Artwork framed!

This is my newly framed "Miss Panic"!

I love how clean it looks, and it's a nicely done frame though the guy in the frame shop could not stop teasing me for drawing a nude woman, maybe it didn't look quite connected as I am an average normal looking Asian girl. (girl?) I just thought maybe I should at least expose tits as this is for a porn graphical art collective, I'm not that fetish you see...

It is going to be sent to Zurich for upcoming Pornsaints exhibition at Museum of Porn in Art, sounds really exciting, I wonder what do they exhibit usually?!

Z is for Zombie prince

So, this is the last letter for Illustration Rally's Alphabet theme!

I couldn't come up with anything other than zombies for Z, I don't think anyone could come up with something different, don't you agree?

One of the things I was surprised by while living in England was how much English people love zombies. I wasn't a big fan of zombies or zombie films but I think I got warmer to them now, I loved Shaun of the Dead, I was annoyed by the kids in 28 weeks later, Lesbian Vampire Killers was one of the crappiest film I've ever watched, hmm? It wasn't even a zombie film, I guess zombies take my fancy slightly more.

(checking 28 weeks later's website wasn't a good idea by the way...)

Sketchbook Magazine issue 2

Here I am, I still have something to write, I wasn't just laying down in my bed and wetting my pillow with my mouth water thorough the previous weeks.

Long time ago, I think that was last year, I visited Sketchbook Magazine's office in London for showing my portfolio. I was surprised and inspired by how young the editors are and their passion and talent. Sketchbook Magazine is a quality magazine with fantastic eye candy, it showcases established and emerging creative talents in fashion, design and culture with a focus in features, photography and illustration.

They just published their issue 2 which I contributed a series of illustration featuring Nick Knight's SHOWstudio, it was a fun project and I really enjoyed drawing the costumes designed by Gareth Pugh. Hope you enjoy it too...

Happy Journey Collective

It is rainy Saturday which forces me to blog...

Last Friday, the project called Happy Journey Collective was launched. It's started by 3 lovely illustrators, Thereza Rowe, Lesley Barnes and Abi Daker coming up with the idea of creating imaginative illustrated coffins, they invited illustrators/artists and made it into a wonderful and positive collective.

The artists participating in the collective are wonderful, including Simon Wild, uberkraaft, Jo Cheung, and Emma Cowley.

I participated with a piece called "Tempus Fugit" inspired by Mexico's festival of death.

They are also open for commissions through their flickr group so why don't you give it a go?

Lovely girl from a planet of Blur

Saying "twitter is awesome!!" or "twitter is the best!!!" would put many people off probably and I'm not going to say that. But I must admit I met so many wonderful people through it, and Nadya Saskia is one of them! She is from Jakarta and totally crazy about Blur, she is the reason why I drew Damon Albarn for Illustration Rally.

I took part in her postcard project in which she sends a diy postcard to people who want it, they'll receive the postcard weeks later and they take a picture of themselves with the postcard or just the postcard alone. They send the photos to her and she compiles them into a zine!

Sounds awesome doesn't it?

and this is what I've done for her! I can't wait to see her completed zine...

Be a strong woman

I just sent a drawing off for the Photography and Art competition at the Birdcage gallery in Norwich today. I didn't have much time for it so the original image is quite small (5"x7") but I had a little bit of playing around with my scanned image, which I'm hoping that you like.

The theme was circus so I was doing some research but I was really struggling to get any inspiration, when I finally came up with the idea, bondage (I'm not sure how I was going to connect it with the theme circus) my idea even went worse and couldn't get any roughs done. Despite the fact the photographs of Nobuyoshi Araki I was looking at were incredibly inspirational, sexy and passionate.

Anyways, I gave up on drawing bondage and started to draw a juggler but my other half suggested to me to look up Strong men, (I never heard of this before...) and I quite liked the idea so this's what happened in the end.
