Back to business

Hi there, may an apology be accept?

So sorry, dearest blog, for having abandoned you for quite a period of time. Lately my life have been drowned in commotion, swimming in sea of turmoil. But now eveything is back to how it use to be. BIG SIGH OF RELIEF!

Many have occurred. Went to a food exhibition, met lots of people (some who speaks language I cannot comprehend), and hunted for free ice cream, one word, deeeelicious. Then at home I made an unappealing, yet scrumpcious, apple crumble. It's my very own recipe which I will post soon after more testing (finger cross that it will taste the same everytime I make it). And of course, not to forget, I have been busy producing more art works. Stop motion animation coming up and a mini comic about a crazy diner.

For now here are fragments of work I made a couple of weeks ago.

Also, to make this blog a little more educating and less a constant ramble about my life; I have decided to add two special section: "Facts n' Tips" and "Discovery of the Day".

Facts n' Tips will consist of facts about art, its history, important figures etc. And tips on various art techniques: drawing, painting, collages etc. I will sought these out from a reliable source, me promise not to post false jibberrish.

And Discovery of the Day will be my personal findings in art. My experiment on different stuff and so on.

With out further ado I shall start this newly added section.

Discovery of the Day: Mixing all colors used in a painting with one main color helps to harmonize the whole image...and mixing paint with a brush gives the same sensation as cooking. fuunnnn...

It's milk, egg and can

Still in my animal phase.

Continuing my passage to create better work.

I'm actually unsure of how this idea of combining domestic farm animals with their produce came to me. Maybe its the urge to tell the world that we're turning these poor creatures into nothing more than just products. They're no longer consider living organisms but things we kill, sell, and eat. There lives are insignificant to us human, they live to be serve on the table, live to produce and to be squeeze into cans...

or maybe I just happen to see a can of tuna and thought that the design looks really cool, then turned to see that a carton of left over milk looks really cool too. And since I like drawing creatures, why not give these objects heads, legs and badabim badaboom...this is the result.

moo

cuckoo

By the way, does tuna count as a farm animal?

Grump...

Alright, I admit, I am a little grumpy.

Last Saturday was the t-shirt festival and yup, my design didn't sell well.

I guess this could be use as a lesson; for me to realize that I have much more work to do for my design skill to be at professional level. Yes, I do realize that. Yes, I came home and practice. No, I did not deal with it well.

Grrrrrr....how I was grumpy.

Drawing for me is not so difficult anymore: I see fish I can draw fish. Graphic on the other hand is somthing not yet in my grasp: here's a bottle make it look cool. I could careless and not bother to spend my time on somthing I'm not good at. BUT, graphic design is an essential skill for an artist to find a job, so buhu, I do need to learn it.

Grrrrrrr....(sorry, that shall be my last groan).

Well, because of the let down  on that day, today I decided to look to the wild side for a little inspiration.

....Hmmmm, I have to find a certain style to stick to don't I?
