Mr. Bowlegs

Jeffrey Bowman is one of my favourite illustrator. he works alot with Computer Arts Magazine. there's always fun things scattered around in his work, waiting for their meanings to be discovered. i looked at those elements as clues towards the real meaning of the works. that's what makes his artworks so much fun!

before the 3 point turn, kreta tu t'mati engine! ceyh! blom sempat nak buat 3 point turn dah mati plak engine.. mase nak kuar 3 point turn tu, bley plak kreta tu tanak jalan! ish! i had to accelerate cepat2 so that kreta tu tak t'berhenti or reversed. cuak giler weeeeeyyyyhh~ tapi bila dah kuar tu i shouted loudly!! best giler dah pass!! Alhamdulillah..

i looked soo happy in the picture. that's why i chose it for this post :) it's taken by Kakja during Abang Azam's birthday at Sunway Lagoon. kawan2! marila kita pegi sane pulak! x saba nak drive neh! hehehe...

working with my parents for a while.. got JPJ re-test tomorrow at 8.30am.. i DON'T want to fail again.. too much failures going on.. better stop them from breeding..

tadi first time makan durian in... few months..

all in all, won't get to blog for a few days.. those who wait, i appreciate it so much. for every comment, every note, every images you view, every words that you read, everybody who suddenly landed on my page, i thank you :) i could've done so much more than just blog about whatever i've found on the net, but i did it anyways because this is what i like and it's fun to see people who appreciate those stuff as much as i do. it's like, i'm not the only one who does..

hopefully what i've shared with all of you in throughout these 19 months have inspired you in however ways possible.

The Pixel

The Pixel Blog
i simply love this blog!!!! the colours are sooo tasty and funky! the illustrations make the whole blog looks fun and exciting!

The Pixel Blog were awarded The Website of The Month by The CSS Award for obvious reasons. They scored 8.09 marks! that's alot, is you ask me. it's not easy to be The Site of The Month.

i just wish i can make a pretty website like that. starting with re-designing my blog.

instrucionalicious!

here's a mindmap of how to make a mindmap done by lunchbreath. sweets from Share Some Candy. somehow, i thought of my first DF class.. haih.. i was so rajin back then..

take down those notes!

sure, people might bring laptops, PDAs or anything electronic nowadays to write lecture notes in class today. but, i still prefer the traditional method: writing notes in notebooks! it's more original, personal and effective that way. so, i took some time to look for some pretty notebooks around the net, mostly from Etsy coz Etsy have lots of exciting hand-made stuff and i loooove hand-made stuff! i sure have some other notebooks stored on my blog if you wna check em out.

Lifehacker compiled The Most Popular DIY Projects of 2009 and these are my faves! some of em are really easy to do and the materials are quite easy to find too. accept for the broken laptops, you have to have one. i might try doing some of em to fill up my times this holiday. Uglyfying Your Camera sounds fun :)

blender pen can blend things

i just knew that after i read Poppy Talk's post on making a gift tag using blender pen technique. with just 3 steps, you can use a blender pen to transfer images onto paper products, fabric, lino or even wood. follow the tutorial and see if it works.


Step 1: Loosening


Step 2: Burnishing


Step 3: Check

printies

Printed Dress by Josh Good
bila bley pakai camni? bila dah ade duet sendri n bley abeskan sume mengikut kehendak hati n xde sape nak mara.. i love the sleeveless, long sleeves and big stripey jacket specially..

quoted from The Cool Hunter:
"The collection, made up mostly of elongated t-shirt dresses, mini dresses and tanks, was all about bold graphic prints. The pieces themselves, which also included a handful of pants and jackets, were kind of secondary, acting more like personal, mobile canvases for the beautifully sharp, urban graphic prints that adorned them."

dear, boothy

Secret Garden Exhibition Booth.

yesterday i did som sketches for my blog's new logo too. sronok plak buat sketches of these logos :)


haha! the bottom left one looks like a tikus! i like the upper right one the best! maybe not with that seeds coz it look's like a panda's face..


reminded me of Batman's logo :))


the upper left one look like MTv's logo :p~


the left one looks good as a watermark when it's put at a corner of a photo like that.
can't wait to digitalize it! i'm soo psyched!

yeah! get some!

that's just a phrase from a bad army in Avatar mse dea tembak2 tu :p~

after EM submission and a 3 hours sleep at Ecah's, Alia's n Shrr's room (u girls really should make a collaboration name like a band's name), i did some sketches which tibe2 je arose in my brains.. i wanted to change my blog layout.. on my sem break, i wna change everything! make some new stuff.. try my best to polish my skills, specially in illustrations n 3D.. Gamma 3 will be hell! so, i'm gna prepare fo it..

these are my blog layout's sketches. i really don't have any idea ho to make it exactly like these.. but, i'll try my best.. have to build up my CSS skills.


Layout
i really wna make my blog look like.. me. i want it to be colourfully dark. the theme is cute but dangerous :p~ i'm gna use lots of triangles coz i'm into those kind of shapes now.

if u noticed, in 2007, the retro look starts to get popular.. people used to like using round thingies.. then as the year goes along, rounded rectangles started to appear more in people's design.. be it dresses, bags, websites, whatever.. then now, i see these triangles everywhere!

another thing i notice is that in 2007, people love the simple geometric retro patterns, when Lady Gaga shows up in 2008, the 80s came up from dead. big, puffy, angular sleeves, leather and steels stole our attention. in 2009, it's a clash between the 80s and 90s. 90s looks are rather weird because everything is mismatched, in a good way of course.

ok, back to my sketches..
