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...

New!

I started blogging as long ago, But, here I am, again, with new page. I deleted my old one, but regret it now (haha). I shouldn't have deleted it. Instead, I just should have updated it!. Feel really bad now ugh. But too late.. So I'll be blogging same as in old one, but no artwork stuff related - I just wanna put out something that simple but uhmm not so simple, from writing side (haha). So, I hope I can keep up (!).

Book: Asrama By Muhammad Fatrim

On January this year, FIXI emailed me for a commission. It took me few minutes to accept the offer. As the result, almost a week later I received their books together with one I got commissioned for last year - my first one from other author. I got 4 books in total, 3 of them by another author. I know, I need to read them 3, started with the first one, best selling ASRAMA by Muhammad Fatrim. And here I'm going to put some of my thought about it. For first, I'm honoured to be part of the book, for the new cover I got commission for last January, and thank you so much for the opportunity FIXI.  This was my most challenging one when come to illustrate for a cover. And while in process, I got little bit pressure than before. Since it needs to be 'girls' vibe and feel but dark. I did my best although a bit I feel like if I can deliver it much better.. But, so far, most fans and FIXI's family like it, I'm ok with that. Alhamdulillah.. The new cover on the right in red...
