This is a drawing that I drawed in the class. There some alignment problem but I want to put it up anyway.

This is pencil drawn manga. This size is right but the proportion and alignment are not…

Well….continue to work on it….

This is an attempt to draw myself…plus..this time I did not using my Wacom pad. Just pencil and black pen to outline the drawing.

On the left, its a scribble using pencil. I thought it did not turn out that bad…so, why not..just put it up. The right is me…

On the right, I was trying to depict my mood for last week because the gas was leaking and we need to re-lay the new pipes. Then the washing machine broke….so…that why…..

So..that it…some improvement….felt happy…I did not give up on my manga lesson.

A first for me, the last couple days we felt there were gas coming out from the bathroom. We call Shell people to come over to check it out. Behold…confirm…there was a gas leak.

But…He does not know where is the leak. He knows it’s an internal pipe leaking gas. How to solve it? He can’t. All he can do is to disconnect the gas because it’s endangering other people on the building.

How the heck are we gonna talk our showers? It’s 15 celcius at night.

The bathroom….

The Shell dude…

He removed the meter…

This is the gadget to check out whether you have any leaks.

The Shell dude…calculating on the price to fix the whole thing….

So…this couples day…my morning shower is the very…very cold water. I can only arrange for their contractor to fix it next week if they are free.

Well…a first for me in Hong Kong…

The guests for the month were the founders of alivenotdead.com. Previously, they founded rottentomatoes.com and sold it for $10 million USD. It’s interesting to see and hear what they have to say. Not many dotcom companies survive beyond 2004. These guys not only survived but cash out in the end. It awesome by my account.

Part of the conversation was a lot of flash back on the rottentomatoes.com. After they got funded, the dot bomb came. They have to cut 21 staffs/friends to 14 then to 7. The agony and paind of asking your buddies to leave.

Patrick – co-founder of Alivenotdead.com

Now, alivenotdead.com – an online community for artists and fans. They have 12,000 artists from around the world in this community and I don’t remembered how many signup fans. It’s an interesting mesh up between artists and fans. They never disclosed whether they are making money or not but it’s does not matter to me.

Stephen – co-founder of alivenotdead.com

They were very candid talking about their adventure and we all know the journey is long and ardous. I felt…their current model will need a lot tweaking and adjusting in the years ahead. They have all the ingredients but somewhere,somehow it’s not clicking in bucks. I mean megabucks. I don’t know which dot is missing…somehow I felt some dots are missing…

The guy on the left is Michael Chan, Juju , Patrick Lee and Jen.

Anyway….it was interesting night. Web Wednesday is getting bigger and there is an entry fee of $100Hkd. An interesting observation came to me, when an audience pay money to an event, everyone somehow stayed very quiet during the guest and the host were conversing. No murmurs at the corner or far back at the bar. Damn interesting….

Do I mind pay the $100Hkd? Not at all. It’s a good thing. Napoleon put a lot of effort into his event.

P.S. Jen – Thks for the group pix correction. Appreciate it.
