BACK TO ONLINE MARKET!
| I am putting my things back to online market. Last fall, I didn't know how steep the economical down hill was going to be. I had an ambitious idea and pulled myself out of online art market in December, which I was doing very well at the time. As you know, things are not the same as before. Artists who were very active in selling art online dropped prices to the lowness that it appeared they were giving away their art for free, considering the prices buyers paid were merely making up the shipping fee and materials cost. So I was glad I was not in it. So I am back to online market again. This time prices are matched to those I used at outdoor art fairs and festivals I participated in the Bay Area and also the Seattle Exhibition. Just like before, I am using the service of my choice, "Boundless Gallery" for inventory and tran$action. I had looked at other options but didn't find any better system than Boundless Gallery. |
"MOMO" LOGO
I've been using the seal on my artwork as signature ever since I started
my art business. I do know that people love the design. Today I will tell
you a little about the logo. This Chinese character means 'Peach' (the
fruit, peach), and pronounces MOMO
in Japanese. In Chinese, however, it pronounces 'Tao.' The Chinese font
I am using is as old as 2210 year old. This ancient Chinese font was estimated
to have developed at around 200 B.C. or possibly older. Just like everything
else, the detail of design itself had evolved and there are countless
variations of it, but the design I picked up is close to the ancient one,
the type of font that are found in excavated historic stones. For your
information, the
cover of Japanese passport uses a variation of this font. If you can
read Japanese, learn more about it here.
Sorry there's no English translation.
The image at the very bottom is something I made for Kanpai Sushi, a Japanese restaurant in Palo Alto. The letter 'Kan' on the left and 'Pai' on the right. Kanpai means Cheers in Japanese.
