「陳煌越印」 巴林石，2.5cm x 2.5cm A seal for my calligraphy daughter @vietranaway I carved last fall. It incorporates a Han dynasty turtle motif with bird worm seal script. 刻給我書法學妹煌越的印章，應用漢印的烏龜形式，還有銅印式的鳥蟲篆。這棵巴林石，對我來說很特別，因為我只有這一顆，用它給這麼特別的朋友刻章，我就很開心☺️

Vincent, 2024 Oil on linen, 48in x 36in painted from life with @vincent_cy_chen This was the first painting of this scale I painted from life. I remember feeling so nervous in the 4 hours we spent sitting together over two days. It was the very beginning of my most recent body or work where i’m focusing on looking without taking photographs. the only material impression of the moment becomes bodily gesture. Thanks for sitting Vincent
