hello my friend! rested and well. after the exhibition, went for a break in berlin/prague/vienna... cameback to tons of 'boring' work in the office. i've gone back to the studio and started messing around again. i found a cafe near our office who is willing to put up some of my works. :) and i see that you did not loose that daily habit of yours. i think i will need a weekend to catch up on your work. hahaha. so many! hey, maybe i can talk to the cafe owner and hang some of your pieces there (for sale). see, we/ i may get my wish to present your works here in singapore.... *oh, i'm excited now*
lemme just organise my thoughts. afew business travels in the next few weeks but after that... working on the art side. later...bye!

lol Elke it was me, I thought you needed a bit of exposing!!
Re making a book, I did one some time ago for the travelling journals project on here which you may remember - the book is called Many Lands, Many Hands which you can preview here: http://www.blurb.co.uk/books/1428133
I found blurb's bookmaking software pretty easy to use (although it did take up a lot of time LOL) - I know there are other options out there but that is the one I know about.

Thanks Danielle!Did you put me on the front page or was it Mary Helen?
Put me a bit into a shock really and i feel very weird to be exposed in the open!Now i actually plan to get the paintings collected in a book but i have no idea how to go about it.Maybe those photoalbums on internet aren't too expensive ,let me know if someone has an idea to share with me - et encore grand merci!!!

HERE ARE 2 LINKS to TWO of my youtube videos talking and demonstrating about this amazing product:

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
