Bunny - Bunny Auditore

This was done for someone because he was obsessed with Assassin's Creed and he said, "Hey, I have an idea for you!" and half an hour later...

(I even added the Leap of Faith details and you would notice little dart like thingies on Bunny's coat. Those are safety pins. Relax, they are very safe.)

Have a good day!

Comic con!

So today Janell and I headed down to Comic Con and boy was it inspiring!

Here are some photographs from today:

An incredibly inspiring are the people I've met as well.

 Click here to read about all the artists!

My favourites, at glance are:

1) Gunawan Lo
2) Bitter Stickgirl - whom i did not get a chance to meet! Pity! I read her book.. So nice!)
3) Chin Yew - Also did not get to meet.. Love his comics! His style is super cute.
4) Andrew - Really nice guy, great comics.
5) Dave Chua - This is the kind of thing that inspires me!

I do feel that there should be more female graphic artists! The girls there tended to do more of manga-style things, which is ok, but wouldn't it be interesting to read something from a female perspective? Hehe I'm jut saying.

I had a great day, and hopefully in two years, I would have my own booth, maybe?

Have a good day!

And an important lesson taken from today:
Draw from life. :)

A Bunny Story - Zine

Hehe! On a whim, and also egged on by HH, I decided to create these "zines" and hand them out at the Comicon tomorrow! Heehee! Then again, I'm not that brave, nor thick-skinned to roll with the pros, so they'd probably just stay in my bag.... But it was fun doing these!

Mini-zine.. 12 pages!

I will be doing proper copies and make them avaliable on Etsy soon.

Bunny the carrot thief

When doing Bunny, i realised i no longer did short, stand alone stories.. So this is one of them! Hehe.

Enjoy!

Shoezy -memo pad

I love the kraft paper cover, and the grid paper.. And it felt natural to draw my favourite shoes on the front. Favourite heels, that is. Hehe.

I used archival ink so it won't fade away in like, twenty years. Hopefully.

This is one of the shoes that will be appearing in my Shoe zine, which is still a WIP.

Have a good day!

Of course, available at my shop, unless sold! Hee hee.

Let me show you how

One more sketch for the night.

This time with my tablet. You can see how it was done on my odosketch pad below the image.

Self?

I did this in class today, while presentations were going on.

I have not used a mouse to draw in ages, having grown accustomed to my tablet at home. So this was quite a challenge for me.








I love Odosketch, it's nice and illustratey and the colours and the overall effect. :D

Another msn doodle

Janell was demanding I did a comic on demand.

Each frame was drawn indivdually, to appease her insatiable comic appetite.

Layout by Janell again. :)

Bunny #8 - Brush with the cops

Previously, on the Adventures of Bunny, we found our tiny hero at a carpark at Eunos Mrt, and kicking a policeman.

Notebook

A poetry zine on love lost, love found, and random musings about people and things, written in a small black notebook I was carrying around during the months of August and September 2010.

I hope it doesn't sound too pretentious, because it really isn't about all that. This is quite a dear collection to me and I am glad I actually got it out on paper finally.

On the front cover is Beary, and with the real Bunny on the back. No pictures of me this time, hee hee.

For lovers lost and found. And people who like birds.

About 35 pages of writing
Black and white

Avaliable at my shop.

Gym Cat

Gym cat is about my pseudo-adventures at the gym, and about some of the experiences I have had with people I met there in my first two months. About the gym, for gym lovers, and if you like exercise, and lockers.

Entirely hand-drawn and handwritten, about 16 pages of drawings and writings.
1/4 page size, black and white.

Avaliable at my shop.

Alternatively drop me an e-mail if you would like a copy.

Fill me up -zine

"Fill me up" is my first poetry/ prose zine, with writings about love and other silly things.

Where are you, Love?

Chinese ink

I painted these with chinese ink.

I love the smell and the richness of the ink.. It reminds me of my childhood.. Back to a time where I did chinese brush painting when I was 11.

These paintings were done from sketches of random people, and were part of my experimenation process for a friend's zine cover.

Art Focussed interview

The letter wrote that Iwould be attending an "Art focussed interview" and I was somewhat nervous before that. So I started doodling in my little square book.

For a dear friend

Bitbit.

HA! I purposely did not align the piture so if anyone steals this andtries to reprint it they will get this little mark at teh corner of the page, and I WILL KNOW. Ok, I'm kidding.

Watercolour.

Peter

What a wonderful morning! I cycled to Mcd's, had a great breakfast (ok, I had a BIG breakfast), accompanied by a good book, came home, did a painting:

Charcoal, taken, not stolen, from the Drawing class I took as an elective two semesters ago.







And I had the most wonderful surprise from a dear friend!

What a great day! Hehehe.

A love so beautiful

Listening to Roy Orbison's "A love so beautiful" this morning (and through the whole of today, including during my run), and I thought of a boy that I loved and I sudddenly had an urge to paint something.

And I crawled back into bed:

and when i think of you
I fall in love again

A love so beautiful
we let it slip away

My whole day has been a spiral of melancholy, and yet, so very beautiful.

My Etsy is now open!

Fortunately, (or unfortunately), I am only confident enough to list one item at the moment.. HMMM!

Anyhoos! Do take a look (if you want)!

YAY!

Sketchy Musings Book 1

It is finally here!

I would like to thank some people specifically:

My mum and Janna - For teaching me how to use a scanner.

Faisal - For furrowed eyebrows and sighs of exasperation, and also for layout techniques and overall worry that my pages won't fit. And also attempting to teach me Japanese binding (which I MAY do for my next books) sine "30 pages is too thick to staple! It won't be nice! You have to bind it! That's what I would do for my books..."

Janell -  For getting me started on this whole business (as in, the business of zine making.. not some money making venture okay.) and also for printing advice. AND also stapling advice "30 plus pages you want to bind? You can still staple!" and also other ways to keep my paper together.

Ah hem.

I used a ribbon to tie the centre. About 30 plus pages of sketches and some amateurish writing. This one has a few dreams. Home of the first ever Bunny comic!

A collection of doodles and thoughts.

14cm by 14cm.

Approx 34 pages

Not yet avaliable on Etsy because I AM STILLWAITING FOR CREDIT CONFIRMATION. 

Have a good day y'all!

Old treasures

These little treasures were re-discovered by my sister, while almost throwing out an old notepad.

I remember doing these also to entertain my sister, who was bored, and somehow all we had then was this National Environmental Agency notepad, each bearing a different message on the top...

We really had a hoot (not in an owl sense).

And finally!

I had no idea what was going through my mind. Seriously. But the first one is still my favourite!

Note: It's ok if you don't "get it".. I don't either.

I am not a fairy!

So I bought a bone folder today, and my friend, convinced that it looks girly on me (How a bone folder "looks" on someone, I have yet to understand... Haha.) insisted that I am a "fairy", now that I have it.

There, there are no such thing as fairy cats!

And I have started to call it a bone wand. So sue me.

An Officer and a Gentleman

It's Nothing Personal - perzine

This is first printed perzine that will be for sale. I still have slight uneasiness about giving it to people who know me personally so please don't be offended if I decline you a copy. There will be other zines for you, I assure that!

I enjoy writing about relationships- sometimes real, sometimes made up.

This one is about one of my adventures in "love", as told when I removed my rose-tinted glasses (I keep seeing/ using that phrase nowadays!).

About 18 pages of mostly text and some drawings, 1/4 size.
