The Silly Boats, 2016

The Silly Boats
November, 2016
Watercolour on Paper
594cm x 420cm


Hello World! FINALLY, I've managed to figure out how to create a gif via photoshop instead of relaying on Melanie, my younger sister who writes = HERE


Acrylic paint has always been my favorite medium to use as it is easy to control, fun to use and it can be easily painted over and over again if i ever make a mistake, which (sadly) occurs often! But with 'The Silly Boats', i decided to get out of my comfort zone and use watercolour as it is the best medium to achieve the 'drippy' and translucent effect.

Even though the composition is very similar to my previous work called the 'I am a Paper Boat that never sinks', click here to view, the 'The Silly Boats' is painted on a much bigger scale, it included two boats instead of one and most of all it contains a different meaning of the painting.

'The Silly Boats' was painted as a birthday gift for Ed that came 1.5 months late, oppsy :) ! Ed wanted a few of my previous paintings but i never really wanted to give away paintings that were meaningless to the him and to both of us. 

The two Paper Boats sailing peacefully on harsh waves depict our friendship and unique bond that is seemingly impossible to be broken or shaken. I see Water as a powerful element and Paper as a fragile material, by combining these two together i hope audiences are able to see the contrast and the strong mutual understanding and respect that these two silly boats have for each other!

Please let me know your interpretation of this painting, i would love to know ! :) You can simply comment down below or email me at : artsypride62@gmail.com


polaroids

Friday, 1 January 2016




When i was younger, i was very careful (in other words, stingy) and selective with where and when i use my polaroid camera as instax films are very expensive especially to a jobless teenager like me.

But in 2015, i became more generous with my instax films as i fell in love with capturing candid moments of my friends & family and watch it magically develop instantly in my hands, by itself. Every single shot is so precious and intentional that i can't help but to have a nostalgic feeling whenever i browse through them. The rustic and whimsical effects are also what make it more unique.

Modern photography has enabled us to capture multiple shots of a composition in just a few seconds, allowing us to have the privilege to pick the best among the other 2000 pictures of the same frame and of course touch up before uploading them else where. It can be a blessing but sometimes i prefer pictures that are RAW!

tumblr crazy

Friday, 13 November 2015

Hello Human.

2 more exams to go until i can start compiling my videos from both iphone and camera to produce something, hopefully, rad. I have been collecting short footages of my little adventures throughout the year but never really had a chance to appreciate it, so i thought why not make a video diary for 2015? It will no doubt be something that i will look back on in a few years time! 

ps: i totally forgot how much i loved tumblr where all i do is scroll and snuggle up with my... pillows.

Here is the link if you are interested in pretty little things:





Conrad Sewell, Start Again

Tuesday, 10 November 2015



Home time, I'm getting ready for a long night They say you never miss it 'til it's gone Well you're gone and I wish I'd done it better Mostly I miss having you close to me The only one who really ever knows me And I'm sorry, I promise I'll do better, better There's a hole in the middle of my heart again Can we start again, can we start again There's a hole in the middle and it never mends It never mends, can we start again Some nights, I kid myself I treated you right Lying to myself, I didn't know If I'm honest, I could've done it better You said we had it pretty much perfect And then you told me that you loved me But you're sorry, you needed something better, better There's a hole in the middle of my heart again Can we start again, can we start again There's a hole in the middle and it never mends It never mends, can we start again So I guess I'm gonna let you go But you get to keep a little bit of my soul So I guess I'm gonna write you out But I don't think I can do it to me right now Let's pretend that time heals all There's a hole in the middle of my heart again Can we start again, can we start again There's a hole in the middle and it never mends It never mends But I've gotta try to start again

each heartbeat
