:phunk + keichii tanaami

for a week or so i've been volunteering for :phunk studio, they and keiichi tanaami do a collaboration together, the exhibition open from 18 august till september, i think ( i forgot :\ )
it's called eccentric city and it's awesomeeee

so the city is made of tatebanko, which have 4 sides, two sides are phunk's and the other two is tanaami's, they hang the tatebankos so that if u look from the right side of the room you'll see tanaami's artworks and left side of the room you'll see phunk's. some of the tatebankos are crushed and put on the floor. representing rise and fall of a city.

me and my friends decided to volunteer, so we help cut, score, fold, touching up stuff and it's pretty cool. :D as a reward, we got front row seats booked for us! (for the :phunk and tanaami-san talk) which is pretty awesome even tho the place is small so it doesnt really matter if ur sitting front row or not, haha but it's definitely a rare chance to see them together and especially keichii tanaami who is 74 years old! (fun fact: the guy used to be an art director for playboy magazine japan edition) his work is very psychedelic, and just awesome, i really like the characters, the colors, the dots and all.

ah and we got tanaami san to sign an autograph for us, he drew this little character for each signature, and we took pics together. :)

*something is wrong with blogger, i cant post pics. what a letdown!

new chapter

new semester is about to begin, i'm a level 2 student by august. and i'm so excited! getting back to college means more productivity and surrounded by creativity.

i usually don't have as much excitement to do creative stuff when i'm on holiday especially when i'm back at my hometown. not a good thing i know, but at least this holiday i managed to make a logo for my family's-future-bread&cake shop. and discussing about the interior and other stuff with my boss (aka my brother)
sadly i have to leave before everything is done. i'm leaving tomorrow with new spirit! weeeee :D

the drums - lets go surfing

dude, as if

a link to my tumblr

im bored.
i don't know why every time an ice cream truck come by pass my house, my dog will howl like a friggin evil dog. it's like my dog is obsessed with the ice cream truck's jingle. what's wrong with that? it's an ice cream truck, ice cream = friendly.

the weather's crappy these days, huh? raining almost everyday. oh man, i wanna move somewhere else.

what's with the 'soft, vintage-y' photographs these days? im getting bored with that one too.

birdie

drawn with blue ballpoint pen

final project

this is the doll i made for my projected self-project. i made this to represent the word soft, because people said i'm a soft person (haha) so i made this soft toy. made with cotton fabric and cotton balls inside. then drawn with pencil, drawing pen and watercolor.

anyway, school's finally over, for assessment we had to submit our portfolio consists of our sem 2 projects, marker rendering folder and our sketchbook. my lecturer kept my portfolio as a sample, don't know what he's going to do with it, but i'm quiet happy.. really when you saw the cover of my portfolio, it is under appreciated because i didn't put any design cover for it.
anyway these are some screen shot of how my portfolio looks like (i forgot to take pics of the actual finish portfolio!)


imagine navy blue cover and white naturalis paper (and some glossy papers) for the contents.

andrew bird can really whistle like a bird

he can whistle and play violin (or guitar or xylophone) at the same time (which is awesome since (sometimes) i can't sing and play both at the same time)
he's skinnier than i thought
he's awesomeeeee :)

a sock monkey accompany him on stage, the only thing missing is those giant gramophones speakers!
here's a bit of clip i recorded. the crew stopped me as soon she saw me recording.. (but i recorded voice clips instead, hehehe)

went to see cat power's concert at esplanade with juli. and it was awesome, she sounds better live, plus the band is great
when she sang the first song, i couldn't believe i actually watched her live. i was tearing up believe it or not, hahaha she's fun on stage, there's this moment when she want the crew to light up the house lights so she can see everybody and she waved to us, and i waved back to her! haha at the end of the concert she gave everyone at the front row a flower. oh we want those flowers! but we were waaay up there :(

here are some videos we took from the concert, the sounds not that good i know (especially when you already hear it live..) (d'oh) most of the video size is 100+ so i just post this clip when chan singing lord help the poor and needy
