It's 5:31am - I can't sleep because the heavy Taiwan rains and thunderstorms have made my pillows musty... and because I went out dancing in Kaohsiung last night and didn't get home till 6am. So! Here are some photos of me and Funky, to keep visitors occupied. Tomorrow we'll make and upload a video. Funky and I are both 'struggling' artists, so the chance to get out there, interact with the real world (of fine art and fashion design, respectively) and make some connections would be great for us. By experiencing our trip "Contemporary Art and Fashion in Taiwan" with us, you'll get an insider's view to Taiwanese culture: from the traditional arts of historic cultural centers like Tainan and Meinung (paper umbrella and lantern painting, early Taiwanese architecture, temples, antiques, wood carvings, jade statues, brush paintings) to the modern contemporary art movements of Taichung and Taipei, (fashion design, design styles and organizations, and Taiwanese painters), you get to experience Taiwanese culture through its forms of artistic expression.

Check back for updates, and go vote for our tour of Taiwan's traditional and modern art.
