OMG, update!

harrow shifu, stop stalking my blog lei, i veh stress sia. hahahahahahaha---

anyways, although this blog may have seemed permanently abandoned, it was in fact.... abandoned. until shifu decided to whack me for not updating. so. here you go, a commissioned illustration for TimeOut magazine for Feb 2008 issue.

(muahaha, i'm finally printed! does this mean i'm finally a legitimate illustrator now?)

Dreams of a New Space

please click to enlarge. :D

details








ahahaha!!! i'm finally back with new stuff. have been such a lazy asshole. ^^

anyways, this illustration was commissioned by the red dot for the lifts in the building.

my concept was to have people go into the lift, and be transported into another space. To stimulate their creativity and let their imaginations go wild.

ACRES fundraiser

HELLO ALL :D


I did a quick project for Aware Concerns and Research Society recently. They're an AWESOME....no beyond awesome. They're a freaking fantastic animal rights group that did a humongous lot for the improvement of animal rights and care in Singapore.

Check them out at www.acres.org.sg



This is an illustration for a fundraising dinner, to be sold as a one-off postcard/button set.



This is the completed version. :) I'm happy how it turned out.

HELLO

and UPDATE!


Sorry everybody for not commenting/posting for SUCH A LONG TIME. don't worry, I haven't dropped off the face of the earth, was just busy doing some projects and making money (such a necessary evil).

I've just completed a mural project for a shopping mall, pictures below! Had initially planned to fill up more of the background, but due to time constraints... :(

for those in Singapore who are able to go down and take a look, it is in Marina Square. Second level, outside the GV wall (where there is a collaboration mural) Several awesome graffiti artists are involved, like Killer Gerbil, Snatch Thieves, and illustrators like White Dog Bobby, Manda Panda!!! Was bloody excited to meet Gerbil, and he's a totally awesomely nice guy!







I have more news to post, but that'd probably be in another entry. watch out for this space! I'm back!!!

thanks to those who encouraged me so much. Thanks guys, you people are freaking awesome.




i just realized how bloody limited my vocabulary seems because i keep using the word awesome. but it really is awesome! yeah.

complaint.

i think my drawings have become a little souless recently. i no longer have the same sense of fun when i put the pen to paper. it probably shows in my illustrations. probably because of the stress from the final year project. i think about it even when i sleep and i wake up in the morning thinking SHIT FYP. after this is all over i'll take a loooonnnngggg looooonnnggggggggggg break to rest and recharge.



live sketch of a muslim lady on the bus. did this a while back and i like the relaxed, free lines in this. i'm trying to get it back. stay tuned.

Disposapet!

part of my graduation project, let me know what you think :D

Illustration Friday - Red

Poppies in July - Sylvia Plath



Little poppies, little hell flames,
Do you do no harm?



You flicker. I cannot touch you.
I put my hands among the flames. Nothing burns.



And it exhausts me to watch you
Flickering like that, wrinkly and clear red, like the skin of a mouth



A mouth just bloodied
Little bloody skirts!

There are fumes that I cannot touch.
Where are your opiates, your nauseous capsules?



If I could bleed, or sleep! -
If my mouth could marry a hurt like that!

Or your liquors seep to me, in this glass capsule,
Dulling and stilling.



But colorless. Colorless.

Illustration Friday - Super Hero

who's your super hero?



a piece i did for my grad project.





ps: i apologize to all friends, i have no time to comment on your stuff because my deadline is looming. and I NEED MORE TIMEEEEEE!!!!! *gahhhh* wish me good luck. (>.<)\

Not really an Illustration Friday - Help

a set of postcards that failed to make it to production.

sometimes when one wants to commercialize art, one has to think of the market reception. if they don't like it, you don't make it. bahhhhhh. i say to hell with that.

help! T_T~
