Peter, Bjorn & John - Young Folks



This song is nothing but kickass!!! Stumbled upon the video on MTV Asia late one night and was totally blown away by the song.

What an infectious tune.

"Move So Far" by Brendan Monroe


I have just received the "Caretaker" painting by Brendan Monroe and I have admit: this is the best, most beautiful piece of artwork I have ever seen and owned in my life.
It is hard to describe but the colours, the texture, the visual and even the frame added up to one masterpiece of a painting that I absolutely love. Now I am such a big Monroe fan, I am on a hunt to own more of his artworks.
I managed to secure the above work "Move so Far" by Brendan. Even though in terms of visual impact, this piece is not as impressive as the "Caretaker", the title as well as the image of a little fella moving his tree home on his back brought a smile to my face.

Storm Clouds by Jeff Soto


This sucks. Jeff Soto's new show at Jonathan Levine Gallery is held at the same time as Blaine Fontana's show at Lineage gallery.
Unfortunately I have to decide between buying a painting from Fontana or saving it up for a Soto.
And I chose Fontana.
How I wish that I am rich and can afford "Land of the Free" (shown above) piece from Soto. Not only is it beautiful, now it is sold and I am regretting not buying it when I had the chance.
At least I saved US$4000 and bought a Fontana piece. Sigh...
