Blank Canvas

Hey there..

Can't believe  I've been leaving this favorite part of my life (painting) for quite long. Not really that long actually, but it's long enough to make me losing any inspiration to draw. My job seems monopoly my times and my brain so much. (that's such a bad excuse I know :S), but if I can share my problem a little bit.. I've been currently struggling at work lately.. Not because I hate my job, I love my job.. I finally can chase my dream and working there is a right bridge for sure. But I.. well it's actually WE (me and team) are having some issue with our new Creative Director. And we're still dealing with her attitude. Short story, now I'm trying to prove her that we're capable and that slowly makes me forget about my real passion. And that's not healthy, I know. 

I actually tried to draw something.. Lately ethnicity seems interesting for me. Not the traditions or the culture, but the people. I'm so amazed how everybody in this whole wide world is so different. We're so colorful. And our colors should've not make bridges between us, Our colors and differences should make us realize that this world is not as bad as we thought. God made us beautiful and I'm gonna show my gratitude with my paintings of them. I started it with a drawing of an old man from Tibet that I haven't finished it 'till now. Too bad..

Anyways, I bought a canvas and the holder several months a go. Now I always feel bad everytime I come home and find my canvas is still blank, all white.

Ì really need god of creativity and god of inspiration to collaborate with meee!! Bring them back to my brain!

Cool Granny: Linda Rodin

An everlasting Fashion Stylist, and Beauty Entrepreneur, Linda Rodin always inspires me with her edgy, fresh, and fun outlooks. This true New Yorker always knows how to dressed well and how to make herself look amazing every day. Without too much attributes (maybe if she should, she can tell Iris Apfel about the art of "Less is More"), she successfully can make herself look 20 years younger! She's the perfect example that Fashion doesn't have to be limited by age, and Beauty is not always coming from young-fresh skins. Who needs botox if you can walk with style, like she does?
Picture
“You can be sexy and elegant without being over the top. At the end of the day everybody wants to look elegant. Sometimes they just don't know how.”

“I don't buy designer clothing for myself,” Rodin adds, “I’d never spend $3000 on a handbag. Ever! I refuse.”

“I look at my pictures when I was younger and go: God, why didn't I realize I was so cute? But I see myself now as that little old lady with long hair and wrinkles and think: 'And what's so wrong with that?'”

Kaleidoscope Dream

Have you ever dreamt about something weird which you can't explain it with any kind of logic? Most of my nights filled with that kind of dream. Last night I became a bird flies on the ocean, chasing the waves. The night before it, I got lost in a never where with zillion stars in the sky and glow-in-the-dark rainbow fountain in front of me. I might dream of colorful garden with singing flowers all around. Everything seems so magical and psychedelic which I love so much.

Hundreds Clothes in One Week

12/23/2012

It's been the busiest week of the year for me. Me and team had to do photo shoot for Fairground and House of Wilde's new collection.  It's nothing until we found out that we have to shoot 500 pieces of cloth for website catalog. It could be damn tiring, but thank God for an awesome team and fun moments during photo shoot. They definitely eased the weight!

Doodle Not Drugs

Thursday noon at work. This is what we , --Indonesians usually call "Magabut".  It means doing nothing at work but still get paid. It doesn't mean I don't have anything to do, I just done my tasks and have to wait until the d-day when I'll get crazy busy at the photo shoot location next week. I was browsing for hours to find fashion trends and stuffs (that's what we usually do if we don't have anything else to do) and I found one photo post from The Coveteur and it says "Doodle Not Drugs".  Not so sure why they use cigarettes to represent drugs but it's still a good concept overall, especially for Anti Drugs Campaign. 

As all we already know, lots of young people now a days hard to find passion of things and choose to run to negative ways instead, for example into drugs.  And I think, all they need to do is distracting themselves from bad habits and getting themselves busy by finding their abilities to do such of great things like building small business, making musics, and/or creating arts.  Art is the easiest way to start. Creativity is a gift we got since we were born, that makes each person has potential to be an artist. Some people realized about it and find their ways to develop the gift they got, while others choose different ways. It worked on me. Drawing is a gift I thought I won't ever have, but since I recklessly tried it for the first time, I keep carrying this on and (thank God) I got lots of positive responses from others. 

Now move your ass, grab your old crayons and start doodling, because it possibly works on you too. GOOD LUCK!

Hi, great people! As I told you on my last post, I'm gonna post some pictures of my new place. It's still a mess actually, I can't find time to clean everything up but I love my new place. It's small, but so comfy and homey! Big wide windows and purple wall are my most favorite parts so far.

I took the picture above, right before I painted the right side wall.

Not even a fan of purple, but I'm glad I made a right decision. I love my new wall, it's fashionably lovely!

Oh! Hello, Cous! (My cousin moves in with me. She owns upstair. Looks like she loves it so much. Ha!)

There. My territory. Still waiting for my sofa bed, need to add this and that, clean  shits up, and re-arrange stuffs.

Not All Art Is Created Equal

My weekend was awesome! I went to Indonesia's first art battle that was held at Mantra, Seminyak. As quoted, art battle is a live painting event that introduces a novel way for the audience to participate in the conversation between artist and culture. Five local and international artists (Arief Bachtiar, Rik Lee, Stuart Smythe, Stacy Hamer, Natisa Jones, and Inés Katamso) were being given 2 hours to contemplate, concept, and attack their board or canvas in a bid to best represent a common theme announced to them by Mantra's discerning Judging Team.
They were being voted by the audience, and ended up with Ines Katamso winning the battle. It was awesome, the artists were goddamn great, it's really inspiring especially for me. I need to learn and practice harder and more. Probably I could join the battle one day :D :D

Wall Doodling

I slept over at Dui's 2 days a go. She has this grey big wall on one side of her studio that we can doodle anything we want over there with crayons. She asked me to draw something there and I can tell you that it might not my best drawing but it was really fun! I want to do it again hopefully soon!

Anyways, I just moved to my new place and I love it so much. It's still messy but I'll post some pictures over here, maybe tomorrow. xx

She BANGS, She BANGS!

I used to have bangs since high school and it somehow became my trademark but I decided to grow it 2 years a go. It was okay but then I was too bored with my long messy hair and considered to cut my bangs lately and I finally did it yesterday. I'm at work right now and surprisingly my boss loves my new look. He said that I look different, --better different and somehow look like a pop star, 60's pop star. What funny is how his mood turned to happy all of sudden everytime he meets me and sees my new hair and he commented about it over and over again. And I gladly took that as a compliment hahaha. Bangs (or maybe you call it "Fringe"), I need to get used to this again.
