my entry for D&AD student awards

A magazine cover illustration for Little White Lies based on the movie "The Tree of Life".

I did something new for 30 days

Someone missing

You have a way of coming easily to me

And when you take, you take the very best of me
So I start a fight cause I need to feel something
And you do what you want cause I'm not what you wanted

Oh what a shame, what a rainy ending given to a perfect day
Just walk away, ain't no use defending words that you will never say
And now that I'm sitting here thinking it through
I've never been anywhere cold as you

You put up walls and paint them all a shade of gray
And I stood there loving you and wished them all away
And you come away with a great little story
Of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you

Unplug and give free hugs!

2011-10-25T10:29:00.003+08:00

Dear friends,

life is fragile and short, we do not have all the time in the world.
And neither do the people we love.
For we're only here for a moment, and gone the next. And the scariest part is you dont know when that moment will come.

So maybe just for today.. will you spend

a little less time on your phone,
a little less time in front of the computer,
a little less time watching TV,
a little less time on Facebook,

and just a little more time showing your loved ones how much you love them?

cos i realised if i were to die today,

i will not miss my blackberry,
i will not miss my macbook
i will not miss my facebook account
i will not miss my artworks
i will not miss my guitar
i will not miss playing volleyball
i will not miss my ego
and my pride
i will not miss my money

The only thing i'll miss are the people in my life.

how would you live your life if there's no tmr?

2011-10-20T21:43:00.008+08:00

"IF SOMEONE WANTS TO BE A
PART OF YOUR LIFE, THEY'LL
MAKE AN EFFORT TO BE IN IT.
SO DON'T BOTHER RESERVING
A SPACE IN YOUR HEART FOR
SOMEONE WHO DOESNT MAKE AN
EFFORT TO STAY."

Who do you think you are?

2011-09-07T01:48:00.001+08:00

I know I can't take one more step towards you
Cause all that's waiting is regret
And don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore?
You lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live, half-alive
And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?

I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms

I've learned to live, half-alive
Now you want me one more time

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?

Dear, it took so long
Just to feel alright
Remember how to put back
The light in my eyes

I wish I had missed
The first time that we kissed
'Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back you don't get to get me back

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

And who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

Sketch guest

2010-10-07T11:23:00.003+08:00

Yinghol drew something very interesting in my sketchbook the other day. he say he's borrowing my style but i think he made something totally his own. =)

a few days later i was having trouble finding the right silhouette for my next subject "the Penguin".. and it just so happened that i flipped a page back to his sketch and instantly the shape of the character at the top spoke to me and i knew at that instance that thats the shape i'm gonna use. =)

i hope you guys like it!

National day Telemovie Opening. "This is My home"

2009-09-20T13:19:00.005+08:00

An animated opening i did for the Singapore National Day Telemovie "This is My Home"

Basically this opening is used to help establish a childhood friendship between the 2 lead characters (benny and grace) and of them having to separate cos the girl had to fly off to some where else. And then it'll help lead the audience into the main plot of the movie, after she returns to singapore 9 yrs later.. =)

pardon the little errors here and there they have all been fixed but somehow i just cant seem to find the final version.. so please make do with this for the time being =)
everything but the music was done by me. =))

hope you like it!

a tip from Maurice Noble

2009-06-03T23:54:00.004+08:00

Hello alls!

Thought i'd just share this short poem with everyone of you reading this.. its taken from this wonderfully illustrated biographical book called "Noble Boy" by Scott Morse, which documents the life of an acclaimed artist named Maurice Noble.. so for most part it talks mostly abt this guy but at the last few pages of the "board book" Scott Morse did manage to squeeze in a tip or two which i think most of us artist out there might find useful =) ok cut the crap here it goes:

Lets talk some shop and ramble 'bout design just for a second.
The story's always the key was what Maurice had often reckoned.
Now, what's the thing you need to say with visuals and charm?
Is it appropriate to show or cause your story harm?

The shape and line define the form where stories often lay.
Texture adds the mood and colour choice comes into play.
Reach deep for something from your past, emotion held at bay.
Then scene by scene your tale evolves, informed by each new day.
The boldness of experience must often lead the way.

On the surface, graphics need immediate impact,
But at their heart, its love that always needs to stay intact.
A love of life... you draw from life, and let it fill your mind...
Then pull from things that made you feel.

That's how it's all designed.

How can someone teach these things?
It's not just something shown.
It's something sponged up face to face,
It's something slowly grown.

