Books books books!



If you're a shopaholic, and you like books, this book sale can drive you crazy!
Well, it did drive me a little nuts.

There's big variety of books, and the books are very cheap! Price from RM3 to RM40. Most of the books I bought are photo books, with hard cover, and most of them are around RM25! Photos from National Geographic!

If you've missed it this year, there's always next year! I'm gonna prepare RM500 and a trolly or a traveling bag with wheels to carry the books next year.

3rd blog post in 2011

So, this is my third blog post in 2011, and it's the middle of September now.

A lot has happened during the past few months.

Went to church's youth camp, started a partnership, quit the partnership, design and printing jobs here and there, bought a midi keyboard controller, my first watch, photo shoot and designed for my buddy's CD album.

I'm gonna remind myself why am I keeping this blog. To record some lessons I've learned, experiences, events, so that one day when I read my blog again, I can see achievements, and how much I've grow.

Booklet cover for Lisa Chia

Eli and her friend asked me to design a booklet cover for their friend's graduation recital. They gave me a sketch, and some keywords, "antique style", "not too complicated", "growing flowers" (hoolanders). When I gave them the final product, Lisa was so happy with the design she told me to put my name there. XD

Here are 2 early drafts that i sent to them to choose from, then develop from there:

Everyone is an artist

Everyone can create art. Any kind of art, in any form. A drawing, a song, some words put together and you've got a poem.

I believe everyone is an artist. We're created in God's image, God is an artist, a creator, we also have the artist cell in us. :)

Some people might say that they can't draw well. So, let me tell you, drawing can be learned!

Just like learning a musical instrument, no one can play the piano once they're born. They have to pick up piano lessons, and then step by step, with practice, patience and passion, they can play a song and another song and another song.

You can teach yourself drawing too. Now at this you-can-get-almost-everything-from-the-internet era, do a little google search and we can learn some simple techniques about drawing.

I've met some people who never went to art school, but they can draw/paint very well.

Art college or no, drawing lessons or self-taught, I believe everyone can draw. Just practice. And maybe imitate/copy some of the drawings you see as an exercise.

Here's a like I want to share with you. Drawspace.com. They have some some free drawing lessons on their website. It's free to register. And they have some paid lessons too.

Man, I need to continue to brush up my drawing skill...
