Got a chance to see Alexandra Bounxouei when she performed in Murfreesboro (Nashville), TN this past weekend. Seems like pages always have to mention it, but she’s Bulgarian/Lao, and is quite popular at the moment. She sings quite well, plays the violin, speaks alot of languages, and also stars in a Thai television show. And seeing how […]
The last piece for Brush Gallery. Don’t know the direction I want to take the final CG composition, but the drawing portion took too long to finish, or rather come to a stopping point. I started the heads before I got sick, it got left empty for awhile, and I spent all of today rendering the rest […]
Update: This drawing took an awful long time to color. I’m hoping that it looks okay when printed out in large format. The title is Dancers 2, but the subject matter features just a few costumes of the many different cultures in the small country of Laos. The second piece for Brush Gallery. Kinda lost my momentum when I got […]
Sorry for the lack of updates, still recovering from chickenpox, of all things…that and the usual stuff. This is a preview of one of the art pieces for a gallery in Lowell, MA.
What does it mean to be a Lao artist? I don’t know, but I did put some of my random Lao themed artwork in this portfolio: Like I’ve already expressed, growing up Lao in America, you get the best of both cultures. There’s the graceful dances, food, a second language, and the respect you […]
…………You know…………there’s more to me than drawings and photos of pretty girls………… I had a chance to finally view Jack Silberman’s very moving film on unexploded bombs in Laos. The film is called Bombies, and everyone should really check it out. What’s that information doing on my page, a journal that supposedly only focuses on my random […]
Hong Kong Association Dragon Boat Race and Festival September 8, 2007 | Olympic Venue, Clark’s Bridge, Lake Lanier It was another fun all day event at the boat race. I remember some of the past ones being rather tame, and to be honest, in the last few years, the increased Laotian participation has made it quite festive, with […]
Deme 2 | Pen and Ink / CG | 18×24″
White and black charcoal pencil on Canson Bisque paper, 20 x 25″. This style of drawing takes awhile, but it’s actually less time than my CG style or the other black and white charcoal drawings. The paper isn’t too expensive, and it has a nice texture and takes the medium well. Although this paper doesn’t allow me the range of […]
Royal Lao Classical Dancers Lao Cultural Dance Festival in Nashville, TN. The venue was this really nice Southern mansion near Opryland.
My drawings are on large paper, so I usually have to stitch the scans together and then I color it in sections, layer by layer. In this particular style and method, which I’ve been using for an awful long time, you can get by with almost any version of Photoshop. No need for the latest and […]
Royal Lao Classical Dancers at the 2nd International Conference on Lao Studies. Amazing dance performance from the RLCD all the way from Nashville, TN.
