This short write-up was done last year, after a visit to Zeng Fanzhi’s solo art exhibition “Idealism” at SAM, at the request of my teacher.
In “Mask” series No. 9, 1996. Two men are sitting on a small sofa, a bulldog at their feet. All three are facing the viewer. The two men are dressed in [...]
Toshiya, the bassist of Dir en grey. Painted for last year’s end-of-year grading. And no it is a he, not she.
Tried to do a cubist painting. It is hard, dammit! The painting is limited to two sets of complimentary colors. I’ve never tried that before, bu I don’t think it looks too bad.
I was resizing the scanned image in photoshop when I accidentally pressed command+i, and look what I got…
This is just the inverse of [...]
Done in watercolour around the same time as this piece. I admit that most of my time was spent on the petals, and so the center of the flower is not as good as it could have been.
Close up…
Batik.In case you don’t know, batik is done by applying melted wax on cloth, and then dipping it into dye (in this case I painted the colors on). A very messy business.
And some close-up shots:
A bookmark design, supposed to be about the role of women in society. It is so obviously feminist.
Screenshot taken quite some time back, when my old computer was still functioning. I was playing around with my then newly purchased tablet, trying out things I could do with it. I know the girl’s eye looks a [...]
DON’T laugh.
This was supposed to be a self-portrait. Until I realised that the person in the picture is so totally not me.
Was asked by a friend to do a poster for a basketball competition that he’s organising. (But sadly, that idea was not realised, as predicted by Jaye). I was given 4 days to do this, and it was during a period when there were lots of tests, quizzes and SIAs due. I did everything–like, everything–the [...]
Done as prep work for coursework way back in January. I darkened the colors in photoshop because in the original scanned image you could barely see the lines.
Done in black pen on the night before grading. I don’t have much to say about this one. Cross-hatching takes a lot less time than paint and its finishing is a lot cleaner than pencil. The best medium if you want to do last minute work.
