Brief update

Here is the view from my dining room glass door. It's typical here in Vegas to see lots of palm trees.

Petroglyph has been great so far. I have been swamped at work and home. Lots of concept art to churn out for the new game. The people there are all bad ass at what they are doing, but nice and friendly too. I hope to show you the new work when it will get announce soon.

Well, I can't believe its almost Feb 2007! I am leaving in 2 weeks for Malaysia. There are many things going on this trip. Its my first Chinese New Year celebration at home since 1999. So you bet I am excited to go home and perhaps collect Ang Pow(red packet) for the last time. My wedding will fall on the last official day of CNY, on March 4th 2007. Then its our turn to give ang pow onwards.

Pan's Labyrinth

Here is a movie that is truly inspiring and awesome! This is truly a adult fairy tale at its very best, without any Hollywood taming!

The visual in this movie is detail enough to support the story without getting too distractive. Characters are believable, real and raw which is really difficult to achieve in a fairy tale settings. The monsters here are truly classic which will stay in your mind for a while. Plus there are many scenes that will makes you feel like you are stuck in a fantastical nightmare.

Go see this movie and give it all the support it deserves. Beware of some brutal graphic scenes.
