These are just some sketches I did while I was at St Augustine City on the way back from Florida back to Savannah....

Design as a Cultural Artefact

All are welcome. See you there!

The Lady Riding Hat

I suppose this can be considered a sequal to The Pillbox Hat Girl. Comes in a set of 3, last one coming right up. ;)

On an unrelated note, I've uploaded the Tekkon Kinkreet OST ( REMOVED BY ADMIN- COPYRIGHT LAH ) I think the link will only last a couple of days, so go get it while you can. I thought Paprika was already amazing, but Tk totally blew me away.

facebook is scary.

hi, my name is ag. i'm addicted to facebook.

first try

second try

third try, paid more attention to the tone thing that drewscape is talking about + line color. not very good at portraying the feeling of depth though, strawberry looks like it's stuck on his face. :/ (help?)

fourth attempt. everything starts going haywire. @_@

it's amazing that i have photoshop, and i never explored how to use the functions/colors properly. but this graffiti wall thing can hook me into drawing and experimenting with colors. so fun!!!

drawn with tablet + superwall!

okay. off to poke somebody and throw some sheep. :P

work for hire/freelance contracts

hey does anyone have a standard work for the hire/freelance contract for illustration jobs
(with terms of rights transfers, number of usages etc) ? I did mine in the US so its still kinda full of american legalese, would be great to see Singaporean versions :p

Let it snow!

Haha.. For the fun and love of silkscreening!

rokstars make fun of rokstars

Hi everyone....sorry I've been absent for one month and a half....

Watercolor + color pencil, A3, for an ad promoting House @ 8DDempsey Rd....(client: Spa Esprit) The spread can be found in L'Officiel Singapore, October ed. They divided it into three small pics, so you wouldn't see it in this panoramic form.

link to bigger pic: here

Another thing: I have a little exhibition as part of House's monthly 'adopt-an-artist' program. It's been running over a month, but you can still visit it until Dec 15th.

yet another post on Tekkon Kinkreet

i've waited for this movie exactly 12 months. :D since i first read this interview on Pingmag last year... blown away by the art (at first) and now the storyline. it's absolutely worth the wait. (can you tell i'm fangirling? XD )

thanks to Drew organising this!

3 thrones and a shower or things that you can do in the toilet

Hi everyone.

Did this for a figure drawing assessment project. Somehow I've always found the toilet to be one of the best spots for inspiration. Therefore, I would like to dedicate this piece to all the great and wonderful "thrones" around the world, and also to all who have had a surge of ideas whilst at the loo.

Reasons for the skeleton and muscle guy is coz we've been practicing on human anatomy and this is just for showing my still basic understanding of bones and musculature. Plus they look really cute, no? (Muscle man was originally supposed to have a speech bubble shouting: "Oi! Quit the fags!")

Media used: -Willow charcoal
-Chalk
-Drawing pencil "terracotta"
-2B and 3B pencils, and not to forget the invaluable rule and eraser!

Sadly, forgot what paper it's called...

Blind Contour Drawing 2

Thanks for posting ann gee! Here's a blind contour drawing i did in a cab recently. I agree. It's a good way to break out of your usual logical way of drawing. If my science is right, it shld strengthen the visual "muscles" in the right (visual/creative) side of the brain. That's because it forces the brain to only use the visual muscles and you totally ignore the logical side of the brain. Since drawing things accurately is closely linked to visual observation, it's a very good way to improve your drawing skills. I recommend drawing in unbroken continuous lines when doing this. It also improves you confidence in drawing. let's share more tips like this in OIC.

Blind Contour Drawing

is drawing without looking at what you're drawing, so you just follow the contours

have been doing this quite a lot lately, mainly to break my hand's habit of drawing the same kind of lines. I find that i have a tendency to draw lines in a particular way, so alot of things look the same. especially faces. :|

not very good to draw this in public though, because when you keep staring at somebody the person kinda gets..........
