25/08/2007, evening.
Japanese summer festival at the Japanese School.

children, teenagers, adults.
boys and girls, men and women in their yukata.
I think traditional costumes are So Beautiful.
and I just had to choose today to forget the camera ![]()
Schade!

a lousy 2mp camera phone does no justice to the evening’s colours.
I want to go back again with a decent camera!

P.s. thanks to P and brother for the tix! and the 2 Ps for the company.

So beautiful.

Pictures in their original state, no edits–I didn’t have to.
When was the last time You saw a sunrise?

I realised the comment boxes are filling up! Many attributed from pig’s work and I’m happy for you. Look pig, at this rate, you will realise your C School dream soon
And oh did I say, the blog’s new look is fantastic! tankew pig!
I am the guilty one who sort of slipped out of this whole wedoodle thing, an attitude very different when we first got started. Well reasons are few but strong. One of which I guess I’ve lost my inspiration. I dug out my old artwork I did ages ago and I realised at the time when no Photoshop or digital camera exist, simple hand drawn art on drawing board was all I ever liked and I never thought I will lose the urge to draw, until maybe now.
I was INTO fashion/figure drawing for a longgg time and these were produced when I was 15 I think. I wanted to be a bridal gown designer hiak

will put up more next time.

Something i drew in ink, then digitally coloured. Not my typical pencil then digital way of doodling, that’s why I opted for a rough sketch feel with no clear, defined details. But I like it this way enough to colour it.
Doesn’t seem like anywhere on our little red dot of a country, does it?
I hope to make this my sty one day. But first, I’ll need to strike lottery. ;p

I’ve always dreamed of having a library of books and me sitting by an almost full-length curtained window–preferably with day curtains too–of a nicely air-conditioned room and reading a good book by the window while basking in a little warm sunshine pouring through the window. Perfect for a little “me-time” for the loner in me.

Side-notes:
-One of the really, really few moments of inspiration (these days especially) that got me down to drawing and doing this picture. But I kind of ran out of patience colouring it in photoshop because I was fiddling with brushes without a mouse and it got a little more than frustrating.
-Have got mixed feelings about this picture. Sometimes when I look at it, I find it good enough in expressing what I feel, other times I feel a little disappointment cos I can’t help thinking that something’s missing and that I can’t capture it cos I lack the skills to.

Panda don’t do her werk no justice, so pig do it for her (but the picture qualities ain’t no good cos I took it with my camera phone) ;p
She showed this to me first, and I exclaimed over it:

That is, until I saw this:

SO CUTE.

On Sunday, a meetup with D at a place I’d definitely want to go back to (some time), whether alone or with company. It’s good for people watching, too. If left to my own devices, i’d probably bring my black book and doodle. Inset, a man I watched having tea while reading a book. A lone activity I personally like to do too. He’s the traditional angmoh whom I’d very much have liked to draw. But without my book and with the company of D whom I wouldn’t have wanted to bore with by watching me doodle, I can only do up a rough sketch the next day (of what little I can remember) of him with what D suggested–a mental image. This is as far as I can remember. Which isn’t much, as you can see.

I am really free lately. And I seem to turn to art when i’m not exactly happy. Went art shopping and found palm size (minus the fingers) wooden cars/trucks and started painting them. They looked cute at first. But later it looks more pathetic than nice. But decided to share cos Pig gushed over the moo moo van haha.
