| painting by the river |
[Oct. 26th, 2009|12:31 am] |

i like the trio painting session today. it was just purely staying rooted at one spot and doing our art for that few hours, with not much conversations exchanged but that's the ideal plan of it.
however, i don't exactly enjoy the random visits by passer-bys looking AND commenting on my work in the midst of me doing my artwork. so next time, we shall find a private location.
the previous time i painted the Singapore river was 10 years ago, and i clinched a silver award for that international children art competition then.
what intrigues me is how unique each of our painting style is. i mean, yes obviously everyone sure have their own personalized style, but what i am trying to say is that it is interesting when you get to first hand see one another produce different artworks for the same matter/subject.
it feels good to paint again... =] thanks simon and dom! let's do another session some time soon...

| money and passion |
[Oct. 9th, 2009|09:43 pm] |
i had a little chat with this nsman today (no, it's not gonna be a blog entry about the organization) and he was sharing with me his experiences working in the design industry as a game designer (character designs).
i questioned him if he has ever felt that the passion for design dies off for some period of time in the midst of his career, and he said its inevitable. the one ever truth which i have always try to let it not sink into me:
"You have to understand that at some point in life, passion doesn't tally to money anymore. It is easier to find a job that first suits your hopeful pay, and from there try to develop interest in it than to find a job that is of your interest, and get the pay you want."
------
i'm sorry for voicing this honest opinion i have, but i don't understand why the sales people are earning more than us, the designers. enlighten me, somebody. don't come and tell me the same old theory - without the sales, you don't get the jobs cos i too can tell you without the input from us, you don't get the output.
------
a superior of mine shared his big fat theory on officership which i concur NOTHING of it - "there's a reason why you are wearing that bar... yadda yadda yadda." |

 painted on photoshop, bits by bits using mouse! woot!
this is a long overdue work and i wanted to do a whole mega illustration like some mika-pop-art stuff for my self-portrait (just incase you haven't figured it's a digital illustration of myself) but i'm way too lazy.
somehow, there's a weird vibe to it. eh, i will get it sorted out soon with illustrations!
BOOMZ! |

| canvas shoes |
[Sep. 16th, 2009|03:38 pm] |

my friend's old canvas shoes with a new facelift. it's my first time drawing on a canvas, and on a shoe using a pen.
it's not bad an experience but parts of the drawings were smudged by some water stains, hence explained the purple-ish patches.
i shall try acrylic paint or fabric pen the next time round, should i have some other shoes to work on, but i doubt it will turn out well since both materials seem difficult to control. |

 my parents were the first few ones to don on the rank for me, and just so happened the cameraman crew was there so we were filmed down...




i thought this entry is appropriate to liven up the mood of this dead journal.
more in the cut, if not in my facebook album.

when i was working on my new visual...
bunkmate: your tree very ugly leh. me: *silent* bunkmate: seriously... your tree drawn until very ugly leh. me: don't you think it is very rude of you to comment on an artist's work especially he has yet finish with it and even worse, you are commenting in the midst of him working on his artwork... bunkmate: no... me: well, i am now telling you... it is very rude to do so.

no matter how horrible my drawings might appear to be so, i know that my mum will still like them.
------
certain somebody just enjoy putting people down by throwing comments such as follows: "you should stop doing your rubbish drawings..." oh, that fellow used to be my bunkmate.
------
when you were just minding your own business, doing your doodles in the sketchbook, and this particular nosey fellow had to peer over, stretching his neck like how a tortoise would reach for some air when it is in water, and he probably felt that his opinions had to be heard in that very instance, and said, "that's so ugly."
shrugs. |
