Week 9 – Free Writing
Mother-of-pearl Casket. India, Gujarat, 16th Century. Mother-of-pearl, gilded silver, wood. The first thought that came into my mind when I saw this particular casket was, “Whoa that’s something that you would find in the Game of Thrones set.” Because the plaques make it looks like as if dragon scales adorned the casket instead of mother-of-pearl.

Neighbourhood Explorer – Exploration
If I’m gonna make a zine about Serangoon, I have to explore it obviously. I went there about 3 times! It’s not because I like it there (not that I despise it tho), but lots of bad things happened which in the end cost me time and energy to visit Serangoon several times. But I had fun, especially it is… Read more →

So we are required to come up with an event and design the merchandises etc. for… Read more →

Finally, I finished my second assignment YAY! I’m so happy it turned out great and more than what I expected. I learned a lot from this project :DD. The theme I chose is ‘obsession’ and I went to the 50s cartoon direction. As you can see, it’s about the obesity because of junk food. That’s all! Thanks! Read more →
Editorial Illustration – Pencil Composition
After all those research, I came up with my initial compositions. I admit that they are pretty direct since I initially didn’t really take satire illustrations as a consideration. I was more into the style and story-telling, which did not represent the irony. So after some class sessions, I found an idea. That is to portray a quote into the… Read more →
