Me senté a primera hora con la taza caliente de rigor a revisar mi correo y me voy encontrando un mensaje del equipo de arte de &lt;a href="http://orsai.bitacoras.com/"&gt;Orsai&lt;/a&gt;. Confieso que no tenía la más remota idea de qué se trataba y lo que leí en el mensaje era descabellado. Querían nada menos que ¡cuatro ilustraciones en tres días!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;This work week was looking like one of the best planned in a long time and I was feeling really good about it. But as I sat down with my morning brew to read my email, I found this strange new address appear next to one of the messages in my inbox. It came from the art team of a magazine named &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);" href="http://orsai.bitacoras.com/"&gt;Orsai&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;. At first I had no clue what I was in for and as I read on I felt this undertow at my feet: They needed 4 illustrations in 3 days!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sin embargo, había estado mascullando la idea de iniciar una carpeta para artículos de revista. Y son de esas coincidencias algo sospechosas que esta resultaba ser en efecto...una revista. Literaria para terminar de hacerla, y hermosísima.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y para rematar aun más, el texto es de &lt;a href="http://www.luischaves.com/"&gt;Luis Chaves&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;I tried not to panic and recalled that I had been nibbling at the idea of making a portfolio with editorial illustration for magazines. And here, out of the blue, a magazine that was requiring my services. A literary magazine at that and such a beautiful one!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To top it off, the text was by a much admired Costa Rican writer called &lt;a href="http://www.luischaves.com/"&gt;Luis Chaves&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Así que no me quedó de otra que aprovechar esta pepita de oro disfrazada de "palmada". He aquí parte de los resultados:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;So I was left with no alternative than to take on this golden opportunity disguised as insanity. Here is part of the results:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://orsai.bitacoras.com/2011/03/no-cerramos-la-persiana.php"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px;" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-CAgemWSliSU/TXpOQt80QuI/AAAAAAAAAro/V_uKbmdmPBg/s1600/chaves+orsai.jpeg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6283811605309408643-1911464078621059380?l=wenhsu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wenhsu.blogspot.com/feeds/1911464078621059380/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6283811605309408643&amp;postID=1911464078621059380' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6283811605309408643/posts/default/1911464078621059380'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6283811605309408643/posts/default/1911464078621059380'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wenhsu.blogspot.com/2011/03/oportunidades-de-urgencia-emergency.html' title='Oportunidades de urgencia - Emergency opportunities'/><author><name>Wen Hsu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09201954716679520787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SdQyuvE-7jI/AAAAAAAAKeQ/1NsEG3N9Eyw/S220/ava.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-CAgemWSliSU/TXpOQt80QuI/AAAAAAAAAro/V_uKbmdmPBg/s72-c/chaves+orsai.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283811605309408643.post-862700540626103983</id><published>2011-02-11T06:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-11T07:36:01.131-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Año Nuevo, trabajos nuevos - New Year, new jobs</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Hemos comenzado el año nuevos trabajos sorpresivamente diversos: dos juegos de ilustraciones en tinta para Llewellyn, un cuadro de mariposas pedido por una amiga como regalo para un mariposario recién inaugurado, el diseño de un par de tarjetas postales con temas costarricenses que serán impresos a mano por la serígrafa canadiense francesa/residente en Tamarindo, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="profileName ginormousProfileName fwb"&gt;Cynthia Deslauriers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;, la etiqueta para la cerveza inaugural de Cervecería Dinama llamada "Pacuare Pale Ale" &amp;amp; un nuevo libro para &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="http://www.katha.org/"&gt;Katha&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;, titulado "Cómo pesar a un elefante". ¡Así que andamos muy felizmente multiculturales!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Casi todo está en etapa de bocetos &amp;amp; estoy muy orgullosa de mí misma por mantener todo en orden hasta el momento. Todo ha sido claramente etiquetado, clasificado y guardado en alguna de mis dos carpetas de trabajo.

