[1 – Vagabond + New Places = Anxious] Vagabond – “Get ready for a rollercoaster trip all over the world.” Those who travel often like to keep a journal as a memoir of their trips. The composition hence resembles a travel sketchbook, though on a book (which I am currently reading by the way, 1984 by George Orwell), being that… Read more →

Project 3: Ego Pt. 1 – Concept Creation
The Ego project instilled the idea in me to portray my own personal character through visual means. It was because of this that I wanted to portray the style that has always been aesthetically pleasing and comforting for me, which are mainly vintage or old-looking images.

Project 1: My Line is Emo Pt. 2 – Handmade Marks
Below are drawings of lines using a traditional medium, a pen.

I also played with the tones of the boxes created by lines through thinner or darker lines. Another method of showing such emotion… Read more →
Project 1: My Line is Emo Pt. 1 – Tools and Mark Making
Using chopsticks as my handle, I was able to create three different mark making tools. One of my favourites would be the chopstick wherein I sliced through its end so as to create spiky and rough texture, allowing me to produce dot-like effects on paper. Despite it being interesting, however, it did not allow me to make bigger and more… Read more →
