Recent works




Somehow, didn't post my jobs in my blog before as They're too commercial for personal blog.

But my friends keep asking me, what kind of graphic design i work for?
So i decided to post some here. After did that...hum... i realize that my works are really not interesting at all...

Open our heart




When peeling off the old and dry onion skin,
tears come out because of the pungent smell.
When the fresh, white and pure skin appears,
when you taste it,
you will know how sweet it is.
Don't be afraid to try.
We need passion in our lives.

* to my friends whose suffer from depression.

They are back



他們回來了
足足相隔了十一年

這次的新專輯"3"在編曲方面"放大"了
朝多方向發展
machine gun仿傚機關槍聲強烈的重覆鼓聲
類似的重覆節奏亦表現在nylon smile, we carry on及plastic
也有deep water的淸新結他小品
延續以往的沁透酸澀的small
以前beth的主角地位往後退了
聲線融會進音樂當中
悽楚的聲音還在
只是弱化了以前Roads,over, sour times的那份苦澀
於是整體變得更風格化

Portishead is back! They didn't release album almost 11 years.
In their new album "3", they more focused on the music arrangement (somehow Beth was a leading role in the first two albums). However, Beth's voice is still quivering & soulful. The outcome is not as sad as the old songs like Roads, over, sour times but stronger characteristic.

今天要帶上什麼鬼?




別人眼中的人格分裂
事實相反地 他是出奇的專注
專注於運用自己的技能-
跟人們心中的"鬼"(別人真實的自我)打交道
配合自己的"案件重組"去破案
神探劉青雲的生活只有這些
打從重新接受查案後
一直陪伴身邊的林熙蕾(自己的鬼?幻想的(前)妻?)
己淪為花瓶

這種專注 極致後成了偏執
"鬼"看多了
整個人長年累月處於非虛非實的氛圍
性格都變得極端率性(不用修飾)而瘋狂

於是開場時進行了梵谷(Van Gogh)式割耳敬禮-
對沒有"鬼"的退休警師致敬

一直很喜歡專注的人
他們專注的時候都很漂亮
因為專注 久而久之成為歷練
通常他們都很有成就
而 這是我所沒有的
因為我做事是如此的不專注

聽說雙子座的人性格很兩面
那我心中的鬼應不只一隻
懶鬼 胆小鬼 暴躁鬼 憂鬱鬼 理性鬼 色鬼...
數數差點超出林家楝的七隻
有時他們會在內裡戰爭
別人口中的飄忽我想是因為這樣吧

那 今天打算帶上什麼鬼?

Thom Yorke in I've seen it all

去youtube找bjork MV看
聽聽喜歡的I've seen it all
哎呀 才發現男聲是Thom Yorke!
那帶著濃重鄉農莽夫聲線的男音
一直都以為是電影男主角的原聲
邊聽邊想: 不可能吧



再看看他現場利害的the clock演繹
在I've seen it all是給男主角上身了啦
聲線怎可能差這麼遠 :O

mobile art in hong kong



Basically, it's a good experience.

Impressed by the architecture of the museum, and impressed by the artworks of "the lifetime in the well", "the reflection of life" and "mirror room" (not the real titles, didn't write them down).

What i don't like is the guide in Cantonese, like the voice in a horror movie...

And so bad that I didn't write down my wish and hanged it on the wishing tree before I left.

純真與色欲



一連看了兩片電影,兩個南轅北轍的愛情故事:黑色美女與野獸式童話和冷酷現實兩性愛慾心計。

打從十八年前開畫時已想捧場的edward scissorhands,沒想到要到今時今日vcd大減價$19元正才在家中首影。相信Johnny Depp亦是最令我感動的野獸版本。他的缺憾亦同時為他帶來才華,從隱居古堡走到花花世界,將一己技能奉獻社會:園藝,髮型,冰雕,剪刀手加上藝術天分,一度惹來眾多獵奇目光。本來Winona Ryder對Johnny Depp心生畏懼,後來發展為感動於他的善良純愛。但樹大一定招風,怪胎一定招惹歧視;一次受騙受屈被迫回歸重隱古堡,下半生只能跟Winona談拍拉圖...
Johnny Depp不僅外型怪異,且濃重的黑色氣氛一開始便圍繞著他,跟色彩斑斕的社區徹頭徹尾就格格不入,開始不久似乎已能預視悲劇,傳統式美女與野獸大圑圓當然沒指望出現了,而湯圓也絕非Tim Burton的菜。

後來Closer把我由童話氛圍硬生生扯回現實的色欲都巿。而這個現實世界,早在五十年前的紅玫瑰與白玫瑰出現過,只是,現在加上秋海棠與冬海棠:兩男兩女的四方角力。張愛玲寫得很針血:“男人娶了紅玫瑰,久而久之,紅的變了牆上的一抺蚊子血,白的還是"床前明月光";娶了白玫瑰,白的便是衣服上沾的一粒飯黏子,紅的却是心口上一顆硃砂痣。“
Julia Roberts是內憸的白玫瑰,Natalie Portman是率性的紅玫瑰;Jude Law代表敏感的冬季,Clive Owen代表暴烈的夏季。於是,冬跟紅,夏跟白;夏跟紅,冬跟白;天氣跟心情一樣一直轉;而當中包括角力,心計,憐憫,愛惜,暴力,溫柔...而這,叫現世。
