ayanami rei

now who could ever forget her.
i had the urge to draw her smoking a cigarette.

i found a new way of colouring: it's called ''don't care''. feels good, really.

random commentary: here i thought that i could store my winter clothes away for good, and the evil evil dark clouds of cold are reigning again. >..<

good night.

goodnight tv

photoshop cs

this was a real headache to finish, because there was a power trip in the middle of doing the work, and after losing a lot of work done to it, to get the mood and feel back to finish this was pretty much impossible. but i really liked this previously so i pushed to get something out of this.

on a side note, am feeling a lot better these days. took a 4 day trip to some snowy mountains and got some nice winter boots (too bad it's supposed to be getting warmer soon) as i couldn't take hiking on the snow with my stupid yet nice canvas shoes. also got a traditional film camera, the ones that bring back old nostalgic non digital times of life, and can't wait to see results of pictures taken the analogue way! (not being able to check if you looked like a stoner drunk in a picture that was taken until it's developed, GASP)

it was freaking cold, but the non-bucharest air was worth it.

pop it

photoshop CS3

got distracted from the previous drawing so this is what came out from a lazy, distracted sketch. i quite like though. yum.

terubozu

photoshop cs3

i would say it's a bit different than the usual, but then again, i'm not sure. not too happy with this one but it was fun doing it nonetheless. it looks simple but i kept having minor changes to composition. hmm.

cereal love

i guess this is the closest i can get to a valentine's work. not that i ever draw things for occasions.
yum.

if you're not brilliant, you don't earn the right to be insane.

Happy Birthday, Love.

i want this tshirt

i want this tshirt please. with a 1000 mangoes.
mango my violent cat that will scratch your eyeballs out when you come near.
i want i want, kthnxbye.

open mind

coming back with a bang!
first personal work in freaking ages, all this bottled up in my mind and finally i can let something out. i feel really good today.

the return of the tablet

today i will get my wacom tablet.

can't wait can't wait can't wait! now i can finally channel all this lame insanity to make something. it's about time.

a complaint letter

that stillness in the air
heavy draperies of black thick tar
it's all too familiar
when everything and anything stops and considers
what attitude to adopt, what to make out of it
death comes, and death never goes.

awkwardness to sadness
they say you get used to things
but it gets to me, each time.
it bites, and it eats chunks away from me
soon enough there'll be nothing of me.

what kind of world do we live in
to cherish the gone and forget the now
where loving is child's play and yet
it is selfish to say, ''i love you''
where it is inconsiderate to show you care.

is love something you created only for you?
do you take them away because the only one who deserves it is you?
i am running out of it, so please do not be expecting
it is true i have no ownership, for i do not find it myself
i stumble upon it and take a peek, a mere insect fascinated by fire.

i did not need to have been taught the lesson
i never took for granted the love that comes
i refuse to believe that i am undeserving
for i love, and that is the only thing i have and can do
so please, please stop taking them away from me.

let me love because i am worthless without it.

aaAAaa smelly sock.

aaaaaAAAAaaaaaaaAAAaaa.

I LEFT MY WACOM TABLET BACK HOME. as in malaysia.

....

AAAaaaAAAAAaaaaAAAAAA.


i have a smelly sock for a brain, i really do.
ps/ i am back in bucharest. like duh.


i think i am starting to sound like an angsty teenager. it's the fault of the book i'm reading.

holiday post

No works for a while because I'm having the time of my life back home in Malaysia.
Did you know that Malaysia is, like, so cool? I didn't know. It's awesome.

I am absorbing the Malaysian-ness back into me, indulging myself with all that home has got to offer. And home's got to offer A LOT. I basically feel like I'm spoiling myself by just being Malaysian. It's THAT awesome.

Gonna hit East Coast in the first week of January. As in, the seaside. Yes. the sun is up, the sand is warm, the waters alive. <3 Sorry suckers, Malaysia's warm all year round. (Not sure whom I'm addressing but let me gloat for just a bit) Gosh I am starting to talk like my sister.

I'm in the mood to catch up with people and meet new peeps and do things(whatever that means), so if anyone's up to something and is/are somewhere around KL at the moment, drop me a line.

Happy holidays and a Happy New Year!

ps/2009 better be a better year or I'll have a boot up the ass of the responsible figure. And I will, without a doubt, FIND YOU.

portrait with bear

there is something harsh about this but i could not help it anymore.

