Artwork: New Series

On Friday, I started to feel much better. And yesterday, I started my new drawing.

This new series appeared on 1st June, when I went to PBAKL 2024.

Not so big, but still, a bit smaller from A1 size. This maybe will have 2, and various of sizes gonna come along while working on this. A1 size always a challenge to me. Since 2013 where I decided to get serious with visual art, I managed to finish 2 of A1.. There was another that would be the third, but got dirty while pending on my a1 wood board.. I feel bad.. But, I rolled it already and now saved, collecting dust yet another addition to my collection..

I usually not mention what I see in my mind, what picture come out of nowhere when new illustration in making.

For this series, thing clicked - when I was at the event. Meet and greet with authors, specially with those that I work together for their books. It was.. Fun.. But the inspiration? I think as recalled, more to the energy and the vibes of the people there. It all just flow.. Loud, fun, the excitement, which I hardly get.. But it was like, pulled me to blend with all of them. And I realised days after, that I allowed myself just be myself when in crowds. Not easy to be fairly clear.. But that was it. I allowed myself..

I met people that I can call friends and circle. Some that I had known for few years now, since 2021. Some in contact through DM and newly met that day.. Some just last year.. It's all beautiful. I like that.. Even right now, I'm home, back to my routine until after July, or even after that, I still feels whatever I feels that day.. It was cool too.

This one, well, take times. But I want to enjoy the process and progress that I'll be making with it. While working on small sizes of other series. Yes, I have many of series.. I hope I'll be able to finish them all, and give them all the spotlight they deserved.

Book: Overthinking Tapi Buat-buat OK By Aqila Masri

I finally finished reading "Overthinking Tapi Buat-buat OK" by Aqila Masri (Overthinking But Acted OK) , published by IMAN Publication, last October. And let's see what my thoughts on this one. First of all, my view is just as from an artist, crafter and blogger, and as a reader... When this book published, to be honest I got caught by the title. I didn't plan on to get it like seriously, because I have this feeling to put aside what I can relate to the title. The word - "overthinking"... But as time past, I started to have the image of this book in mind, and it's repeating. So I feel it and said, "I need to have it" with wondering what the topics will be within. It was more like a calling from the book I could say. And early last month - September - I got it. First of all, the cover illustration - pretty. I love how the choice of the style from the artist. The work is beautiful. And give the visual to what's the book about. At the same tim...

Book: Mereka By Ariff Adly

After done with UNBOX, I decided to continue with MEREKA by same author. And I like more when come to it's cover artwork. Which a digital art. Bestselling too, MEREKA actually very unexpected for me and for most, it has something much darker compared to 2 other before. I read this on 3rd week of July. As usual, before I put my thoughts on this, I'm a visual artist-illustrator, crafter, a blogger, and all just my thoughts as a reader.. So.. Excuse my broken English or whatever I'm trying to put in words in here... MEREKA as in English, "them", in my view from the story plot, it should be "them". This one open not too slow and not too fast. The opening just as in reality of real life friendship, joking around, and life talking but with creepy things going on as usual, Ariff Adly... At first, this one makes me feel like this will be in reality without confusion and straightforward like that... I was wrong... In fact it somehow, put me in a place where I hav...

Some Thoughts: November

It's strange sometimes how I feel like time flies so fast specially at near end of the year. Now, already November. Interesting, isn't it? Writing this at midnight past 2am. Yes, I'm already sleepy but just feel like to blog out something I guess. I just done with my 2 days booth, which I'm selling my handmade accessories and jewellery - handcrafted by me, each one of them. And alhamdulillah this time was the best one. And I got home by Saturday night, and Sunday where whole body aches.. Still not getting used to it? I don't know but more to my body health conditions I think.. Currently, while booth or which I called "boothing" become my main focus, I too, still, reading books that I got for myself and current reading - "When You Think You're Falling: Holding On To God's Mercy To Keep Going" by Ameera Aslam, a Singaporean born author. And also, I started back with gardening few days ago, after long time... Well... Raining still the season...
