It was really really cool seeing the fireworks. While most people went down to the appointed locations, we chose a less noticeable spot, and it was perfect! We were a little far from the barges, but the view wasn't compromised a bit. I look forward to seeing next year's awesome fireworks.

Celebrating the 10th Edition of "Jacovmella" !

2009-06-27T20:03:00.011-04:00

Friends and fans, after a brief interlude, I proudly present the 10th edition in the series of "Jacovmella"!
Beat that! I hope you can get off.............................................a giant laugh!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Continued from "Jacovmella 9")
Jacovmella left the lawyer's office, steaming- "Who the hell does he think he is, telling me - to get a job!" she said to herself. As the days and weeks went by, Jacovmella continued to ignore the bills and bank notices piling up. Finally, the banks began to seize her property. Suddenly Jacovmella was left with nothing to live on. Jacovemella dropped to the floor, then thought that she could look to the kids to work to take care of her. Very quickly she realized her kids had their own plan and she was "on her own". Disappointed, Jacovmella was still determined not to work a day in her life. With this in mind, Jacovmella hatched a ingenious plan. To achieve the plan, Jacovmella needed cash, quick. She gathered what was left of her personal junk to sell at a yard sale and to the local pawn shop... (to be continued)

Outdoor Landscape

2009-06-16T09:16:00.004-04:00

We tried to paint as much as we can during our trip. Among the various tasks of outdoor landscape painting, the most important task would be : finding the "perfect spot": that is, far far away from any living creatures (but not cats). Since people are curious creatures by nature, and they can be quite bother to our little outdoor pleasure, we tend to stay away from them. Unfortunately, if people want to to find out about what you are doing they will do anything to accomplish that. You can try to warn them to mind their own business, block them or hide yourself, they would always come back again in ways thinking you don't see them... I am not sure exactly what they were looking for, if I were them I'd stay away in exchange for my dignity and pride.

"Maddama Butterfly" and "The Loyal One Continues"

2009-06-11T03:19:00.005-04:00

Beijing's National Center for the Performing Arts presents "Madama Butterfly" June 4-7.
The show was a bit of different, a bit of intense, but after all, it was a very modern version of "M B". The center had an amazing interior.

The Loyal One continues

So a lot of friends have been asking me what my summer plan looks like, and what am I going to be working on next. Well I've been jugging some ideas down for a series of paining experiments (large scale) called "Low Class Pam", it corresponds to my last series "High Class Pam". We will see how far I can go from here. Besides that, I hope to sketch a lot more and do more figure drawings, as well as landscaping in the city or somewhere..
P.S Dear Christine, thanks for being so supportive to my art, I really appreciate your time and support. I hope your family is doing well, and you have a lot to look forward to with three angelic children in arms.

CLASSY LADIES FROM CLASSY LIVES!

2009-06-09T02:54:00.004-04:00

It's time for another REALITY CHECK!

B.starr! B.starr seems to fit perfectly a person who stopped growing her prudentially intelligent brain for various
life experiences. She should also be the advocate for self-claimed perfect people who goes around blubbering about their colorful past while being the instigator of problems, but then, get offended by what people think of her. Everyone knows about her past, if she really is as perfect and classy as she claims, maybe she can spend some of her wealth to take a "behavioral/social etiquette " class instead of making a fool of herself. She is also a coward who just loves being a RACIST when she can't seem to find a flaw about a person to blame, but outraged at being called a "WHITE TRASH", despite her past and current life clearly revealing nothing but.
