Tida

The lines and specks of warm light lie along the skyline.

Between the veil of night, stars stay behind the clouds and flashes of lighting.

The city I grew up in, memories filled with tears.

The tall windows reflecting like the cinema screen overlaying the cityscape with my favorite scenery.

Replaying the silhouettes of us and smiles I always remember.

Season changing rustling just like the beats our heartstrings.

Even if it felt like decade has passed, it was only yesterday.

How long have I been learning how to live in the present day, when I only live in the past.

The distance lights across the horizon, brighter than the stars in the universe.

Echo of your voice and warmth of your touch still makes my heart flutter.

My fingers pressed against the cold touched window.

Heartbreak gently beating.

The daylight will soon fade this night mystery.

Longing dreams of you is the only way for me to get by.

I never learned how to say goodbye.

Hello everyone. I'm very sorry I've been absent for awhile. I hope you're doing well.

I hope you don’t mind I want to post a little diary instead of art work this time. Recently, I visited Chinatown Storytelling Centre in Vancouver. I hope that I can do more to support them as well. If anyone is nearby please check out the exhibition.

I’m very happy I found Anita Mui photo book album that was published from 1987 by chance in the old magazine store hidden in the area.

There were a lot of things happened for the past few months. I‘ve started tattooing as my alternate work to support my personal projects and living besides working on illustrations. Due to a personal situation beyond my control, I will no longer be at my previous studio. Unfortunately, I was made to not feel safe in my previous workplace and experienced microaggressions time after time including harassment and homophobia. It has been one of the most difficult and painful time for me. I decided to move to the another studio which is a wonderful place that is diverse and supportive of LGBTQ and BIPOC. I've also created a new profile that I can be myself and do the style that I've always wanted to do. I will dedicate this account to tattoo work specially Instagram @ windflowerink I really appreciate your support and understanding. Thank you for being who you are and being here for me. I’ll continue to do my best to draw and share illustration to support our community. I hope you will look forward to them as well. Please take care.
