Jawa rawks!

Meet Azizan Talkis in his solo art exhibition debut, -'New Man', at House of MataHati Art Gallery, Ampang. Azizan Talkis is the 4th HOM residency artist, and the exhibition will continue until 18th October 2009. Click here.

Azizan Talkis aka Jawa is one of my best buddies back in the univ years, where he also was consistently being my room mate for 5 semesters. We share the same passion, which is art, off course.

In a simple description, Azizan is an another Leonardo Da Vinci which is trapped in a small Javanese guy's body. He is a fully spirited artist, who really believe his faith on his art. It's true that I still admire him for that.

So hurry up guys, let's visit the exhibition and celebrate our own Malaysian new artist!
Good kickstart,bro!!

Raja Bersiong (The Fanged King). A popular Malaysian legendary character taken from Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa. The king was known as Raja Ong Maha Perita Deria who lived during ancient Kedah kingdom. He has a very unique culinary appetite-craved for human blood. One day, his cook accidentally cut his finger while preparing for the king's meal but later, the king found the dish to be very tasty. He used force upon the cook to find out about the secret to the tasty meal. The cook was not left with a choice but to reveal that the secret ingredient was the drip of blood from his finger that fall into the dish. From thereon, the king sacrificed his subjects in order to get the human blood to be added to his meal. But later he was hunted down for his atrocity.

Cartoon-ish Thingy

My cartoons entries for an international cartoon contest. The subject is 'a car' and 'future car'. I think I can't win any of those prizes as the contest has a strong sense of editorial cartoon styles, where I'm in nature aren't. Editorial cartoon usually is a type of cartoon that simple in form and styles, yet have very sharp and strong punch in delivering its message.

I think I'm really stuck between two of them, - comic and cartoon styles. Not neither is excelled. hmm what the heck, this contest is a fun challenge anyway.

Illustration Friday - Flawed

A boy trying to fix up his 'flawed' cyborg girl. The cyborg is inspired from a Kate Micucci pic, which she's wearing a wolf on her head. Besides to put the same animal theme, I chose to use bunny instead of wolf as her headgear. Albeit weird, but the idea to put animal on your head is quite inspiring and cool~. Something kind of self character-expression I think.

Forgive me for the sketchy and unfinished look as am too lazy to finish anything lately. The topic is 'flawed' anyway... so I assume it just do the work. Hoho.. how escapist I am. Still, I'm still weak in colouring, thus I'm convincing myself that I'll do many colouring exercises in the future..(sigh, yeah really...).