It was created for the "&lt;a href="http://www.labandasonoradeunapeliculaquejamasvasaver.com/"&gt;La Banda Sonora de la Película que Jamás vas a Ver&lt;/a&gt;" campaign, launched by the National Library of Costa Rica)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/S_x7husFvxI/AAAAAAAAMFA/4CwIK_68kbY/s1600/DSC03341.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/S_x7husFvxI/AAAAAAAAMFA/4CwIK_68kbY/s320/DSC03341.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475387066374536978" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/S_x7N81TawI/AAAAAAAAME4/D7iPe1MaF8s/s1600/DSC05062.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/S_x7N81TawI/AAAAAAAAME4/D7iPe1MaF8s/s320/DSC05062.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475386726573894402" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6283811605309408643-641942784531338098?l=wenhsu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wenhsu.blogspot.com/feeds/641942784531338098/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6283811605309408643&amp;postID=641942784531338098' title='2 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6283811605309408643/posts/default/641942784531338098'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6283811605309408643/posts/default/641942784531338098'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wenhsu.blogspot.com/2010/05/tentempie-snacktime.html' title='tentempié -  snacktime'/><author><name>Wen Hsu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09201954716679520787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SdQyuvE-7jI/AAAAAAAAKeQ/1NsEG3N9Eyw/S220/ava.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/S_x7szsP0qI/AAAAAAAAMFI/tKBBS05a9hQ/s72-c/lalocadegandocapeque.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283811605309408643.post-2758572971805103031</id><published>2010-05-17T10:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-17T11:47:40.609-07:00</updated><title type='text'>El libro para niños es una maratón - A children's book is a marathon</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;¡He terminado!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;I am done!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/S_GOdx9cxLI/AAAAAAAAMDg/GY9jCzxn3Ko/s1600/katha2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 309px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/S_GOdx9cxLI/AAAAAAAAMDg/GY9jCzxn3Ko/s320/katha2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472311664510289074" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Después de meses de intenso trabajo, incluídas revisiones, re-revisiones, dedos con callos y un desorden permanente de migajas y acuarelas (cosas que talvez no fuera sano combinar. Digo, por aquello del amarillo cadmio y el azul cobalto) en la mesa, logré finalmente terminar las ilustraciones para &lt;a href="http://katha.org/"&gt;Katha&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;After several months of intense work, which included many revisions, bruised fingertips and a permanent mess of crumbs and watercolors on my table (Now that I think of it, combining food and paints was probably not the healthiest ideas...I mean, considering cadmium yellow and cobalt blue), I was finally able to finish the illustrations for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://katha.org/"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Katha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Como había escrito antes, Katha es una organización sin fines de lucro de India, cuyo objetivo es mejorar la calidad de vida y el futuro de los niños en condiciones marginales, por medio de la lectura y la educación. El cuento budista que ilustré para ellos se llama "Por el Amor de un Gato" y está en pleno proceso de publicación!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;As I had mentioned before, Katha is a non profit organization which operates in India. Its main objective is to better the lives and future of children in marginal areas through education and reading habits. This Buddhist story I illustrated for them is called "For the Love of a Cat" and it is being layed out right now for its upcoming publication!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;~o~o~o~o~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Por otro lado, me atreví a lanzarme a la aventura de escribir una idea que me bailoteaba por la cabeza desde hace rato. ¿Han visto que la mayoría de los libros para bebés de animales tienen siempre los mismos? La vaca, la gallina, el ratón, el gato, el perro, el conejo y el osito.  ¡Con tanta variedad de animales alrededor nuestro!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;More good news: I have decided to jump into the adventure that is writing! This is an idea that has been fluttering around in my head for a while now. You know how animal books for toddlers usually include the same animals over and over? The cow, the hen, the mouse, cat, dog, rabbit and little bear. With so much cuddly biodiversity surrounding us&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;¡Así que he decidido escribir e ilustrar mi propio libro de animales de la selva costarricense!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;I have decided to write and illustrate my own book on rainforest animals of Costa Rica!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/S_GLIp-93WI/AAAAAAAAMDY/OfatBnCjzZw/s1600/frogspidercolor.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/S_GLIp-93WI/AAAAAAAAMDY/OfatBnCjzZw/s320/frogspidercolor.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472308003057032546" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Justo hoy termino la última pieza para completar la maqueta que he de enviar a diferentes editoriales, a ver si alguien pica. ¡Deséenme suerte!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;I will be finishing my last piece today to complete my book dummy.

