Open Road COVER

Here is the cover of "An Open Road and a Full Tank of Gas, Part 2". A DINER is both an American restaurant and an American institution. (I understand there is also a diner chain in the UK called OK DINER)Diners serve standard American food like cheeseburgers, fries and cokes and are usually open 24 hours. The next picture is of a famous American painting called "Nighthawks" depicting a late night diner scene. The Nighthawks "Update" features American celebs who died to soon including Elvis, Bogart, Marilyn Monroe and James Dean.

Comment by CCF Beijing on May 31, 2012 at 6:36: Mostly travel and feature articles. But..."this is China"....so a lot of weird, unusual and/or interesting topics can be covered. One time I did a food review for a 5 star restaurant and got the free food along with being paid for the article. There is other media related stuff too. Like...I did a voiceover for a children's book. But...that kind of thing doesn't happen every day. I keep my day job.

Comment by Leon Marquis on May 31, 2012 at 1:59: oh really? what kind of subject do you write? on travel?

Comment by CCF Beijing on May 29, 2012 at 20:41: Yeah, Edward Hopper's 1942 "Nighthawks" painting is in my hometown's museum (The Art Institute of Chicago).I am a freelance writer. The book cover artwork was done by a friend of mine from the Phillipines.

Comment by Leon Marquis on May 29, 2012 at 17:57: Edward Hopper has a painting called Automat, that's the most impressive one for me. a woman sitting behind a table, maybe homeless. the people in Hopper's paintings always look like homeless. what is your media? maybe marker pen and oil pastels? and what's that on the field? they don't look like grass, i thought they are some kinds of insects or mosquitos at first glance :D
