First of all, I like blogging because I can share some of my thought openly. Share my artwork and get feedbacks from different people from other countries that is very exciting. For me, it feels like a virtual gallery and showcase. I remember I was more actively on the site called Illustration Friday. I posted a icon of my art and linked back to my blog, see my other blog: timafli, then you see how it works. People commented my art from other countries because that website is international. Every time I published sometimes new at the blog and I would have an expectation that people will look at it and give me some of their thoughts — it is very rewarding, feel like people are there somewhere. Besides my blog, I can also visit some other blogs such as my favorite artists: Ashley Wood and Barron Storey; travel blog: MyKugelhopf that I can see different beautiful scenery that really feels like being there. In the COIN classs, I was being able to learn to use Google Reader to subscribe all blogs together and I can see their updates together at the same time which I think it is the best function they have in Google.

As loog as podcast, this is my first baby step to do it and first time to do it with Garageband. It is a great experience. Having fun by recording my own voice and put one of my favorite songs to the podcast — it is very cool. Still having to control the music fading in and fading out technique that will take me some time to experiment it. I haven't had many multimedia experience, so it is the one I need to explore more in the future. The next step I will take would be learning to do video and become a 'amature filmmaker.'

Story at the illustration: A journal of the day I ate a sub at Subway for $6 and staring the window from the cafeteria looking outside to the golf course near my company.

journal share

timtsun@gmail.com (Timothy Tsun (Timafli)) — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 22:04:00 +0000

Recently, I have been busy working on my friend's web site but I found some leisure time when I take break at Starbucks during lunchtime. More like observation exercise when I am doing journals because sometimes life is dry, means become routine and needs to find some inspirations within my boundary. This is one of my happiness in life. Real life experience struggles with Pollock's inspiration is the focus of this journal page. This journal was drawn on Moleskine Journal book with pen and ink in addition to Japanese brush pen brought it from Mai Do.

feedback of daily life

timtsun@gmail.com (Timothy Tsun (Timafli)) — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 17:59:00 +0000

Just finishing the deadlines, it becomes slow at work. So I can do some journals. Think about putting something new in this blog. Recently, I am reading a graphic novel called "The Mystery Play" from Grant Morrison, illustrated by Jon J Muth. I haven't finished it but Muth's watercolor art was shocking me the most, the storyline is interesting and dark. Have to finish it before I give you review.

This illustration is one of my goldfishes in the fish tank of my apartment. His name is "TIM" like my name. He is an active-swimmer, pretty in colors (red and silver) and food-carving all the time fish. This illustration was sold to one of my coworkers. Now it is hanging at her house. The real fish is in my apartment. I just found out his type is Ryukin Goldfish. Unfortunately, the other fish RIP this weekend, his name is "SUSHI," he is Ranchu Goldfish.