Pasa como siempre que tengo que organizarme mejor, pero las buenas noticias es que me he ocupado en lo que más ansío hacer: libros para niños!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's been too long since I last made an update. I still have to learn how to manage my time better. But the good news is that I've been busy working on what I love best: Children's books!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Hace unos meses, recibí un mensaje de Valia Libenson, editora del maravilloso&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.grupo-amanuense.com/"&gt;Grupo Amanuense&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;una editorial guatemalteca con un fuerte compromiso social. Y he ilustrado para ellos un cuento escrito por Ricardo Cie, sobre un árbol que no quiso quedarse quieto. He aquí una pequeña muestra. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few months ago, I received a message from Valia Libenson, editor of the wonderful &lt;a href="http://www.grupo-amanuense.com/"&gt;Grupo Amanuense&lt;/a&gt;. This is a Guatemalan publisher with a strong social commitment. I illustrated a story written by Ricardo Cie for them, about a tree that wouldn't stay still. Here's a little taste.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SsF2gDpMZcI/AAAAAAAAL0k/y5dZ-1w6RnE/s1600-h/forblog.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 195px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SsF2gDpMZcI/AAAAAAAAL0k/y5dZ-1w6RnE/s320/forblog.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386716922417800642" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SsF4I-NrY6I/AAAAAAAAL00/XXZY5lDJoMk/s1600-h/forblog2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 195px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SsF4I-NrY6I/AAAAAAAAL00/XXZY5lDJoMk/s320/forblog2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386718724846478242" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Me he embarcado en otro libro junto con&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.katha.org/"&gt;Katha&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;una organización sin fines de lucro en India cuya misión es aliviar la pobreza por medio de la educación y la lectura de calidad para niños. El cuento llamado "Por el Amor de un Gato", es una historia budista sobre un artista y su gato. Por supuesto, estoy doblemente emocionada y agradezco la buena fortuna.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have also embarked on the creation of a book along with &lt;a href="http://www.katha.org/"&gt;Katha&lt;/a&gt;, a non profit organization in India. Katha's mission is to aleviate poverty through high quality education and reading for children. The book is titled "For the Love of a Cat" and its a Buddhist story about an artist and his cat. Needless to say I am doubly excited and thanking my stars.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6283811605309408643-4330099865445609967?l=wenhsu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wenhsu.blogspot.com/feeds/4330099865445609967/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6283811605309408643&amp;postID=4330099865445609967' title='2 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6283811605309408643/posts/default/4330099865445609967'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6283811605309408643/posts/default/4330099865445609967'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wenhsu.blogspot.com/2009/09/libros-por-venir-books-to-come.html' title='Libros por venir - Books to come'/><author><name>Wen Hsu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09201954716679520787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SdQyuvE-7jI/AAAAAAAAKeQ/1NsEG3N9Eyw/S220/ava.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SsF2gDpMZcI/AAAAAAAAL0k/y5dZ-1w6RnE/s72-c/forblog.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283811605309408643.post-2832911310990761519</id><published>2009-06-03T08:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-03T09:15:53.153-07:00</updated><title type='text'>It's all good - Solo bueno</title><content type='html'>A few weeks back, I was contacted by Aline Pereira from &lt;a href="http://www.papertigers.org/"&gt;Paper Tigers&lt;/a&gt;, who told me that they were working on a new feature on children's book awards and wanted to interview me for it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Hace algunas semanas, fui contactada por Aline Pereira de &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.papertigers.org/"&gt;Paper Tigers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;, quien me comunicó que estaban redactando un artículo sobre premios de libros infantiles para la cual querían hacerme una entrevista!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Needless to say I was very happily surprised.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Por supuesto que fue una feliz sorpresa para mi. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was interviewed by Marjorie Coughlan, associate editor in the UK, who is very kind and pleasing to exchange emails with.

