Girl and Boy Lino Cuts

Peter Chan (peterchan) — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 13:31:30 -0800

Sorry everyone, its been quite a while since I last updated. Going to be updating here again as often as I can. As I had talked about in one of my previous posts, I had been doing some new personal projects to explore some new mediums for mark making / image creation. Had some fun recently working with lino-cuts. I painted the background first and then did the print on top. These were for the 'Canzine' event at the Great Hall in Toronto, Canada. Each print is hand painted and printed. They are all unique and none are the same.

Sketches from the Subway

Peter Chan (peterchan) — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 12:53:44 -0800

Almost every sunday, I will go draw on the subway with a group of artists. Depending on how I feel, I use different paper or mediums. Sometimes i might feel like drawing finished drawings, and sometimes I just want to draw loose and experiment with new ways to draw. Here are some drawings from this past Sunday to loosen up, the beautiful thing about drawing with ink pens is you have to live with your mistakes. Accept them or start a new drawing. For those in Toronto, come out to draw this coming Sunday, we meet at Union Station at 3:30pm.

Longing Tree

Peter Chan (peterchan) — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 09:05:57 -0700

"Longing Tree" 11''x 17'' oil on wood Based on these lyrics: Dark clouds cast a shadow over our hearts I listen intently to the feelings that have long been silenced Distinct and clear Just like a beautiful landscape That can only be clearly seen in one's memories Can a heart that's been thoroughly wounded continue to love me? I tried hard to hold (your) cold hands The tenderness in the past Is locked in time All that's left are sadness that cannot be dispersed Longing is like maple leaves, slowly drifting down I light a candle to warm this year-end's autumn The aurora steals across the horizon The north wind flits across the face that's thinking of you Ashes from my burning heart falls like leaves But I can never regain (your) familiar face again Longing is like maple leaves, slowly drifting down Why must I try to recover all before winter arrives? My love for you transcends all time Two streams of tears that were shed for the autumn's end Let the love flood through I just want you by my side Snowflakes have already covered the ground Fearing that the maple leaves outside the window are already frozen