Lone

birthday present for Lone, 11th december.
acryclics on canvas. can't remember the dimensions, but it was pretty small.



oh and since i was in the hardworking mood of taking pictures, this is how the corner of my new apartment where i paint and stuff. @_@ i got the hang of working on the floor.

help me help you

photoshop CS

go on and put the blindfold back on honey.

WIP: help me help you

compensating for lazy days.

pull it off

oh i forgot this one. damn it the absence of internet fucks up my chronological order of things.

extinguish

to break the dry spell, here's a little sketchy thing.

i have been M.I.A. due to the fact that i was living internet-less for 2 weeks, since i moved to a new, happier place. and by living internet-less i mean it in the pure sense. i wasn't going to friends' houses to use a minute of internet. well except for once, to purely check my email, and even then i didnt even read them. now i feel like a junkie that just broke out of rehab and bathing in goodies all over again. which i keep repeating this phrase to people.

it has been eventful lately, but it is now time to calm down. and back to the drawing board.

as a person, i feel that i am deteriorating. in many, many ways.
i don't know what i am doing, and the second i think i've got a grip on things, i fumble again.
i am quite afraid of what i'm growing into. i am indulging in the vengeance against nature, in a pointless, unproductive manner. perhaps destructive, even.
my name is a big burden to carry.

needless to say, consciously i am trying to work against deterioration. but the subconscious gets the best of me. if only it didn't affect the people around me, the people i really care about, i would have been glad.

flood in forest

not.. so sure where i got this from.
been watching a lot of supernatural and dexter lately. maybe the white nurse look is from House M.D.. beats me.

at least it's a change of colors. never painted in so much green before, i think.

photoshop cs.

WIP: forest flood

i know i was supposed to do more variation on the last one, which i did start working on actually. but i have this image that i just have to draw first. there'll be cute things added to this.

afraid to jump 1

photoshop CS

i plan to do more variations on this. this isnt how i pictured it to come out, but i felt too guilty of making so little strokes of colour. (i had really crispy cut out feel in mind. those are so minimalistically gorgeous)

i miss swimming pools.

i smoke and drink too much. tone down? maybe if he breathes.

this winter

photoshop CS

back to the deadnessity of it all.
i simply love drawing just what i want to draw. i am not going to justify myself.

childish, a little wildish

photoshop CS
this doesn't say anything but boy did i have fun playing around. it's always hard to really make a decision on what looks good. plus it's a nice change from dark things, as some people have commented about the last few works.
oh title from damien rice's song-childish. how is is he so freaking good man. U_U

don't go

sketch photoshop CS. the comeback of the two chickas.

unwant dream

gosh all those cigarettes.

it is hard being

if i danced hard enough, would you reappear as suddenly as you disappeared?
if i played all your favourite songs, would you listen to my words as well?

what if i told you i still love you.
all i need is for you to tell me how you're doing
all i need is for you to hear me say, i still love you.

it is tough being in love with a dead man
but loving you is too easy.

i hope there is internet wherever you are.



photoshop CS

WIP: it is hard being

work in progress

when i think of you

photoshop CS

on a side note,
it is quite hard to draw something that shows the emotion of missing someone.
and whoa my works are getting colder and colder.

on another side note,
oh god i never knew that paintball could massacre someone's legs so bad. and and and. i want to play more.

drastic measure

i am quite happy with this one. i am quite curious how the next few works will look like.
good news is that i might have gotten myself addicted to drawing all over again. feels like finding new love.

it's the good old days again.

Update: Print sold to Christophe.

WIP: save the record

as always, music really affects my attitude while drawing.
i should really stop listening to sappy things.
i like cute little bad girls. these two aren't too bad though. not yet anyway.

baby

more minimalistic sketches from me.
bear with me for a while.
i find it hard to come up with vibrant colours these days.
i hope it's a phase, because i really like colours.
funny, i noticed my drawings look really lifeless these days.

stand, you.

a nothing-much sketch. photoshop CS


another drwaing that i couldn't get the energy nor desire to finish. maybe one day. maybe one day.

help yourself

photoshop CS3

on a side note,
the healing process is a funny one.
and mango is giving me incredible scratch marks. the cat.
hmm. what else.
i need to start taking life by the balls. guess i have to find it first. *shrug*