I did not sleep the entire night before (and slept little the previous few nights) and was a nervous wreck, can you tell?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Esa soy yo sentada frente a 150 personas durante el Simposio del ACCU. No había dormido nada la noche anterior (y muy poco las noches anteriores as esta) y estaba hecha un saco de nervios. ¿se nota?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, it was a very rewarding experience and of course, I learned a whole lot. I felt like such a novice speaking next to Karina Bolasco from Philippines, Alaeldin Elgizouli Naeim from Sudan (the winner of the Second Place), Tajima Yukihiko and Tanaka Naoto from Japan. I also met a good deal of wonderful people, like Takeshi Matsumoto for example, who is the founder of the &lt;a href="http://www.chihiro.jp/global/"&gt;Chihiro Art Museums&lt;/a&gt; in Tokyo and Azumino. Their collection of children's books illustrations of about 12000 pieces by 168 artists from 28 countries. And the best news is, Mr. Matsumoto is interested in buying something from me! So I sent in a catalog of my pieces and am keeping my fingers crossed for now. With any luck, I'll be the first Costa Rican illustrator to be in his collection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;De todas formas, fue una experiencia muy provechosa y aprendí miles. Me sentí tan novata hablando a la par de Karina Bolasco de Filipinas, Alaeldin Elgizouli Naeim de Sudán (el ganador del Segundo Lugar),  Tajima Yukihiko y Tanaka Naoto de Japón. También conocí a tanta gente que me recibieron maravillosamente, como por ejemplo Takeshi Matsumoto, quien es el fundador de los &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);" href="http://www.chihiro.jp/global/"&gt;Museos de Arte Chihiro&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt; en Tokyo y Azumino. Su colección de ilustraciones de libros para niños comprende unas 12000 piezas hechas por 128 artistas de 28 países. Lo mejor de todo es que el Sr. Matsumoto está interesado en adquirir algo del trabajo mío! Así que le envíe un catálogo de mis piezas y mantengo los dedos cruzados.

The paper, video and photos for my presentation are done, and now I just have to figure out what I am going to say for ten minutes. You can see the video here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;He estado bastante ocupada preparando material para el simposio de ACCU - NOMA, y he de admitir que estoy más nerviosa de lo que me creía capaz. El artículo, el video y las fotos ya están listas y lo único que queda es ver qué voy a decir por diez minutos seguidos.

It is a children's book done for Pachanga Kids. My contact is Yazmin Ross, a Mexican journalist and writer who has already published several books here in Costa Rica. This book will be about the birth of a green turtle in Tortuguero National Park, based on a story written by Rodolfo Dada, a Costa Rican writer and poet. We are still figuring out the pacing between pages, but I wanted to post a couple of -very- early sketches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Finalmente, estoy muy emocionada de un nuevo proyecto. Es un libro de para niños que será publicado por Pachanga Kids, cuyo contacto es Yazmin Ross, quien es una reportera y escritora mexicana que ya ha publicado varios libros en Costa Rica. El libro será sobre el nacimiento de una tortuguita verde en el Parque Nacional Tortuguero y estamos todavía tratando de armar la maqueta del librito.

I just remember many gifts, sunny days at the river and too much good food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;El fin de año vino y se fue, y francamente no me acuerdo de mucho más que muchos regalos, días soleados en el río y demasiada buena comida.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I'm back to work and pretty happy about it. Still inking Sebastian pen&amp;amp;inks and preparing material to take to the NOMA symposium to which, I have been invited! I get to go to Tokyo for a few days (much too few I'm afraid) to participate in the exhibition opening and a symposium about children's books.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Ahora estoy de vuelta al trabajo y bastante feliz por eso. Todavía estoy entintando las ilustraciones de Sebastian y preparando material para llevar al simposio de NOMA, al cual estoy invitada! Así que iré a Tokio por unos pocos días (demasiados pocos días) a participar en la inauguración de la exhibición y un simposio sobre libros para niños.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am to write a short paper on the current situation of children's books in Costa Rica, take photos and make a short, short video. For this last part, I have recruited the help of my two brothers-in-law for the music part of it. It's going to be fun! But I need to have it all done and sent out before the end of January....so, have to get back to work for now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Tengo la tarea de escribir un ensayo corto sobre la situación actual de libros para niños en Costa Rica, tomar fotografías y hacer un video cortititico. Para esta última parte he recrutado dos de mis cuñados para que compogan la música, así que va a estar divertido!  Lo único es que tengo que entregarlo antes del final de enero....así que, manos a la obra!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah and a little interesting note, the word symposium comes from the Greek verb &lt;i&gt;sympotein &lt;/i&gt;which means "to drink together"&lt;span&gt;, since that's exactly what it was originally, a drinking party!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah y una nota interesante, la palabra simposio viene del griego&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt; sympotein&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;, que significa "beber juntos", ya que aparentemente esto es lo que originalmente era, una fiesta para tomar!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/99/Symposiumnorthwall.jpg/800px-Symposiumnorthwall.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;