One thing, one rule, sticks out the best,
One trick you cant refute:

In your art, be BOLD.
If they dont like it, then

SALUTE!

thought i'd share with you guys my lastest lomography (fisheye No.2) pictures taken mostly during my batam and KL trip..and some sometime back..cos i thought i'll gather all my film rolls first before sending them for develope at one go. to my surprised! they turnout out pretty good (i guess experience really do help) while my 2 120mm film roll came out like crap.. most are either under exposed or came out blank (i have noooooo idea why) guess i'm still learning to get use to the new camera that joe bought for me soemtime back(diana F+).

go check out the cameras from lomography! i promise you'll enjoy yourr stay =)))

2009-04-03T11:11:00.003+08:00

When does Love die? (from Penny's site. hehe)

2009-02-23T01:12:00.018+08:00

was surfing penny's site and there she posted one very interesting question: 爱情，什么时候算是死去呢？(when does love die out?)

and out of the 16 comments that were made, most of them mentioned this 2 factors: the absence of trust and communication, and one of them even noted: 其实，死掉的应该不是爱情，而是人的心。" (actually, love doesnt die, its the heart that does.) and all of which i really cant agree more.

love exist not because it is fated to be nor is it destinied that this 2 person are to be together forever-- but because 2 person made effort to make love happen.

sometimes i wonder if its possible to just communicate the good stuff in a relationship, cos obviously no one wants to hear the bad stuff, right? and then i wonder--- is that communication at all? cos communication (from wikipedia) means "Communication is the process whereby information is imparted by a sender to a receiver. " so i guess by information it prolly means a general term and that includes .. well..... everything.. right? so if you only say the good stuff then its prolly like taking one M out of the word, which results in "comunication" which isnt communication at all right??

am i making any sense?

forget sense! anyway, out of hte 16 comments i've found something that i really liked and it goes like this:

当两人无法沟通， when 2 person are unable to communicated,
无法反省自己， unable to self reflect,
无法提升自己， unable to make self improvements,
无法去等待， unable to wait,
彼此伤害的时候， when both are causing each other harm,
爱情就算不死， even when love doesnt actually die,
两人就算再相爱， and even when 2 continue loving each other,
也难以走下去一辈子。 it will still be hard to journey together for life.

一个男人，就算懂得爱你，也不一定懂得珍惜你， the man may love you, but he may not know how to cherish you,
一个男人，懂得珍惜你，就一定懂得爱你。 but when a man cherishes you, you will know for sure that he loves you.

-舞

fruit for thought.

梁静茹 - 可惜不是你

2008-08-25T20:51:00.004+08:00

这一刻突然觉得好熟悉
像昨天今天同时在放映
我这句语气原来好像你
不就是我们爱过的证据
差一点骗了自己骗了你
爱与被爱不一定成正比
我知道被疼是一种运气
但我无法完全交出自己

努力为你改变
却变不了预留的伏线
以为在你身边那也算永远
仿佛还是昨天
可是昨天已非常遥远
但闭上我双眼我还看得见

可惜不是你陪我到最後
曾一起走却走失那路口
感谢那时你牵过我的手
还能感受那温柔

那一段我们曾心贴著心
(我想我更有权力关心你)
可能你已走进别人风景
多希望也有星光的投影
努力为你改变
却变不了预留的伏线
以为在你身边那也算永远
仿佛还是昨天
可是昨天已非常遥远
但闭上我双眼我还看得见

可惜不是你陪我到最後
曾一起走却走失那路口
感谢那时你牵过我的手
还能感受那温柔

感谢那时你牵过我的手
还能温暖我胸口

I know this is laineART.blogspot so supposedly its supposed to be an art blog and all.. but heeey you need something different every now and then to spark things up eh!!

so this entry, shall be a special entry.
Just for You. i do hope you like it tho.

Hmm where shall i start? dont we all have the same prob? there're tonnes of thingys that we wanna say but when it comes to the actually typing process, we find ourselves asking.. "hmmmm where to start leh???" but then again.. maybe its just me.

shall i start with the fact that i simply adore you?

your soft brown sleepy eyes that "awwwwwwws" me everytime without fail when you look at me. you've got beautiful eyes that simply smile on their own you know that? and lets not forgot the soft hair that i love running my fingers thru. i love entangling my arm in his, giving him backrubs and touching his soft cheeks =)

and then there's that heart of gold. one that's always willingly blessing people. He is gentle giant, a soft fluffy carebear, meek and patient but at the same time a great friend who's always ready to lend a listening ear. In fact, yes i think you are becoming my best friend. cos i cannot imagine being able to share everything with anyone else(ok maybe except God..but God is not really ANYONE so i guess that doesnt count). He's also my mentor, an advisor or even a brother i nv got to have.

