22. TreeHouse Heros and Forgotten Beast Book Review

Blog: Sugar Frosted Goodness (Login to Add to MyJacketFlap)
JacketFlap tags: Alina Chau, Add a tag

My publisher, Immedium send this new book review of TreeHouse Heros and Forgotten Beast!

Library Media Connection

Comic book editor, author, and teacher Amara has written a mystical tale. Chau's work in animation is evident in her uniquely designed color illustrations. In a land where rivers have dried and villagers are cutting old trees, the magical beast Zez finds herself in the care of the Treehouse Heroes, five equally magical beings and their Teacher. But when she is captured by the evil General Moon's bandits, they aren't sure that they can save her. With a little magic, some wit, and advice from their Teacher, the Treehouse Heroes are able to live up to their name. Once General Moon is defeated and the villagers are free, they learn that they must care for their land. Zez is free to search for an unspoiled wilderness that she can call home. Comic book and graphic novel fans will find this intricately detailed picture book of interest.

Joni Mitchell - A Case of You

8 x 10 inch, watercolor and gouache on paper

Dear all,

I would love to invite you to Party Mixtape Group Show, organize by Beehive Society.

Asterisk San Francisco

3156 24th St, San Francisco, California 94110

Reception party!!

Friday, Sep 19, 2014

6pm – 10pm

This is one of the most challenging paintings, I have to come up with. The way the show works, is each artist pick their favorite song and submit the song to the organizer. Then, Beehive Society will shuffle the song, and assign each artist with other's song selection. I get assign on Joni Mitchell's A Case of You. I am not familiar with both singer and the song ... it takes me quite a lot of head scratching to figure out how to interpret the song visually. Somehow, I can't "see" the song in a visually narrative form ... so I end up decision to approach it with a more abstract interpretation ... which is very different from my usual style.

It's a fun challenge!!

Many wonderful artists will be in the show.

Please come and join the fun!!

Happy day,

Alina
