Sketchwalk this saturday

For this month’s sketchwalk, we will be meeting at Kampong Glam Cafe at 930am. You may have your breakfast and teh halia there or at neighbouring cafes. You may spread out in any direction you like but return to the Kampong Glam Cafe at 12.30pm for show and tell. To get there, you could get off at Bugis MRT station, walk up towards Raffles hospital, cross the road diagonally toward the Arab Street/Kampong Glam area. Some highlights are the Sultan Mosque, textile shops, Haji lane, and laid-back coffeeshops. More on Arab street here: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g294265-d324757-Reviews-Arab_Street-Singapore.html

See you there!

纸上谈兵 (mere paper talk) for art of rebellion “workflow”

This print was made in reference to a character in Stanley Kubrick’s “Full Metal Jacket”.

It is a vietnam war film featuring a group of marines life during that period.
Private Joker was the protagonist, always boasting about being a killing machine, teaching others how to get hookers,
when he never had any actual experience – he was merely a war journalist soldier.

I thought he fit the description of 纸上谈兵 (mere paper talk) pretty well, and decided to do a paperdoll painting showing his various facial expressions,
quotable quotes, and ironic personality.

i painted the characters and body parts separately, then scanned and combined them on the computer.

This art work is part of the “The Art of Rebellion: 造反有理 “ exhibiton organised by StudioKALEIDO ( http://www.studiokaleido.net )