Their plan is to make a limited hand printed &amp;amp; hand bound edition of a children's book for adults. It's a story of the 16 lives (and deaths) of Sebastian, one spread for each life, and this is where I come in: I will be making the illustrations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Uno de mis mejores amigos me refirió a un amigo suyo de la universidad de Brown, quien es un escritor colaborando con una grabadora (mujer que hace grabados, no el aparato audio) para este proyecto. El plan suyo es crear un tiraje limitado de un libro de niños para adultos, impresos y encuadernados a mano. El libro está conformado por las historias de las 16 vidas (y muertes) de Sebastian, una ilustración de dos páginas por cada vida o muerte.

Ya las envié y he recibido una nota departe de la gente NOMA de que ya los recibieron, sanos &amp;amp; salvos!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got invaluable help from Mani Güeuigdinapi, who referred me to Kuna lore, art and stories. The story that came up was named Nadi &amp;amp; Xiao Lan, two girls, one Kuna and one Chinese, best friends who live and go to school in mainland Panamá. One day they go back to Kuna Yala to visit Nadi's grandmother and embark in the great adventure of witnessing Kuna celebrations, hearing Kuna stories and cooking Kuna food. In the end, Xiao Lan's father decides to share a little bit of the Chinese culture with the Kuna children by telling the story of Chang'Er, her white hare and their flight to the moon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Recibí la ayuda invaluable de Mani Güeuigdinapi, quien me refirió a la cultura Kuna, su arte y sus historias. El cuento que surgió entonces se llamó Nadi &amp;amp; Xiao Lan, dos niñas que son mejores amigas, la una kuna y la otra china, que viven y van juntas a la escuela en Panamá. Un día toman rumbo a Kuna Yala a visitar la abuelita de Nadi y se embarcan en una gran aventura. Vieron celebraciones kuna, escucharon historias kuna y cocinaron comida kuna. Al final del cuento, el padre de Xiao Lan decide compartir un poquito de la cultura china con los niños kuna contándoles la histora de Chang'Er, su conejo blanco y su escape a la luna.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now without further adew, here's the art:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Sin más, he aquí el arte:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SNupHbuW3MI/AAAAAAAAHdc/ESMS-A2eRnU/s1600-h/nomamola1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SNupHbuW3MI/AAAAAAAAHdc/ESMS-A2eRnU/s320/nomamola1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249975735796817090" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SNuqKWR1N5I/AAAAAAAAHdk/JDqHBbcqKIE/s1600-h/nomamolaarbol.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SNuqKWR1N5I/AAAAAAAAHdk/JDqHBbcqKIE/s320/nomamolaarbol.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249976885386229650" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SNuqK2k7VuI/AAAAAAAAHds/1FvNabXlbHM/s1600-h/nomacloser3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SNuqK2k7VuI/AAAAAAAAHds/1FvNabXlbHM/s320/nomacloser3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249976894056257250" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6283811605309408643-2480562419233823146?l=wenhsu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wenhsu.blogspot.com/feeds/2480562419233823146/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6283811605309408643&amp;postID=2480562419233823146' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6283811605309408643/posts/default/2480562419233823146'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6283811605309408643/posts/default/2480562419233823146'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wenhsu.blogspot.com/2008/09/noma-happiness.html' title='NOMA happiness!/Felicidad NOMA!'/><author><name>Wen Hsu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09201954716679520787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SdQyuvE-7jI/AAAAAAAAKeQ/1NsEG3N9Eyw/S220/ava.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SNupHbuW3MI/AAAAAAAAHdc/ESMS-A2eRnU/s72-c/nomamola1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283811605309408643.post-3492840843689015807</id><published>2008-06-17T16:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-08T17:36:45.116-08:00</updated><title type='text'>en paralelo</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SFhPJQoNspI/AAAAAAAAHU0/1aekVs9rgdg/s1600-h/blogsketchempowerment.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SFhPJQoNspI/AAAAAAAAHU0/1aekVs9rgdg/s320/blogsketchempowerment.