travel sketches

recently, my fellow artist-peers went on a discovery trip/learning journey with me to malaysia. was supposed to be a trip to wander around for food + attending a friend's wedding but it turned out to be something greater (and grave as I suffered from food poisoning). 

we met local artists and had much discussions with them while exploring their beautiful galleries. visited other art galleries as well. penang alone was a gem.

kill them with kindness

responding evil with kindness. hopefully I get to remember this mantra for the coming year as everything gets tougher. as usual, 2 versions because I can't decide.

c'est ne pas une pipe

inspired by one of my all-time favourite artists, rene magritte (ceci n'est pas une pipe), as well as the very talented hand-lettering illustrator sean mccabe, I made these. (pls excuse my french! I only realised that after drafting in pen ):)

le processus

the artwork took me 2 hours from start till the end. 

"functioning"

 

I was at a staff retreat. I got bored and I doodled. Forgive me. ):

illustrating with love

I haven't been drawing much lately. If i ever do, they're really for clients or for people who matter very much to me.

Last fall, I did my best-b*tch's card before he left Singapore for good. I was utterly devastated and finished this piece within 12 hours before filling it up fully (to the brim) with thoughts/bitchings/last words before I see him again in France/loves and passing it to him before his flight.

Needless to say, he has this up on his wall. (:

This following number is something I did for my significant other for our anniversary. I chose a short quote from "The Wedding Date".

"I think I'd miss you even if we'd never met."

I really like this quote but thought I could have done better with the typography. oh wells! as long as he likes it, I'm good (:

Self Shot by the Blond

Was just playing around with my photoshop. Suddenly, El's (a girl from my major) digital art kinda inspired me to do some digital painting. Of course, mine didn't turn out as brilliant as hers, mine was just an old school mouse digital painting. Well...enjoy!

+++

This was the initial stage. Don't know what in the world I was doing. Just went ahead and paint whatever I felt like. Colours were picked from the swatches. Hence the limit. It started out like that...



Was kinda multi-tasking while doing this digital art, but anyhooo, after both my friends said bye to me on skype, I went on full force towards completion...so TADA! This is the end-product! Not very nice I know, hair also not very hair-like, apologies.

But the least I hope was for it to look like a human. Ha. Yeah. Oh well.
I had fun. Hahaha.



So yeah, it kinda reminded me of my kiddy times, where I used to draw girls in different dresses and clothes. The only difference is that, right now, I'm drawing with more tech-y tools. Ha. (:
