I actually had these done quite a while back, so this is a very fashionably late post.

When it comes to my own designs I’m generally quite indecisive and changes my mind almost all the time. The 1st cover is from one of the characters in my animation for the Shots magazine. In a sense he’s a fire-god of some sort and I added in the colour stripes behind him to make it look more contemporary.

And this is option 2, I felt that the fire-god was a bit too serious, so I used these little ones, they are the same guys from the business cards I made.

Voila!*The Chinese symbol on the top right corner represents the “meng” part of my name.

My first time

CIMG3850smlAfter researching, emailing, phoning, googling, obsessing and begging around for about 2 years here, I finally found someone who could teach me screen printing. I was ecstatic when I found Tertius our screen printing teacher– was  shivering from head to toe with excitement.

Currently I wish I had more time and space to do things like this. Work projects are not always extremely excite-able..

I recently participated in the Night of 1000 drawings exhibition. The night was packed with local hipsters, beers, cues, freebies and lots of bad drawings along with a fair amount of exceptionally good ones.  The turn out was amazing and I can’t remember the last exhibition I went to where I had to cue to get in except the crowded Tate Modern experience….

I’ll never know if my drawings were sold or not, but thats the beauty of doing charity work i guess :)  Unfortunately I didn’t take any photos of the event because I had a fight with my huggybear and bringing a camera just wasn’t the priority at that moment, but here’s a pic that I found on the web.

I had a good chuckle when I saw this article on LIFE magazine.

Also made a drawing out of him, using a squeaky mouse. This is a new style I’m trying and quite enjoying it, so would love to know what you think…

I just finished this piece from the friend’s portrait series. Found a chance to use the foliage/flowers drawing I did a while back.

So I’ve started snapping again. And, I’ve also recently got myself a Zeiss Ikon! Now all I have to do is figure out how to use this baby :)
