How to draw Transformers - Wizard Magazine
( 繁 | 简 )Sunday, Jul 5, 2009 1:03AM / Members only
Thanks to everyone who stopped by to wish a Happy Birthday - I can't believe I'm turning 34, then again - it's just a number! I still look frikken young and lovin it haha!
My previous blogger blog was about Transformers the movie and comic book covers but this time I wanted to share with you an article that Wizard Magazine put out in 2001 (thanks to Justin Edmund Millen from FaceBook who kindly sent this article to me).
This article was very meaningful to me because this is what launched my career in drawing robots and also helped us get the Transformers license back in 2002. I still haven't watched Transformers yet as we plan to watch it soon at Elements with the rumbling chairs! So if you are ever interested in how to draw robots - here is an interview with me and Wizard Magazine on how to draw robots - my own style and methods.

I remember when I was in grade 11, I got kicked out of religion class for drawing all the time, getting yelled at by teachers because I wasn't paying attention. My passion for art drove me outta school after I graduated and straight to being a proffesional at the age of 17. I remember my art teacher telling me who was a wonderful person and great mentor said to me."If you know what you want to do with your life, just follow your passion and your dream will follow.. So, why are you in school?."
When I was that young, I never knew exactly how I was going to get there or what exactly I was going to do - but looking back, I know I manifested my vision into reality by just the thought and the will power to do it. If you have the passion to do something know matter how difficult you may think it is - know that you can have it if you are passionate about what you want. Everytime someone is negative about where they want to be, they are sitting on the side bench waiting for someone else to grab that opportunity - believe me I've sat on that bench many times. Always believed in thinking positive, always believe you can achieve, always believe that you can maifest anything you desire. Jus believe it. I've seen people who drew stickmen to being a professional artist making over $60k usd a year doing art so I don't believe it when someone says "I don't know how to draw..." that they can't do it.
Well - thats all folks.
Wishing you all peace, love and enlightenment - and don't forget to stop by Rosanne Wong's page and wish her Happy Birthday as well!

Swamped...
Saturday, Jun 20, 2009 3:42AM / Members only
AnD Folks,
We just landed a few big projects which I hope one day we can show some of the artwork... - still working on comics and working on our final draft of our script. I'm also working on a new gallery as well and finally getting back to acrylics. I'm enjoying it and can only do it on my spare time - finally going back to my robot roots so I'm very excited. I'll be traveling quite heavily this next 2 months, Taiwan, Toronto, New York then back to Hong Kong, Japan then New Zealand... Should be fun as I haven't been back to New York for such a long time and looking forward to spending time with my family in Toronto. Hope all is well with everyone on AnD and continue with love passion and hard work in this economic crisis.
peace

Here are some neat pictures of my Transformers artwork tattooed on a guy's chest and arms. This guy has some serious ink work on him and actually like the color choices. -
Optimus x $2.00usd and Hirst Supreme Decks

I just love shopping in Hong Kong and all of the wonderful things you can find in small back alley toy shops. Check out this really cool Optimus Pri... Wait a second. That's not Optimus Prime that's a knock off! But a damn pretty good one if you ask me. It even has a unique colorway blue mouth plate and chech that out - it also has a blue matrix in his chest and hey look at that, they even threw my artwork on the packaging.
I also love how they added all the Japanese text in there - straight rip from the original packaging. Hmm nope - no Takara logo. A friend of mine sent me this DVD from Toronto with my artwork of Optimus Prime on it - Transformers Energon Episodes. One of my favorite TF pieces I've done in the past.

HK Art Event, Diamond Skulls and Skateboards
( 繁 | 简 )Wednesday, May 20, 2009 4:09PM / Members only
If you are into fine art you should really check out the HK Gallery event they have each year. This years event just passed and they had some really nice pieces there - From Takashi Murakami, Damien Hirst to legendary artists such as Van Goh - it's probably the closest you will get to some of these original pieces in HK except for a few galleries.
Here is a Damien Hirst Piece using a spin wheel to capture the effect. This piece is probably way up a few hundred thousand dollars if not more.
This is a Diamond Dust Damien Hirst print 1000 units each and was going for about $1,400usd. Have to say, it was well worth it. The diamonds dust was coated on top of the print giving a diamond look to the piece and stood about 9x11".
Here are a few of Damien's butterfly pieces. This piece was about 6 feet in height. Damien has his own butterfly farm in Mexico and breeds them there for his paintings. Don't worry - he doesn't breed humans to produce his painted skulls! :)
Here's a piece of Murakami. The original was very nicely done and if you look at the original up close, it's flawless. This one was sold for $500,000 usd.
Murakami original LV pattern on Canvas (Acrylic) Tightly executed.
I thought this piece was very interesting. The sculpting is very detailed, nice cast.
Just bought a new VisVim bag Visvim has some really nice pieces - very clean cut and simple. Fits the mac laptops perfectly.
Chris and I hard at work. Got lots of crazy things going on that we are developing together so stay tuned.
I just got these nicely executed Daft Punk Bear Bricks. Awesome packaging, the box was hugenormous. Solid product. Heh you can see my Jazz Transformer in the background @_@.
Back to skateboarding. Been a skater since I was 13 years old. Had the Lanz, Mark Gonzales, Vision Psycho Stick and my favorite - mini Caballero. I'm ancient haha I remember the Animal Chin days with Tony Hawk and the gang on VHS where we use to watch it over and over again.
Lately I've been working on our film project, client projects, my personal gallery and comics - will be heading to Japan pretty soon and looking forward to it.
Wish all of you continued success and peace be with you all.
Pat
