Two unrelated stories to share here. One from Cynthia. One from me.
What is seat chopping? For those who live in Singapore, we all know what this means. For my overseas readers, no, we don’t literally chop seats here. We simply don’t chop anything in Singapore. Not even the trees. We move or relocate the trees [...]

Some readers shared with me that it is fun watching the slide show of the behind-the-scene footage on how I draw. Since we have already established the fact that each object of my recent drawings is formed with rationale, I shall focus on the story behind this drawing and showcase the behind-the-scene footage instead.
Some of you may recall [...]

Composition of Bleeding Heart And The Thread Of Fate
November 19th, 2009 2 Comments
I wonder if painters explain their works under normal circumstances, or let the viewers, big time critics to figure out what the artworks really mean, the inspiration that was behind the drawings. Like Michelangelo’s “The Creation of Adam”. Did he explain to the then media that the blob behind the painting of God is indeed a brain? [...]

Working Title: Bleeding Heart And The Thread of Fate
November 18th, 2009 9 Comments
This, could be quite a significant piece of drawing. One that pivots my art direction. It is the first time I explore different perspectives by rotation. You should be able to see four faces (by rotation), and a subject with at least four different objects. Why ‘at least’? This kind of abstract art, I won’t [...]

Working Title: Make-Up

The working title of this drawing of mine is “Make-Up”, inspired by what you will see in just a bit. This drawing does not have the complexity in terms of meaning like that big turtle drawing. So, please don’t think too hard on this one. If you have the bandwidth, try to decipher that puzzle [...]

See If You Can Solve This Puzzle … Kekeke
November 9th, 2009 No Comments
If you read Dan Brown, especially his latest work, this puzzle of mine should be cake. Your job is to replace the question marks with letters. Once you solve this, it would be great if you could drop a “I got it” comment here without sharing the answer. And I would love to hear what do [...]

Making Of “A God That Sleeps” (And The 9 Years Of Togetherness)
November 5th, 2009 19 Comments
I wish I could draw or make music for a living. But reality is not as such. My recent passion is to doodle. Simple composition, when I first started. Now, the drawing is getting more and more complicated. I wonder why.
Just when I was done with taking photos of this drawing, past midnight, Cynthia returned [...]

Snippet Of My Life Episode 23 – All Saints’ Day And The Ha Ha Ha
November 3rd, 2009 4 Comments
The working title of this drawing is “Body and Blood of Christ”, inspired by All Saints’ Day. Explanation of the composition is at the end of this post. Last Sunday morning, Cynthia asked while we finally settled down inside the Church, “Why this eagerness?” Nothing escapes her observation, on me. That’s scary. True, of all [...]

The Vegetarian
October 28th, 2009 23 Comments
The title of this doodle is “The Vegetarian”. Yes. One day I may look like that.
Recently, I have become a social meat eater. But why? Nothing as dramatic as quiting alcohol since January 2008. Of which, I still owe you a why. And I will. Meanwhile, why give up on meat?
A simple answer would be: romancing [...]
