distance between us

This is an artwork from mindless and no briefs. It happen many times for me as I done it without any concept but just throw them out of my brain. That could see the result of reflecting my status at the moment. I think its good to free yourself with some activities and it can make you proud as well.

Monotype printmaking

Today I've a chance to join Monotype printmaking. Lots of my work contain lots of detail and object, character.. I never try this kind of printing before but I've found new version of my works from this with transformation and unexpected outcome...! lets see..

Psychology of Bitching

Last week I've got the brief from Guilty Pleasure Magazine call for illustrators in contributing magazine project. They gave me an article about "The psychology of bitching"! Have you wonder of how rude its going to be. I've sketched so many ideas about bitching and wonder of how they bitch, hows the bitchy looks like, what activities I should create a story to them. There are several ideas but they told me the description about the girls whispering and look down to each other. That could scope my imagination a bit, I haven't read the real article just got the title of it. so its quite open for me and ok let me guess the mood and tone of it. Finally it success! they like it and I think its different what I've practice that I'll read the whole article and try to understand the key from author and communicate it out. This one come from the title but its also work out!.. quite good :)

 This one is using of ZIPS to represent the way of gossip/whispering. Even they can close it but it isnt the way of bitchy does. The costume and appearance also reflect to the bitchy girls

I'd like to make it simple and convey meaning directly to the article, and what they need for as well. The magazine is a kind of lifestyle and fashion so I made this to looks like a fashion illustration. use opposition color to attract and mood and tone of this kind of girls.

This is quite different and extend meaning from the first two. It shows the girls look down to each others and also keep chatting upon one's head. Which I think the head is the most highest and definitely its the part of respect and honour. The girls is gossiping with so much saliva on her head. It looks quite funny but I think it shows obviously the dirty and rude of this kind of girls.

For those outcome, I still feel that I should develop more in another medium. Using of watercolor is looks soft and gentle but I made it more strong but contrast with black thick outline. Somehow I should make another version with more appropriate medium!

Alice in Wonderland

My version of Alice in Wonderland. Honestly I never watch it and this illustration created from the unknown idea and story in my mind.. thats not so good but it gives me more open ideas and imagination. My Alice is a bit surrealistic, her big hand and a poker leg, other elements in the story added in my version which is different from the real Alice. And maybe my Alice will be changed after look up the real one.

 

I've seen many version of Alice in Wonderland illustration. It has been apply in many artwork, music and films. The one impressed me is a film by Jan Svankmajer. He is one of my idol who's influence me in many actions. His stop motion film is unique and a bit disturb with his surrealistic world.

first collection, 2008

My first collection of fabric painting with Acrylic color in 2008. The concept is "Self identity" and this can be seen as self promotion. I painted this skirt for 3 days and nights on the long length fabric. The story contain a sequence of myself, my appearance and growth, my interest passion and surrounding things. It's the best one to describe myself at that moment. When time passed it also reflect my thought and leads me to the old memories and old me..

Eternal

A shot of my video art named "Eternal" running story about the Eternal of human.

In the video, it shows the portrait of beautiful woman covered with cosmetics which fulfilling her attraction and beauty. Then it start to shows underneath her skin at the same time. I've draw vein, blood and many muscle in hand drawn and edit in digital. It start with the the skeleton, then muscle and vein which when completed every elements of entrails made me satisfied. This frame is perfectly fit with her face even though I didn't make it from her face. She's a beautiful woman actually, even she's covered with what people's afraid of...

2007

One of my movement in 2007-2009 while im in the BA course of communication design. I love to do lots of detailed with black and white lines with various concept. I distorted it with loads of pattern. The patterns I used to draw a lot mostly is curly, circle and some natural things like leaf and a kind of art nouveau.

The last work is called Poker card family. I've created the several character of poker pattern in a form of family. The top to bottom is the arrangement of ages, but maybe I forgot about to arrange the value of pattern in a game too!! There's many poker card game I reallyyyy like to play,, lol. And these card pattern are something very unique and logotype. I have another project in my head as well, its about to set a concept and make an illustration for a pack of poker cards.. that could be very fun!!

1st sketch

My self- portrait made by watercolor with the photoshop editing,,

Basically i'd like to do lots of strange portrait and figure, its not too obvious and feeling mystery. But some of them i try to make it in another way to practice and develop in what iam lack of. This artwork is a sample of painting myself with one mirror in front of my face.

I have to say that iam not a person who's profess in figure and anatomy, which im trying to practice it anyway! A good portrait should brings out that person's identity through the arts even if its not exactly how that person looks like..i think! So i just capture some of the outstanding part of my face like this!!
