Some Thoughts: Studio Corner

On April, I got down on something that happened at near end of March.



Excuse the mess. It's not a studio without some mess, isn't it?

As I'm taking my time, back off from my usual self, I just feel like, the need to moved on with what had happened. True is, it was hard one... I talked to a friend, and my lil sis. I don't know what happened but I started to feel much better. And it somehow gave me this kind of energy. Where I started to feel like, I need to do something with my studio corner. Which is, small. Really... But I think it's the best one.

I have this feeling. To be a charismatic artist kind. Well, trying. I still feel like I'm a small traditional artist, that still trying... Trying with my art. My style and my way. Since that's all I know when come to myself. Else, crafting. Yes, I made handmade accessories. Well, can't wait to get back to it, after July!

I decided to redo my studio, by setting up my "walls". A divider..? It's a panel by it's net like (?). Then I got myself few cardboards, plastic ones.. Just so I can cover it all. Because I wanted it to feel like a room. With the corner I choose......? Which there's high windows, I just needed it to be as I have in my mind. Since it's just a small corner and not so spacious, to make it a bit spacious, I decided to relocate all my stuff for my indoor plants. And added a couch. My plan was to have a 1 person couch from living room set, but I got for 2. Since big brother got a L couch from his friends.. So I feel like why not. And it was the toughest part of setting up my studio. It took time, I scrubbed it, washed it with not much amounts of water. Soap and brushes. And got back ache later... 2 days later, set the couch. With my bohemian blanket, and a patterned black and white pillow. More like a cushion? It's small.


With all set, I rearranged all my materials.

Mostly my pens. Marker pens, drawing colour pens, ballpoint pens with various of brand and size of nibs. Pencil colours, couple of brands. Paper with various of sizes. Used brushes and unused for most. I set new rack, for all of those materials. Couple of.. actually a dustbin, but with their size and design, I set all paper in it. Including my detailed illustrations. Ones that finish and ones that justtt abandoned... Maybe I'll get to them and finish it, any of day..

And when all set and done, I just had this feeling where, this is what I will be doing stuff. My artwork, commission, and reading - which new thing, that I found, maybe it's what I meant to do, should do, or involve with..? With my artwork, illustration to be part of author's works..? I still wonder, if it meant to be.. While that behind my mind, still new in the field, I just want to do things - drawing, reading, and writing blog, slowly. Feel no rush, like I used to, back when I was in visual art scene.. I want my studio corner to be cozy. With few lights, and few more stuff still need to be done, I think I'll get how I want my studio corner be. Not to forget, the brick wall - house wall, I hang my latest (I can say that) my A1 size drawing, from 2020.. I think I need to get an A2 panel boards and another A1. Just need it for my latest series.

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...
