New Art Studio

November 2010 - my new art studio in Relau, Penang. 

With the setting up of this new studio, i decided to have a revamp of my blog too.
April 2011 - Launch of this blog as part of  my Internet presence with a new Gek Art web site at http://www.gekart.net/ .  While the web site is an online gallery of my finished works,  this blog covers my visits to art exhibitions,  my works in progress,  sources of my inspiration and my travels.