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213003589182403218" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's been a good couple of weeks I daresay...three projects going on at once, albeit one is a tiny watercolor commision and the other is "selfemployment", but are still very exciting, all three of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Me atrevo a decir que han pasado un par de buenas semanas....tres proyectos al mismo tiempo, aunque uno es la comisión de una mini acuarela y la otra es "auto empleo", pero bueno, los tres son igual de emocionantes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Llewellyn job is a series of six black and white illustrations. I love doing these, since Pen and Ink is one of my favorite techniques (which I learned from a great prof. a few years ago back in school) and women is one of my favorite subjects. It's on sketch phase at the moment, moving on from thumbnails to 1:1 scale sketches that is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;El trabajo para Llewellyn es una serie de ilustraciones en blanco y negro. Me encanta hacerlas, ya que la tinta china es una de mis técnicas favoritas (aprendí de un gran profesor hace unos años en la U) y uno de mis temas favoritos para ilustrar es la mujer. Ahorita está en la fase de bocetos, pasando de miniaturas a bocetos escala 1 a 1.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the watercolor, it's a small portrait of two abyssinian cats, which a couple of friends want to give as a wedding gift to another couple of friends who live in Norway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;En cuanto a la acuarela, es un pequeño retrato de dos gatos abisinios, que una pareja de amigos quiere dar como regalo de bodas a otra pareja de amigos noruegos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now on to cutting more paper for my NOMA cutouts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Ahora, a seguir cortando papel para NOMA.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6283811605309408643-3492840843689015807?l=wenhsu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wenhsu.blogspot.com/feeds/3492840843689015807/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6283811605309408643&amp;postID=3492840843689015807' title='1 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6283811605309408643/posts/default/3492840843689015807'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6283811605309408643/posts/default/3492840843689015807'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wenhsu.blogspot.com/2008/06/en-paralelo.html' title='en paralelo'/><author><name>Wen Hsu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09201954716679520787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SdQyuvE-7jI/AAAAAAAAKeQ/1NsEG3N9Eyw/S220/ava.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SFhPJQoNspI/AAAAAAAAHU0/1aekVs9rgdg/s72-c/blogsketchempowerment.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283811605309408643.post-6414332004572680828</id><published>2008-06-06T12:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-08T17:36:45.433-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SEmZlcjUc2I/AAAAAAAAHHU/e1DwSSOVaMU/s1600-h/blog1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SEmZlcjUc2I/AAAAAAAAHHU/e1DwSSOVaMU/s320/blog1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208863312629232482" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got a happy email today about another illustration job with Llewellyn (&lt;a href="http://www.llewellyn.com/bookstore/book.php?pn=H353"&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt; is the first one I did for them at the beginning of the year) and with a little bit of good luck, I will hopefully be doing drawing pen and ink goddesses in a few days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Recibí un correo feliz departe de Llewellyn solicitándome otro trabajo de ilustración (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);" href="http://www.llewellyn.com/bookstore/book.php?pn=H353"&gt;Aquí&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt; está el primer trabajo que hice para ellos a principio de año) y con un poco de buena suerte, estaré ojalá en unos días haciendo dibujos en tinta de diosas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now to match the exciting news, I have a very exciting and very unfinished papercut on the table. It's my second illustration of five I mean to enter to the &lt;a href="http://www.accu.or.jp/noma/english/e_index.html"&gt;NOMA Concours for Picture Book Illustrations&lt;/a&gt; this coming September.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Ahora bien, para acompañar estas noticias tan emocionantes, tengo una muy emocionante y muy incompleta ilustración en papel cortado sobre mi mesa. Es la segunda ilustración de cinco que pretendo enviar al &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);" href="http://www.accu.or.jp/noma/english/e_index.html"&gt;NOMA Concours for Picture Book Illustrations&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt; para este Setiembre.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And just to remind myself that no task is too big, I've attached a photo of my hero of the day. A tiny black ant just going about her daily toiling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Y solamente para recordarme que no hay tarea demasiado grande ni difícil, he agregado una fotografía de mi héroe del día.

