A while back I had an offer to print an artbook in order to promote a newly opened printing service. They requested 152 pages of artworks, which is pretty much gave me a heart-breaking revelation: That I dont have 152 pages worth of artworks!!!!

What the heck was I doing all these years? Have I been slaving to clients that I dont even have enough artworks I could proudly present as "my own"?

Tragic.

So I ended up in a situation where I will do nothing else but create! My deadline to submit "152" pages was in 3 days since my offer... Sounds impossible but It had to be done for my sanity's sake.

Fortunately for me I got another 2 days extension to work things out... I had to keep churning out new artworks and expanding on some old ones within the short timeframe. 3/5 days I kept wanting to give up, but thankfully I've gotten a lotta push and support from the people around me.

In the end, having to create 20 new pieces in 5 days is ridiculous... So eventually I negotiated to reduce my page count to around 96.

Voila! I have my very own artbook! with plenty of new works to upload on this blog :)

here's the cover artwork

Rainbow Riot!

Haha it's been over two months since my last update! It actually takes more effort for me to get my lazy-ass up and promote my works via social media than actually creating works. I wish I had the luxury of hiring someone to do the uploading/updating for me!

Ah well as for travelling, it seems i've gotten used to my Bali - Singapore lifestyle already. Not as exhausted as I used to be... in fact its been fueling my creativity!

So here's whats new at the the moment!
This project I've been working on sometime last year, it was to create psychedelic prints for Josiah Chua's lastest collection CAPSULE, ☾☄★ RAINBOW RIOT.
 
Josiah and I were interns at CATALOG MAGAZINE many years back. He was an intern stylist while I was an intern graphic designer. We spent many cheeseburger sessions bouncing ideas back and forth. So naturally I had a lotta fun doing these, mainly cause we knew what we love to create already!
