Grace Duan’s illustration for “Happily Ever After Is So Once Upon A Time”

Written by: Yixian Quek
Illustrations by: Grace Duan Ying – http://dygrace.carbonmade.com/
Design by: Sharon Tan

This project shed light on issues children generically face within their fantasies which in turn reflect problems in their life. I feel that children often engage in escapism. Helping illustrate this made me recall childhood memories and better understand what I felt at that point of my life. Illustrating and drawing is the way I express myself even in my free time. Working with the writer was a privilege because I could connect with her work. My best work always comes from circumstances I can connect with.

HP TouchPad launch/ OIC Portraits After Dark @ Klapsons The Boutique Hotel

We were invited to the special event for HP’s TouchPad launch at the Klapsons The Boutique Hotel on 26th July. Due to the smaller space allocated to us – we have to be very selective and handpick 12 “spartans”/artists to show the crowd what a portrait event by OIC is all about!

We had a wonderful time pleasing the crowd! First time we had such an intense 1 to 1 kind of session and we were very pleased that even our new comers Xin Nie and Sharon took the challenge very well! There were also many queries about OIC and what we do.

We hope to do more such sessions especially with brands like HP that believes in giving local talents opprotunities to shine.

Thanks to Hsu Wei and the HP team, Pat Law and the GoodStuph crew , Edelman, PMG Asia and of course our specially handpicked team from OIC that make this event fun and memorable!

Here is the event video

Mindflyer’s “Razor Blade Glider” for Kult Magazine

My contribution for a new series by Kult magazine on strange facts about animals. The fact I have chosen is “A snail can even go over a razor blade without getting hurt!”
The snail is a fascinating creature to me, the way it moves , the strange antennae and the mobile home on its back! For this piece- I want to make the snail like some nocturnal alien from space, showing off its magic over a razor. Thanks to Kult magazine crew! You can see more of my work at www.mindflyer.com.

a fashion illustration: Goddess Chambre × Nataliette

here’s a fashion illustration that i was recently commissioned to do for GODDESS CHAMBRE, a shoes bags and accessories boutique. everything i love! the client also let me draw anything i wanted so i just experimented a little away from my usual style. the only thing my client asked was to have an illustrated girl to be the face of Goddess Chambre. the artwork was also adapted for a 2fold business card design, which i designed as well.

linework and colouring done in illustrator, then ported to photoshop to make it pop more with loose highlights and shadows.

clickthrough to see more! you can also follow my art and illustrations at THEANGRYHEDONIST.COM/BLOG.

Nataliette goes back in time…

Ola OIC! This is my very first post on here… so pardon any awkwardness please?

I’m Nataliette and I’m a designer who likes to draw. I do mainly digital illustrations as I seldom like to get my hands dirty, but occasionally I do enjoy rubbing charcoal on paper. My most revered idols would be Salvador Dali and Oscar Wilde.

Here’s some of my old work done during artschool and secretly doodling when I was supposed to be listening to my lecturers…

DESPERATION FOR A MUSE by nataliette. charcoal on paper, 2005.

RE CYCL ED LOVE by nataliette. markers and ink on sketchbook, 2006.

THEY WERE CRYING WHEN THEIR SONS LEFT by nataliette. ink on sketchbook, 2006.

REACHING FOR THE COOKIE JAR by nataliette, 2007. pencil and ink on sketchbook.

Sometimes when I feel jaded or completely uninspired, I like to flip through my old sketchbooks and kind of travel back in time to reopen the eyes of that naivete and enthusiastic younger artist in me.

My recent artistic ventures are much much different from those now (and I realise, quite sadly, that these are much less varied).
Here are some little samples.
Claudine & Clementine by Nataliette Leg oHam by Nataliette Crying over Spilt Milk by Nataliette That Snobby Harvard Cousin by Nataliette Bring Me Back to Life by Nataliette Cloudiness by Nataliette As Cunning by Any Other Name by Nataliette Heirs of the Clown by Nataliette
