Face of a Man
December 28, 2008
Photoshop. ~3 hours.
Wanted to do something along the lines of grand theft auto concept art. Attempted landscape painting last night. It went okay but I gave up do draw faces instead. I can’t stop with faces.
(dang. in retrospect the ears are lighting up the picture.)
Hope one day I can be good enough to paint all the visions of alternate reality swimming in my head.

These photos from Eikin, clubsnap moderator makes me feel so awe-inspired and proud of my neighbourhood suddenly. The photos were all taken from humble Punggol. The quality of work is astounding and no less.

caffeine analog: stylus + wacom tablet + corel painter
Nat geo photog William Albert Allard exploited dramatic side light and captured the open & engaging gaze of a little boy. So captivating, i was inspired to do a rough rendering. Shall revisit this if time permits.
On an another note, itunes suddenly sprung up nostalgia good times with old hits and one song that reminds me why i like indie again is The Room (Four Tets & A Manitoba remix)
Hello noise we love you.
Stomach upset.

Yes, decided to use hortparkpotluck photo series in the end. Yesterday over at Udder’s, they suggested using the photo of the swing at Hortpark. Perhaps, more memorable as the one justine gave a ??? face. And we would blank out her face. Flash a caption “You can be the one.” or “Do you have what it takes?”
Something along the lines. It was a laugh. Think i’ll go more formal with this one. Shuyan won’t you love it if D&D was at 6pm.6dec.2006.

And I found something while uploading the picture. This cover illustration.

Dahlgaard Soren – The Breathing Room
“The Breathing Room, subtly, but precisely articulates a space..the walls of the room expand, the room gets smaller, and then they contract, like an exhalation, an apparent release of air. Similar to a living being the expansion and contraction take on a rhythm. It begins to match our own breath’s cadence… We either leave, clautrophobic, or we stand on our ground intent on having this new experience.”
I left the room.
But I must say, i was extremely baffled when I entered the room, wondering if the walls were really moving. Because I could hear something inhaling and exhaling and it was pretty scary initially.
Erlich Leandro – Hair Salon
Of the two opposing rows of mirrors, one of the rows was an imposter!
“The installation is devised so that when you look into mirror on the wall, it appears as if the room is reflected in the mirror, but in fact, there is an identical room that has been created symmetrically behind the mirror. The mirror is used as a trick, a device to surprise people and to pose an interesting question about reality and illusion.”
Having some time to spare before I met up with xiaoyan, I hurried to City Hall. There were more exhibits here, but more of paintings and less of installations.
Already on the first day this artpiece (above) was labelled with a red sticker. I liked it too.
Pham, Ngoc Duong – Maggots
One of the highlights.
“Trapped inside with the maggots, we find ourselves occupying a site of both gross fascination and unyielding discomfort. It is precisely the artwork’s ability to discomfit, that it succeeds.”
This is not part of The Biennale, but stilll!! This is meant to hold umbrellas! You insert your umbrella handle into the space, and press the side button. The key, which is the shape of an enlarged SD card, pops out and there you have it.
Alot of them were missing keys, so now you know why this invention didn’t last long.

My first girl, on airbrush. Was thinking of Stanley “Artgerm”’s works as I painted this. http://artgerm.deviantart.com/art/Pepper-Sketch-II-25878434
Aspires to draw & paint as well as him one day:D I’ve still a long long way to go, but at least i’m on the move. I regretted not making full use of my time when interning at IFS last year. Now the chance has passed, i can only work hard now so as to not to let myself and everyone who believes in me down.
