E + Y Comic

early this year, i got a call from an old friend of mine

she's getting married and wanted an art work done in appreciation to her parents

she's getting married

so that's what i've been busy about

apart from all these packing and moving ordeal

thou things at the end turn out all good

but as of right now

one by one the wave just hit, each bigger than the last

hopefully things will all turn out stable again by the end of the month

anyway, here it is

the comic that i drew for yani and edmund :)

edit : don't know why you can't watch it in HD over here but here's the direct link to my facebook page where i uploaded it :)

all over

just a short update,

mid way through the start of 2010

and i have like hundreds of things that's going on in my life right now

am currently doing a comic work for a friend's wedding

i love comic works

just hate the time consuming part

= i gotta sit down here and draw and draw till my ass is flat

but seeing the results after each frame is :)

totally worth all the long hours

another f-cked up thing is

the landlady suddenly say gotta move out

owner raising rent price to beyond acceptable

so i'm in the midst of finding a place to stay

while am also finding time to finally settle my student pass

gotta do all the medical check up shit

and find time to go to the ICA

plus haf to slot in time to view places to stay at

plus haf to come back at home to continue drawing

as much as i thrive having so much things going on in my life

moving out is one thing i hate

ok

FAV : July 2009

july 2009 marks the busiest photography journey i had for last year

filled with shoots after shoots :)

which is all great !

and so

here they are !

super long post ahead !

july started when i was still in medan,

took a short family getaway to sibolangit

the theme park there

shot briefly :D

as i always do back home

more self shoot

experimenting with lights and all :)

then had a shoot with these amazing people

shot a conceptual theme i've always wanted to try on

"dare to dream"

the concept revolves around people

who simply and literally

dare to dream

regardless of who how or why

i believe that people gotta dream to achieve

u gotta have an aim

the shoot revolves around these people

who, don't have much but dares to dream to be what they want to be

it ain't complete

what i have in mind is something so much greater than this

so i was kind of a more like a test shoot for this concept than anything else

behind of the scene video of the shoot !

had a one day shoot with queen

quite an exclusive and secretive shoot thou =x

so never share any of the results

but eventually found one that i can share :)

gave a brief photography workshop after the shoot at night which lasted till midnight =x

flew back to singapore to attend the president's performers concert

met with singapore's two top leaders and their wives

president sr. nathan

and

prime minister lee hsien loong

managed to grab a shot with prime minister lee

organized an outing to changi boardwalk with the members before i left to bali :D

spent some rainy yet amazing 6 days 5 nights in bali
