Fruition

The past few days I have been in a transition between the chaotic pace of getting the studio ready for the art sale and opening this weekend, as well as writing the announcements for my newsletter fanbase. I decided to install a hanging system in the studio area, as well as finalized the makeup station. Tomorrow, I pick up a curtain for the changing area. Yeah, it was left to the end. The studios is now equipped with 2 macs, with one more on it's way, a projector and 3 studio flashes and 3 continuous lights. Everything seemed fine, except the studio floor started to crack in 3 different areas. Unsightly huge patches. I called in the contractor and he looked at it with complete awe. He said they had done numerous other jobs very similar to my condition and never had he seen anything like it. I could tell he was mystified by what went wrong, and was probably thinking that I would request for him to redo the entire studio floor. He said he'd bring in the main contractor to take a look. Regardless, the show must go and the studio will have it's official opening this coming Sunday. Artwork from my exhibition days at Meli-Melo and my previous Studio 8 in Sheung Wan will be on display, as well as artwork from my friend Neung in Thailand. A new friend and photographer will be some stuning photographs Chan Sai Ho, nature photographer extrordinaire. Seriously, his images are beautiful. I will have the opportunity to showcase some of his work on Sunday. I have attached one of his images to this blog. Landscape photography has never really been one of my strongest, so I'm very please to introduce his work at my studio. I hope you like Ho's image as shown here below. Maybe one day, I can get him to join up here on alivenotdead.com and be a featured artist.
