Lamy Pen Tutorial

Wow I didn’t know the nibs were changeable.. if only they had a proper Lamy stand in a decent bookstore (not even Kinokuniya!) that also distributes nibs, converters and etc. At least Noodler’s ink has appeared in Aesthetic Bay.

little squares..

….more women…

I’ve had an artistic fixation on women/girl subjects since I was a kid, couldn’t help but produce another set of cubes with femmes in them, a set of 3 each. One’s a continuous piece, another’s thematic idea of the three witches of lore.. we get the blue brunette harajuku queen, the platinum blonde 50s bombshell, and the cinnabar redhead Isis of Egyptian myth and culture.

Here’s the continuous piece, I made a split up version to show how it would look as its own, sectionally.

the remaining three of the evils

I think by the time you guys got the idea.

three wise monkeys

6in x 9in

Say no evil; See no evil; Hear no evil

There are other 3in x 3in tiles as well, 3 that have not been scanned in. Each of that individual tile represents one of the “three wise monkeys” idiom. Technically I did 9 3in x 3in tiles, and the one featured here has not been sliced up yet.

and a find about bass guitarists while I was sick http://musicnmovies4u.wordpress.com/2009/09/24/3-great-bass-players/

“gah my nose”

a drawing unrelated to this, i give you someone for you to stare back at meantime i am sick. and so is my scanner, but the trusty 2MP cameraphone never fails to capture something in its indie essence.. or whatever.

fret not i’ll keep posting soon and keep you all posted too. fun projects off work and at work will keep me at bay but sickness calls for a fight first.

happy zytecing!

and one for the road

during Sept OIC there was a random incident that happened, and was announced when I went off for a break and I came back wondering why a black book was sitting on a chair.

So Fredrick (did I spell his name right?) requested Mike that he would like to purchase “portraits” of his publication, The Idea Book (currently blank but with text inside it, haven’t had the opportunity to read that book).

So I drew an Ex Libris inspired artwork.. Bookplates of the past used to grace the first page of books, and I like to think of it as an avatar of the book’s owner/spirit.
This will be my variation of the Ex Libris: teh sEX LIBRIS, lolz. I like nymphy babes with confident sass of a Suicidegirl model…… because Z showed me his downloaded “pron”.. of the Suicidegirls. I really have no awesome sense of posing and this doodling was ultimately random and spontanously unintended, part of the subliminal cortex of the brain I daresay.

i am immensely inspired by the art of Ex Libris bookplates of antiquity and some art noveau stuff.

Hope you like this poorly taken picture, was shot with my crappy camera phone. It had to be taken before it got sent off to Mike. If it is selected, I hope to get a nice scan/or an extra opportunity to fine-tune or embellish it. Love the idea of drawing “portraits of a book”. Keep your fingers crossed too kekeke ^^

it’s been a long time

b/w painting self-imaginatory lighting study. no ref ued.. just seeing if i still got my gears cranking.

looks like it is high time for actual study work! *grinds*

cheap as it sounds, but this is also dedicated to a friend Z who always tells me not to be a loser and reminds me to exercise some reselience and discipline with my craft. my first almost modest serious painting man! in a long time again, man.

fantasy gender role switching

The blog post title sounds innocuously risque.. but it is not!

1. The hookah-smoking Caterpillar of Alice in the Wonderland as a Chang’e inspired refernce.

2. 50’s do chambermaid who will “grant your every wish” after you rub her lamp.

3. Hungry Frog Prince donning a long Lady Gaga wig and pink gloves that beheave like a tongue.. not really. Even girls donned in fat toad clothing have to eat – it has to look gorgeously pink and sparkly.
