"Obama - OK!"

This said to me today first thing with a thumbs-up and a high-five, from Ah-Moy: the wildest cleaning lady at Colour My World. She'll put a grin on your face every day, and was especially happy that Obama won.

"Hong Kong People" (as the local English-language newspaper refers to HK residents) have the bottom line on the mind more than most, but they DO know how to party! And there were parties aplenty last night, celebrating the USA's change in leadership.

But where was I? Hanging out at the atmospheric Philia Lounge for e.v.e.n.t's monthly Speak Up! showcase, to talk about my new book of blueprints and meet other artists/creatives in HK.

"After the festivities, it's time to get back to work" - a sentiment oft-quoted in newspapers about the president-elect's priorities.

And it's time for me to get back to work, too: press releases to be written, appointments to keep, framing to finalize, an international art festival to attend, final large images to print in coming weeks, travel arrangements to and from 6 countries...and a continental move before the end of the year.


More info on the book coming SOON - I mean in the next few days soon!
