Publicity

I have organized some my art writing--reviews, interviews, reportage--into a separate blog here. The stuff I have posted so far covers my past work for China Daily (HK) and current work for Hong Kong Gallery Guide. The title of the blog, 'Some Summer They Drop Like Flys' is the name of a Dirty Three song. I chose this title because it was a scorching summer day when I started the blog. And the ideas--all this thinking and grinding away at art reviews--felt like they could drop and bury me if I stared any harder at the words.

More writing to come.

I will be adding links to artist/gallery web sites of my friends'. If you have one you'd like me to add, please contact me.

Filipino artist in Hong Kong Noel de Guzman now runs his own design and illustration business, aptly titled Artmazing. Check out the design blog here and his personal web site here.

I met Noel at an interview a couple years ago during the Philippines Arts Festival. He is known for his concentric circles/universes and painting with his fingers. There're a group of talented Filipino artists in my town and some of them are looking at starting a street art festival in my neighborhood. Looking forward to the news.
