Other Things N Stuff

It was in February this year that I managed to get my hand on ASRAMA:2 by Muhammad Fatrim as for my commission by FIXI. Like I said in previous review and thought on the first one, for this second book too, I read whole of the book to work on the commission - for what the visual will be for the cover. Again. I would like to thank you to FIXI and the author, Muhammad Fatrim for the opportunity given. And I hope I did my best... Note, this is my solid thought on this book as an visual artist, blogger, and a reader only. Sorry for my broken English as I'm trying here.. So for the cover. The old one is on the left, and to be honest I feel scary a bit looking at it when I started to read it, and else it was does make me wonder what with the birthday cake? While the new one by me, I choose to go with different theme and it's originally in purple but the author wants it to be in blue - which I'm okay with, as long no changes in my illustration. And thanks to that, it does looks mo...

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.

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...

It's Thursday now. Considered it passed 12am, and it's 2am writing this. Last Monday, date - 1st July 2024. Time flies so fast, and I'm not the only one that feel this. I believe many too. And I went with my parents for their meeting with their client, while I just needed to go along since I have small plan for myself. For books.. Woke up at 7am, I decided to go with one of my bawal, my headscarf - which I bought months ago.... Wear for the first time, in July. Not my first bawal, but for the design is. Monday, who likes it, like. But some who don't, don't. I like all. Last Monday was still sleepy for me but I got my sleep for few hours. We headed straight to the meeting first thing first, which far from our home. That's why I woke up at 7am just to get ready for the day. I decided to follow because I needed to get few books after accidentally on something sooo just take it as my gift or reward to myself. Meeting went like an hour, usually for this client. Then ...
