Dear friends,

I have moved to wordpress.com

Here's my new blog.
http://lohang.wordpress.com

Imported all the posts from LJ to wordpress, but there are some broken parts, specially videos and slideshows are not working. I'm working on it. Been trying to post this for a couple of days, but Livejournal was not letting me in.



I'll be keeping this account alive to read your friends only posts and to interact with Livejournal community. (So please don't remove me from your FLIST ;)) But I won't be using this as my primary blog. I will try to mirror my posts here when LJ permits me to do so. At the moment it is impossible to navigate through the site.

Take care,
Lohan

Found this among my old drawings. Gave it a new birth certificate ;)

I am at work.

Flowers are back.

Yellows are chaotic.

Hello? Remember me? I'm Lohan :) Still alive! Once again I was too busy to sit down and update the blog. But still, lots of things to share.



A screenshot of the process of a book cover I did for a friend. This book was published about a month ago.

Writing this in a hurry before I leave for Kandy.

Sudden unexpected news about a death of someone who lived a short yet colorful and inspiring life.



Impermanence.

Chris Al-Aswad, ( altheabashar ) founder of the online arts journal Escape Into Life has passed away. He was 31.

He wrote extensively about art, literature and culture and inspired thousands of like-minded souls around the world. If you haven't visited Escape Into Life yet, you really should now. It's a gigantic effort, very informative and inspirational.

In addition to Escape Into Life, he blogged at The Blog of Innocense, wrote poetry and other forms of creative literature. Being a firm believer of the power of web 2.0 media he never hesitated to publish his creative work online, free for everyone's consumption.

His collection of poems, Purposeless Solitude is available here.

I really hope that the good work he started will continue. I will miss his gentle soul and "good mornings" from the other side of the planet.

Twitter users are posting tributes with the hashtag #TYCHRIS

Yes. Feeling productive after several weeks ;-)

And there's Asia Cup Cricket to watch later today. Not a coincidence. For some reason, watching more and more cricket and my painting process has some inexplicable connection.

And I am NOT a football fan.

So it continues...
