F.I.T. Olympic

Hi, guys! I want to share some working steps when I made this olympic event posters for my brother that studied at Les Roches Jin Jiang.

He said that the event will be outdoor so they won't use the black t-shirt :p

Have a nice day, all! :D

Thanks to Rara for joining my blog, welcome! :)

Wish List

A new purse, a pair of flat sandals, a shorts, Tin-Tin books bundle, moleskine note, water color kit. Those are some of many things that I want right now, but all of them are kind of item that I have no urge to buy for. It's a wish list that maybe someday when the price is suit and condition is right, I will buy it. Or maybe someone would give it to me! Ha!

Sometimes I have a big will to create my own wish list stuff as long as it is possible. For example, the purse, I always want to make one since I never found a purse that suits my expectation, but I never have time for it so... I keep using my old one even though it has been torn up. I always feel that I live to create something, it's never been pleasing me to buy something that I think I could made. Even though I know there is no time for it. So, when I knew about Project Accessory, it really gave me fresh air. Seeing a dozen of people creating something that they passionate for is breath taking. Rich Sandomeno is my favourite designer! He has his own vision of accessory and his metal work is very clean, functional, and astonish me (especially when he made beetle themed for runway).

But anyway, if you want to buy something, you might need to research the product background and the best offering price for it. It sounds complicated to do a little research, but it won't be that hard anymore when you visit dskon! And... if you want a great deal for things that you want, make sure to try the group buying section! The more people being gathered to buy the same thing, the price will be cheaper :)

Also, when you just need inspiration about fashion, tips and trick to look chick in you style, or maybe want to learn something new, you can check their blog to find out more. Dskon.com is a great site to find all of those inspiration! Also the great thing is, you can reveal the beauty of Indonesian fashion blogger and find out where they inspiration came from.

I wish you a wonderful May! :D

Mr. Skull

What is your favourite site to seek for inspiration? I always visit behance.net whether I need some inspirations or just for killing the boredom. After seeing so many people that passionately doing a creative project, my mood just boosted up to start something new. Behance always makes me enthusiast to draw because so many artist with their personal style put their work there.

Mr. Skull is one of the result after I get some enlightenment from Behance's various artist. Practice will makes you better and sometimes you need something different to draw. I seriously lack of anatomy senses when drawing human, that is why I try to learn from the very basic, human skull. And... this Joe Dassin's song titled Aux Champ Elysées is really sway me to learn French. That is the reason why Mr. Skull speaks French. Duh! He should be named Monsieur Crâne! 

Anyway 'comment allez-vous?' means 'how are you' :)

The earlier sketch

Voila!

Ahoy!

I made this pirate girl between my spare times :) Anne Bonny and Mary Read are two awesome English pirates that inspired this piece. After several looks, the mountain on the right looks like having a face! ... and I'm still not sure what kind of bird that standing on her hand, it supposed to be a parrot, but... yeah, it turns out not even close... Haha... Also, red haired girl is my favourite when I create a character. I always picture them with brave and smart character (just like Merida in Brave) so the character already give me a great mood to work with.

And also I want to say thanks to Monica Olivia for joining my site! :)

Dream Big

Hi, guys!

I just repainted an old canvas from my team project back in university.

It has been raining for a month in here, so I just put bright colours to heal my longing of the sun.

Dream Big, everybody! :D

Sherlock

Watching 'Sherlock' TV series was one of my activity when spending the holiday season last year. My sister introduced it to me but I didn't really interested with it. Until one night she decided to watch over again from season one, so why don't give it a try? ...And Benedict Cumberbatch really stole my attention from beginning to the last episode! How he acted mysterious, cold, and serious all the time is really entertaining (mostly when he left Watson in confused situation).

After watched all six episodes, his figure often popped up in my head. Tickling me to shaped him in illustration. So I made it! And I prefer the sketches than the final image, hahaha... (I'm still poor at colouring techniques...)

Well, actually he looks like this, next to him is Martin Freeman played as Dr. John Watson.

Wish you guys a great day! Keep practicing! Whatever it is! :)

Trapped in Jakarta

I feel bad for people in Jakarta that trapped in flood for several days until now. Some of my friends can't go anywhere and also in crisis of clean water. Unfortunately, my boyfriend's house is located at the most deep area of flood. I feel really bad because nothing that I can do besides giving moral support. I can only pray that no more heavy rains for several days ahead, at least there's a sign that the water height will go down.

Although many civilians say that Jakarta is really terrible in trash management; cityscape; transportation system; and traffic system, it still have a nice place to see. I'm talking about the cultural area that still exist in the middle of big malls and tons of tall buildings.

We visited Pasar Seni Ancol last year. It's really out from our plan to go there, since we want to visit Taman Mini Indonesia Indah at first. But the traffic was really unbearable, so we go to this place instead. Pasar Seni is used to be crowded and lived, many art activities being held and quite a great market for selling art stuffs. Now it left us some shops that still survived and art installations that quite catchy.

Survived shops.

Pile of shoes in front of shoe shop.

Catchy Ants.

Rattan King Kong.

Out Bond Area

Pinwheel and street lamp.

Seashore.

No sand, no play.

This is a view from Lodan Monastery near Ancol. When I passed the front door after had a visit, I noticed this Buddha statue standing everyday to face the traffic. I wish for a better Jakarta...
