Browsing Copy at Asylum 10

Apologies for the earlier posts. Picture got too huge. Still a bit of an idiot with WordPress. Will learn. Here we go… Browsing Copy exhibition at Asylum. This is a wonderful project curated by Roy from Beautiful. He got this idea to give new lives to browsing copies from bookshops by selected artists, designers design collectives and illustrators worldwide to rework the books in their own distinctive styles. It’s a travelling exhibition which first debut at the recent Singapore Design Festival 09. Artists include Kate Gibb(UK), Sam Hisey(USA), Phunk Studio(SG), myself and many more.

Check out the beautifully designed website by Kilo Studios for more info. Enjoy!

Silly observation #1-Supermarket trolley

Ever notice the supermarket trollet sometimes ends up in the most unlikely places

Interesting article by Jillian Tamaki about context, creativity and style regarding Fine Art and Illustration.

You realize how much of creativity is simply exploring things that perplex you or that you’re curious about. Didactics come later. Or, perhaps, full meanings are discovered through the process of creation.

Kick-ass creative brief

Take your favourite film and re-imagine it in the form of a comic, within a six-frame panel. Entries will stand a chance of being published in a special 16 page digital edition of LWLies. More details HERE. Thanks to Michele / Culturepush for this info.

Back to Jago Close for breakfast again…

Great fried carrot cake, the Chinese type.

Blankanvas 3rd anniversary party

lighting studies

these were based on photo books at the library during oic draw-at-the-library. Since the library is rather careful about what you bring in to the reference section, I just brought the minimum compact tools. And I had to be careful not to spray any ink on their expensive books! Mornings are the best times as it doesn’t get crowded yet. Join us next time. Ballpoint/pencil + brush and ink.

In case you have not heard about him- he is the co-founder of Push Pin Studios and the creator of the “I ♥ NY logo” and a very successful designer and ILLUSTRATOR ………. he is still practising his craft  ( 80yrs old !!)
He has influenced alot of illustrators and designers for many years and if you know his work you can still see traces or homage to this master even today!
