I love this.... I really love it. A simple, unique style but with such complexity in the colours and tone. This evokes quite a fond memory of mine. Must have been around 2002, when I was 10 years old. We'd been to the wedding of a family friend, and the morning after we left the hotel, the grounds looked exactly like this. Dewy grass and a lovely sunrise. It was a great night, one that really reminds me of my childhood.
Thanks so much for sharing this, you would make a fantastic illustrator.

I'm so glad you could connect my work to a memory from your childhood! I like it when my work makes people smile and feel peaceful for just a little while!
I appreciate your feedback on my wok, thank you so much! Also, I apologize for the late response~!

Well you are great with Chinese cooking utensils.... (you might have to reread your post to get that terrible joke)
But seriously, I really like your stuff. You have mastered colour.
Where are you based?

WAIT. WAIT.
I don't get it!
Thanks so so much! I LOVE combining different colors and making them cooperate, aha! : D Your work is incredible, by the way!
I'm in the US, in good old (boring) PA. : D I see you're based in London! I've always wanted to visit there~

You said "I appreciate your feedback on my wok".... not funny, I know
Cool, do you live in Philadelphia? I've been through Philly on a train, looks like an interesting place.
Thanks for the compliment, you flatter me.
London is great, you should definitely visit if you get the chance. My joint favourite city in the world, along with NYC.

PFFFFF That's me! I am renowned for my ratio of typos to actual written content
Nope, I live in the suburbs about an hour from Philly : ) I'm actually going there this fall with friends to visit the market; they have all this great organic produce and imported loose leaf teas : D It's a pretty cool place
Absolutely, I plan on it someday! (NYC is one of my favorite places on earth! I was actually planning to go there for Fashion's Night Out a couple weeks ago, but semester just started, so it wouldn't have worked out XD They have all kinds of neat events like that going on all the time, though!

In NY I stayed in Nolita, which is a great area. Short tube ride to downtown, but has a lot of character in its own right. Good for clothes shopping, as is Soho.
Drop me a message if you're coming to London and I'll tell you all about the best places to visit.
What kind of music do you like by the way?
I love how you say your work is inspired by Ancient Chinese art.

Sounds fantastic! : D And Soho is fabulous! Lots of character, too! <3
Haha, will do! I don't plan on it for a few years, but I will appreciate tips from a native London-er!
Ohh, all sorts! I don't care for any particular genre, but I love My Morning Jacket, Fleet Foxes, Pinback, Frank Sinatra (: D) Yo Yo Ma, and lots of others. I tend to like a mix! How about you?
Mhhm! I LOVE old ink art from the far East!

A very happy birthday to you Kate.
Music? Recent artists I've liked have been Arcade Fire, Grimes and Best Coast, but I mainly listen to old stuff like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Patti Smith, Jimi Hendrix, right up to Blondie and Nirvana.

Oh man, some artists hate comparisons so I hope you don't take offense, but this is so to me, and he's a great artist so hopefully that's a great compliment! The linework, the colors, it's all so bold and eye-catching, yet still delicate, too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, I don't mind it when it's meant well!
Oh gosh that artist is just. BRILLIANT. : O That comparison is flattering, but I feel I've got along way to go until I was at his caliber
Thank you though!

I really really loved working on this! The setting and colors were left (mainly) to my inspiration, so I was able to really expand.
