Walked by the film location of the exterior apartment / goodbye scene from #PastLivesMovie. A block I’ve walked by so many times in the East Village: 50 East 1st Street between 2nd and 1st Avenue, NYC. Feel the bittersweet movie magic.

My hands are freezing from the cold outside. But at least I get to wear my nice leather gloves I got from Florence, Italy.

WAH FUNG NO. 1 FAST FOOD, Chinatown, NYC 1st time going to the extremely popular @wahfungno1 to try their juicy roasted chicken, pork & duck over gravy-soaked rice & cabbage. The line went down the block. It was delicious, cheap eats, & did not disappoint. Take Out/Cash Only #WahFungNo1 #chinatown

Great moments in book design, Marvel Comics edition.

I love a good croissant, especially an almond or pan au chocolate. But what’s this trend now to make every pastry based on a dry flaky croissant? I want my pastries to be creamy, luscious, flaky sure, and MOIST dammit.

Denim jacket weather in NYC last only for a week. It’s too thick for late summer and too thin for chilly autumn. Fleece is perfect. Light and insulated. With a hoodie windbreaker underneath. Although it lacks the stylish look of Levi’s

A guy stepped into my elevator in a beige coat, headband, sunglasses, full beard, tennis polo & carrying a tennis racket. Just as I was about to congratulate him on his spot on Richie Tenenbaum costume. I thought, Well, everyone knows the Royal Tenenbaum. What this guy presupposes is-maybe he wasn’t

I have a 4:00 dental appointment today. That means my whole day is shot waiting and thinking about getting to my dentist on time.

I watched Keri Russell’s Netflix show THE DIPLOMAT & I liked it enough but I wasn’t connecting with it. But the amazing Allison Janney playing the Vice President in the last 2 episodes of season 2 was electrifying. Acting, plot, characters way up. Excited to watch season 3

THAT CAR CHASE SCENE in PT ANDERSON’s #OneBattleAfterAnother is an immersive emotional cinematic feast. Riding low on an asphalt tidal wave propelled by Jonny Greenwood percussive score. I was teary-eyed from witnessing this on IMAX 70mm. Chase Infiniti commanded every scene

Sad to see that the only non-fancy Fusion neighborhood Cantonese Chinese restaurant that was run by the nicest guy ever since I’ve been here and all through the pandemic suddenly PERMANENTLY CLOSED. Times Change, Things End, and something not needed takes its place.

It’s humid as hell. Upstairs and down.

9/11 and Kavalier & Clay The day after 9/11, I was at home thinking that I would never set foot in NYC ever again. To get away from the news, I decided to distract myself & design the back cover of Kavalier & Clay. It was a joy getting lost in making it look like a vintage comic book Ad.

Swatching out #LiquitexBasics #Acrylic paints in my #Moleskine sketchbook. It’s inexpensive student grade paints, so there’s less pigments and more filler. The colors are thin, but I like that it gives me a familiar watercolor wash look. I can always add layers to build up opacity. #artsupplies