I arrived after some rumble and tumble in the Costa Rican public bus system and was greeted by a pleasant surprise: Wednesdays are free!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Tenía que matar tiempo entre vuelta y vuelta, y pensé que sería bueno hacer algo productivo, así que pasé a visitar el &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);" href="http://www.museosdelbancocentral.org/"&gt;Museo de Oro&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt; en San José centro. Cuando llegué después de un poco de sube y baja en el sistema de transporte público costarricense,  me encontré con la grata sorpresa de que los miércoles son gratis!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once inside, I was greeted by a somewhat "churchy" atmosphere. It was soothingly calm, dark and cool, so different from the tropical day-to-day events happening outside. In the gallery for temporary exhibits, there was a show of nine young local artists that was short and sweet. They were all pretty contemporary approaches to contemporary issues, and I learned the exhibit was conceived for an event organized by the IDB Cultural Center. Here's a little &lt;a href="http://www.redcultura.com/editorial/2007/09noti/070608noti.php"&gt;note&lt;/a&gt; (in spanish) about the exhibit from RedCultura.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Al entrar, fui recibida por una ambiente un tanto "de iglesia". Estaba tranquilo, oscuro y fresco, bastante contraste con los eventos diarios que sucedían afuera (y arriba, ya que el museo está bajo tierra). En la galería de exhibiciones temporales encontré una pequeña muestra de artistas jóvenes. Todos tenían maneras muy contemporáneas de abordar temas contemporános, y me enteré que el evento fue concebido por el Centro Cultural IDB.

The pieces in the museum never cease to amaze me, it seems that the representation of animal and human form is solved in the most unexpected ways: alternating a figurative approach with strong abstraction, combining painted patterns with textured surfaces, using the shapes the specific techniques promote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Y después proseguí con el objetivo principal de mi visita:  la exhibición permanente, que dispone de piezas maravillosas de arte Precolombino, especialmente en oro, jade y cerámica. Las piezas en este museo nunca dejan de impresionarme, la representación de la forma animal y humana se resuelve de las formas más inesperadas: alternando una fuerte abstracción con un enfoque figurativo, con la combinación de patrones pintados y superficies de textura, y el uso de formas que las técnicas específicas de cada obra facilitan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SEgduG0JT4I/AAAAAAAAHGs/hN5rAFi8kE0/s1600-h/sketches.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SEgduG0JT4I/AAAAAAAAHGs/hN5rAFi8kE0/s320/sketches.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208445646994493314" align="middle" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;(I sketched some, having forgotten my camera elsewhere and &lt;a href="http://www.museosdelbancocentral.org/museo_del_oro/Coleccion_de_Objetos_de_Ceramica_y_Piedra.html"&gt;here's&lt;/a&gt; a little something from the collection from the museum's official site)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;(bocetée un poco por haber olvidado traer mi cámara y he &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.museosdelbancocentral.org/museo_del_oro/Coleccion_de_Objetos_de_Ceramica_y_Piedra.html"&gt;aquí&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt; un poquito de la colección en la página oficial del museo)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6283811605309408643-2531545959969405282?l=wenhsu.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://wenhsu.blogspot.com/feeds/2531545959969405282/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6283811605309408643&amp;postID=2531545959969405282' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6283811605309408643/posts/default/2531545959969405282'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6283811605309408643/posts/default/2531545959969405282'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://wenhsu.blogspot.com/2008/06/precolombian-gold-and-sketches.html' title='precolombian gold and sketches'/><author><name>Wen Hsu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09201954716679520787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SdQyuvE-7jI/AAAAAAAAKeQ/1NsEG3N9Eyw/S220/ava.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KO9VELM1JR8/SEgduG0JT4I/AAAAAAAAHGs/hN5rAFi8kE0/s72-c/sketches.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
