Did you wake up at 5AM too?

Isn’t he handsome with his gold braids and third sword (his horns are the other two!)? He had intended on charging another male, but I’m glad he decided to bow to his lady before their first dance.

This bear was fighting another but really he just wants to know that he’s good enough for his lady bear. He would like to go dancing with her! Fighting or dancing, crying or laughing, all the same they demand similar contractions and grace from our bodies.

I took a fencing class for a semester in university. In theory, sword fighting shares many customs with dancing- the footwork, assessing the reasonable reaction to your partner’s movement, determining who should lead, the perspiration and the strong emotions.

Damselfish are supposed to be ideal for a new aquarium,  as they produce good bacteria, are quite disease resistant and easily adapt to new watery worlds. They also come in various colours and patterns, as long as you like heart shaped tails.  They’re more like demoiselles, just young ladies ready for anything. Actually, they are aquarium compatible with a fish called “dragonet”.

I love dragons

And incompatible with clownfish.

He’s got the capacity to be all set for a grand journey to some bigger place.

Back from vacation!

Something very special happened on this vacation, and I’ll share it with you soon!

In the meantime, here is a warthog with beautiful long legs. When I was on Safari in East Africa, our guide told us that warthogs run with their tails up. This is advantageous for the piglets that need to follow their mama in long grassed fields, and also advantageous for lions, who are partial to warthog dinners.

Girls in ponytails, beware!

Have a safe day!

Hello jello, this is Christie from ChristieLau.com. I am not very good with updating my website (the last update was in May!), so I thought I could post work here more immediately (like, not 7 months later).

I just graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, and now I’m giving myself a few years to see if I can live the dream of being a professional artist. We’ll see, eh?

I am from Canada!

Happy Holidays!!!!
