• Waterfront park Day to night

  Wednesday, Nov 25, 2009 3:21AM / Standard Entry

  
  

  Waterfront park a beautiful park stated in Tai Po which is open the whole day except for the watch tower. The waterfront park is also a great location for cycling or jogging or just have a relaxing walk or a picnic. I went there to try and capture both the day and night on one day. To view the whole park from a high point there a watch tower which you can walk up and also people with an wheelchair can ride to the top.

  
  

  This park is not a creation from nature but is pure man made, as you can see with these flowers all arranged in rows of different colors.
  

  
  

  Hidden between all the man made nature there is also a foot massage root which would improve your bodies blood flow. However there have been allot of people walking bear foot on it, I won't cause you might get a nasty case of HK feet from it.
  

  
  

  However the waterfront park is probably only few places you might see some bird flying around freely.

  However the tower is even more spectacular at night with all the light lid up and changing colors each time. I should film it the next time.
  

  
  

  Through out the park are light so even in the dark it is looks very special. If I have time I would like to see if I could come up with something to try to film it there.
  

  
  

  At the moment I really love the transistion between day to night or otherway around cause of the street still lid by the lamps and the sky is not in total darkness and also not too bright, so you can easily find a setting to capture both instead having one to bright and other to dark. However the window opening of this time is very short so there is no slacking around.
  
  If you want to visit the waterfront park you could go to the Tai Po train station and either rider with the shuttle buses or either rent a bicycle to go there, however you could also walk but it is other side of town from the KCR.

• One night in Mong Kok/ the Ladies market

  Wednesday, Nov 25, 2009 1:40AM / Standard Entry

  
  

  This empty street with allot of taxi's parked on the side is actually the busy Ladies Market in Mong Kok after midnight. All the stands clear up and disappears in to thin air with all their fake products. I photograph this set because I wanted to photograph something different than all the tourist that visits Hong Kong. There have probably already been million photographs of the famous Ladies market of Mong Kok but all taken when the market is open and still there. I have not seen allot of people actually take picture when the market is gone.
  

  
  

  All that is left of the stands are these steel bars which every morning are used to rebuild the stands of the Ladies market.
  

  
  

  Here and there are sometimes a kind of Tee-Pee constructions made from steel frame works and fabrics of the stand folded inside them.
  

  
  

  Here and there you would find allot of old wires and cables hanging around but also fuseboxes which powers the Ladies market from the morning till night every day of the week.
  

  
  

  To view more picture of Mong Kok at night visit my Flickr set here.

• Perspective vector car

  Wednesday, Nov 4, 2009 5:10AM / Standard Entry

  
  

  First time I had to make a car from such an perspective but was pretty intersting to do. This was actually a small project where I had to make this illustration of a car draw with vectors. I pretty much learned that there are not really that much photo's or images of a bottom of cars. Luckly I have acces to press photo's of racing event and found few usefull pictures of the underside of those cards, but totally could not use them as back to draw the vector over. I basically only use the picture as reference and had to calculate or use my eye to get the shapes and sizes correct.
  

  
  

  Heres is a view of all the vector lines that was drawn that makes out the illustrations you could see the wheels and underside use allot of line to make them realistic as possible. Also all the shines are loose oval. Basically all the skills from making hundreds of logo's were used to make this car realistic as possible and also make it gloss realistic as possible. What is great to have a vector is that I can easily change the car color and also resize it to tremendous sizes without loosing details. This illustration is made for Spotz Media Group.

• Dai Fu Lou X Cotton Candy

  Tuesday, Oct 27, 2009 9:00PM / Standard Entry

  
  

  Dai Fu Lou x CottonCandy Plush!!! This plush is not for sale but is made to be printed on a tshirt, which will be showed on October 28th from 8pm @ Prologue on Cameron Rd 8, Tsim Tsa Tsui MTR exit B2.
  
  I have been experimenting around with learning how to sew stuff and actually done quite allot making different things. I actually wanted to learn sewing stuff for a quite while cause I thought there might be something in it, cause I have been using allot of materials making packagings but sewing fabriques I might find new kinds of packaging. However sewing stuff also help making fashion, but also toys like plushes.
  

  
  

  I am experimenting with plushes first cause these think often have difficult shapes which I can learn allot from. The matter of sewing things and how the fabrics reacts and bends and twist is quite interesting. However I still need to learn allot.

• Halloween poster concept

  Thursday, Oct 22, 2009 12:59AM / Standard Entry

  
  

  I am pretty pleased with this poster design showing all expects of halloween party while not portraying as a Horror movie poster or showing too much of a party animal. The poster had a kind of chiqueness to it so that the club or party does not looks like it was made by a cheap company but more on a profesional level.
  
  From a distant you when you look at the poster you would see a green glowing Halloween pumpkin but while you come close you would see all the details and illustrations that make up this pumpkin. The illustrations with in the pumpkin shows what the party is all about showing several famous characters of horror movies like Dracula or most used costumes like PB bunny or MJ, but also few party elements as the turntable and more.
  
  The background has a skull pattern which also give you an impression of that it is a wall or wallpaper and by addding blood stains the blood looks like it flew onto that wall. Giving a slight feel of horror, while overall view does not look like a horror movie.
  
  I actually drew all this, the whole poster in Illustrator, so it could be resize or edited in any way compared to Photoshop. However I did use some brushed to help me out putting the blood stains on the background. I only used special Halloween typeface for the title which is important to look special, but kept a clean and most clear readable type face for the rest, so everything is readable. And to keep the special prize and also the free make up kind hidden if you look at the poster far away it is bit hidden by the blood stains, while will be clear when you walk up closer to it.
  
  It frustates me a bit that the party organizer did not use my poster but gone for a very ugly design and I mean very ugly poster possible did by a student designer. Which lacks with graphics and compositions and design and might even be made by a non designer, but someone who just learned the program.
