I got this lovely customised photo album for New Years few years ago from Ksenia. Thank you!

I didn't have many photos to fill it in with though. So it waited around for better times...

Until I thought of collecting pills, medicinal ones. I love their minimal "design" and different colours and shapes and the fact that they are so miniscule.

A5

2011-06-19T18:47:00.001-07:00

Here's my A5 "business card" for our final exhibition. It's A5 because our catalogue is A5. Or rather there is no catalogue - visitors are supposed to collect everyone's cards into a little A5 folder and make their own catalogue. A genius idea, if only it actually worked.

The cards were supposed to be hole punched on the side, which became the basis for my illustration.

I got a pack of them in Amsterdam, but didn't have a pot big enough to plant them all (they should be 10 cm apart). Have to do a time lapse of it, since it grows so fast.

NEIGHBOUR

2011-03-02T15:54:00.000-08:00

Something odd happened to James and me. We were working on Mtv at his place when we heard a knock on the door. It appeared to be an elderly man 70 years of age or so. He told us his brother used to be James' neighbour, before he died end of last year. When his brother died, the Council claimed the flat and somehow locked him out by changing the locks while he wasn't there. He left his bags and coat in the flat and couldn't get back in unless he climbed through James' slippery balcony on the fifth floor. Which he luckily did. He then offered us to come over and have a look.
The flat remained unchanged for 60 years it seemed before people from the Council took out most valuables. He was offering to take whatever we liked, including an 18th century piano, since verything would be thrown out anyway. This is what I ended up with.

I've only cleaned everything up few days ago, and was shocked to find out the radio is still alive!

THIS IS ME

2011-02-24T04:59:00.000-08:00

My dad’s friend used to have a video camera when I was small. He would come over and film me occasionally. Mom kept these tapes for years, and last December I finally digitalised them. I thought it would be good to use them for this project, since oddly enough, so many traits in me have remained unchanged since the age of 3. The film is a little depressing, but hey, so am I.

PLAN

2011-02-19T16:02:00.000-08:00

I was looking for a nice planner for the whole of January, but couldn't find The One. So I made my own with a Ryman sketchbook and a stamp kit.

I accidentally went out yesterday, forgot my phone at home and stayed out until 4. Jan was waiting for me at home all night long, really worried and having no clue where I was and when I was going to be back. I'm sorry, Jan! Bad bad me. So I got him a little present, wrapped it in sand paper and decorated with masking tape. Turned out pretty nice I think!

TOMATOES

2010-11-08T13:30:00.000-08:00

Keeping a blog is a dedication I'm deprived of.

But here's a little project.

End of September I planted some cherry tomato seeds. Turned out all 13 came out in a few days and I had to replant them in separate pots. Only half of them survived the stress though.

Right now we have 7 fairly healthy looking baby cherry tomatoes.

Fingers crossed they'll survive the depression of the coming winter.

A LITTLE SOMETHING I'M WORKING ON RIGHT NOW

LOOKATME

2010-07-16T13:12:00.000-07:00

Seems like just about time to write a new blog post. This summer in Moscow is truly Indonesian (+35 in shadow), the only downside of it all being the lack of ocean. Seems like I found myself something to do till the end of summer, but there are no fruits to reap just yet. Instead I'll show something Jan and I did just before i left London. It's a little project for a Russian design community showing off some of the clothes I have. It didn't have to be a project, but I so wanted to show off in front of the crowd of 15-year olds photographing their clothes with a mobile camera, that we've spent 4 hours shooting this and then I spent 4 more editing, and finished this in a day.

MKAY

2010-06-02T14:46:00.000-07:00

So now that the hectic deadline time is over i can return to the relaxing self-indulgent blogging activity with the new strengths. First is my video test for the Mtv indent (that proved to be more successful than the "official" video). I thank Andrew Bentley for the voice over.

After Esteban didn't approve of it, I sent it to Kigu (an online store, where I got the giraffe costume from) and they even blogged about it. YAY!

An American illustration magazine Three by Three issues a compilation of fresh amateur and professional illustration work every year (and it happens to reach London).

Jude Buffum I liked the most.

You can still enter the competition for the next year's compilation here. It is open "to all undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate students who were attending school during the 2009 calendar year", so don't miss a chance if you feel prepared. You know who you are!

PS: i don't know what to do with Blogger's html! It never turns out the way I want it, so I'm posting it the way Blogger wants!!

I will add a sound of little me playing piano to this. In fact the sound for this brief was supposed to be produced first...And it was! Even before the brief existed. It will work.

It's the first time I received post this year, and it appeared to be the copies of a magazine I did illustrations for!! I forgot about it entirely! It's a student NUS magazine with loads of ads and it looks shit of course, but how satisfying is it to have your own name on something, when the last thing I can recall with my name on is a school notebook.
