Some Thoughts: What's Your Truth

Since mid last year, I started to notice something. Something that deep, and I learnt from it since, practice it, although not that easy.


We heard many times of quote.

Some of us hold on to some of it. Some of us hold on to it and practice it. When come to write something, even a thought on something such as issue or matter, I just had a hard time to do so. Like, using direct words. I couldn't do it back then. It was so hard. Maybe I'm not used to it.. But late last year, I've been noticing something with how interaction with direct and straightforward.. Somehow.. Much better.. More of human.

I'm not used to when comes to write something. Be it on my blog or my IG story - which most personal space that I feel like safe..? While doing so, I answered a QnA sticker from an art platform. They asked me "why I go for detailed illustrations?", since my answer before was that I'm abstract artist turned detailed one. I took time to answer the question.. and my answer was, which part of it, "....to be honest with oneself is a need in doing what I want to do..". I never thought that would be my answer..

Reason why that was my answer, because a quote that hold. "May the truth set you free" - when come to this quote people often think about truth for crime cases and such like only. But as I learnt about myself and dealing with ups and downs in life, this quote is deep. It's not only for that kind of truth, but starting from self truths. It's the truth of you being who and how you are. The truth of thinking, mentally, feeling, emotionally, spiritually, personally and even how care you are doing things you passion about, be it in your job or work, towards your friends and circle, towards family, towards issues with your own opinion, towards everything. That's the truth of you, that's you only know - and it's what I've been doing and holding on with myself.

Just a bit different, I said "may my truth set me free". In learning still about validation and being human, as myself, my real me. So I can feel okay to write and use the exact word, in the future.. Hope so. With my own pace, like every one has.

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: 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...
