Photoshop CS5



There was a very,very evil mosquito last night that kept me up. It only showed itself when I switched off the lights. Very sneaky.

Is just absurd.

sleep, don't fall

Oh yes, perhaps some of you might have noticed I changed my signature. Unfortunately I had no choice. I just got tired of the signature bothering with overall composition at the end of the work.
Minimal 'k.' it is.

I need new electronics.

I need a new phone (have always digged Samsung designs, even the one that I bought for 21lei-equivalent to 5 euros, but their software never failed to epic fail me), a new PC/laptop(one that does not need more than 8 minutes to save a PSD file while causing me a near death experience while waiting), a new external HD(one which cables are secure that they do not unplug themselves when I apparently cause an earthquake while tapping my foot, and preferably reproduces its gigabytes the way an amoeba does).
...These are possibly the only electronic items I possess to begin with.

Hope you guys don't mind me starting rants in here? I have my phases, I promise this one won't last long.

Nowadays, the only kind of sleeping I wouldn't mind doing is the forever kind.
The sun is stealing too much of my time!

night sketch.

aren't you scared that one day, they'll find out how regular you are?
gosh, that particular cardigan's song always makes me wanna down a whole bottle.

there are times when the music i listen to resonates so much to me and the band of time i'm in, to the point of exploding.
and at this point, i wish there is somebody to explode with, ashes of me dancing with the other's. although there never is that other.
it's a lovely, exciting, and lonely feeling.

sorry, no artwork.
coming down from an exciting weekend.
thank you everybody.

listening in on you

photoshop CS5

time flies like hell, man.
my youth is flying past by me like..like.. like billboards of locally made tv series.

okay okay admittedly i felt guilty for posting a work thing instead of a personal thing so i cooked this one up real quick at work. no ref. i should start ref-ing. wargh.

there is probably more freedom in being hated than being loved.

Update: Print sold to Iskandar Ismail

i have observed something silly:
sometimes a comment on a subject may very well be more profound, more life-changing, more significant than the subject itself.
bravo to writers.

sorry no drawing. got a few WIPs but i think ive been flooding those too much over here lately. let's take a break.

loud sight

sometimes you see things and you think they're trying to tell you something.
they're really not.
photoshop CS3

turned out totally different. mmm. blame the posters of the fest'asia.
speaking of which i wanted to go the other night but the good film they had was something i just recently watched.

on another note,
am so proud of the band. finally got 3 songs somewhat down. too bad everyone's left for vacation, no jamming sessions for a while till late july. hmm.

WIP: loud

WIP: pinkrain

photoshop CS3

just a wip to bump the previous post.

finally done with studio stuff at school.
my wacom is acting up again, he's been serving me for 7 years now, i wonder if i've exhausted the charming lil old horse. god knows what kind weird substances it's concocted under the layer, with my record of spilling all sorts of things on top of it.

edit: WIP2.
progress is slow because my mind is occupied by useless things again. plus i picked up some unhealthy books.

Curvy!

So after a long battle with the post office, i finally got my package. remember that submission i did for that aussie magazine? yes it has flown several seas (or air borders) to get to me, and although it has reached my hands in a slightly tattered state (the package was already ripped open, prolly searching for the oh-so-outdated anthrax), the book looks a lot better than i expected.






i'm on page 123. i like the number yes i do.


got no idea where it's distributed since honestly dont think ive seen any previous editions of curvy around before.
then again i doubt romania gets many artbooks, so. meh.

i'm still sad that i didn't get to go to the gallery opening and launch though. the pictures they had on the YEN site look like they had a blast. ;_;

uh. oh and in the list there's another malaysian other than me! awesome =D
