 Sharing News  

Did someone somewhere missing me? Yes I was late for this news update. This March I was too busy. I calculated my taxes, replied my landlord’s renew letter, I drawed half of my new E project character. I met bank advisor for the money frozen period after my father’s death. I called Hydro-Quebec to switch account ownership from my father to my mother… And I even published a new text on my Chinese blog on March 21st. Believe me or not, I am still full time working during all this time! So I did not celebrate my birthday – rescheduled all to April. Wish me luck then!

Here is my web site:

Created since 2003, all picture links lost on 2016 and I relinked them manually one by one! On September 2018, the picture hoster Photobucket put its watermark on most of my pictures without my permission... like the war is continuing... All pictures relinked again on March 2020!

Diary Example (162)

December 2023

  The following article is part of my diary. I consider each text as a soul host of its writer. Hope you can know mine through my text.

 Sunny day(12/16/2023)  

    Believe me, the most precious thing is not that ring you see in <>. For me the sunlight has the most important value of this year. Because I can draw only in sunny condition. Today is one of those sunny Saturdays on year 2023 which I can count just using all my fingers. That is why I refused pay visit to hospital and cancelled my weekly shopping today (Only have one meal left in Fridge!). That is true that I was really tired and my legs were grown and leaking like they always do since this August. But I need to draw my E character or I will simply die today. Like all the good old days, after noon, I turned on my PC (Windows 7), watching the reference images on screen and listening music during my favorite drawing activity. I do not know other hand drawers, but since I am very sick, the medications occupied half of my desk. I draw my E project character using only other half. I am still on the draft step before coloring. So I can leave most of things on desk or I need to remove lots of stuffs for placing color pencils. According to the scanned images, the last modification of this character was made on July 30th 2023! 5 months passed, I got so many new ideas that I almost rebuilt the whole draft. Oh, my old scanner is dead as well! After 3 hours of happy hand drawing, I took a photo using that 12 years old digital camera. Just half done, and it will never be done if I am not keep trying!

    Please note a new Chinese text was published on my blog. One of those I consider of my master piece works. I recommend here, knowing Chinese or not, please read it even using translation software if necessary! The link of text is the following: http://zchenh.blogspot.com/2022/06/  

   If you can read Chinese, here is the link for my Chinese novel that I started to publish in personal blog since July 2020 and finished on December 2021. Please follow this up!

   Yes, I know the Windows 10 system says this link is not secure etc. That is simply because this address starts with http: and not https: -- another stuff you need to know how world was complicated by consumer rules. Why should I update it to https: ? Well, if you do not want to take any risk at all then you are simply not chosen to be my text reader. I am a creator who does not like forcing anyone.

   Here is one example of my E project character design, enjoy!