I love how he can be protective and affectionate but at the same time respect my need for personal space. he would send me to dinners and get-togethers with my friends and then give me a kiss on the lips wishing me a wonderful time before leaving. and also for the fact that he is so sociable and easy going, that really makes it extra easy to introduce him to friends and families!

Ohhh did i already mention that i can share everything with him? he's always there, good times and bad, encouraging me to share my thoughts, and rewarding me with sincere appreciation when i do.. i just feel that i can tell him anything and yet dont have to worry if that will make him change his impression towards me. we would be on the phone for hrs.. just talking abt so many things.. sharing our thoughts, our days, our lives, families, friends, everything under the sun with each other.

and then of course no relationship is as smooth as those in movies.. there're times when we disagree with one another, when we're discontent or just being plain grumpy with one another( ok this one mainly me hahaha).. but so far i'm really really happy with the way we deal with its. i really love how we're able to open up and share our frustrations with one another. one thing that i learn from previous relationships and that is the importance of communication. 2 people need to pour out their hearts for them to avoid further miscommunication and then look for a solution together and i think thats wat we're both aiming at. better talk things out then to have one guess wats really going on.

whoops.
i just scrolled up and realised
"this is a friggin' long post!"

anyway, the last part does not concern any of you except for the person this concerns. ╞)

honey,
i want to thank you for always being there. always being around continuously pouring out your love and loving me the way i want to be loved. i just want you to know, that i adore every part of you and i really appreciates everything you've done for me, from chauffering me around to sacrificing your bball games with your friends just to spend time with me, to paying attention to me even tho i may not be the most interesting thing around =) to so many so many things that i didnt mention i appreciates them all :) dear i want to give you the love and TLC that you deserve. i want you to feel secure and know that i'm serious about this.. that i'm right here, walking beside you ready to embrace the good and bad times ahead and i'm looking no where else but in your direction. lets make this work together shall we?

loving you,
Ecc

For poor genie(my sister's depressed dog over sudden lack of attention due to the arrival of a baby), who'll only come tumbling at your feet when you have a piece of jerky in your hand.

W.I.P motion graphics piece i did at work for a corporate video..

i think i'm beginning to fall in love with motion graphics.
yup its tedious, time consuming, and really requires quite a bit a thinking and planning..
more so if you're inexperience (like me) . but still.. there's something intriguing abt it.. the process of coming up with a good piece... and not to mention the end results.. and all that really makes all the effort worthwhile..

sigh...

i love my job.

Just for you (:

2008-06-05T15:29:00.003+08:00

Soft on the outside, softer on the inside, hard in the core.

Fab-u-lous.

hope you like it! hearts.

love lovelovelove..

2008-05-27T11:13:00.005+08:00

i have a confession to make.

I'm in love.

and love does strange, strange things to you.. it takes you to cloud no.9, 10,11,12,13,14,15.. keeps you from focusing at work..makes you drop grumpy sketches for smiley ones.. and simply makes you sigh and stare sheepishly into space..

:))))))))

so please bear with me for not updating often.. I'm still trying to break free from this ooooo so hypnotizing trance. bye for now....

*screams coming from the background*

"waaaaaatts haaappppenniinnng to meeeeeeeeeee! did i just type that!??!??!?!??!?"

IT'S THE DIY BACKGROUND EXERCISE AGAIN!

2008-05-24T10:24:00.006+08:00

i thought the sketch of charlie might be a good potential piece to put in my portfolio.. so (feeling pressured for the interview on monday..) i went to fill in the colours and viola!

i would love to continue working on it tho.. it'll be nice to place it on a nice beachy background with the sun glistering on the water like diamonds.. trees dancing to the breeze..purple and orange clouds - oops sorry i got carried away for a moment there..hahahhah hope yoou're picturing it already! but for now kids.. pls let your imagination run freeee and fill in the missing elements into the bg of this piece.. hahahhha..

SALUTE!

p.s. i miss ayejay

my first roll of coloured slides

2008-05-08T14:33:00.006+08:00

most of them didnt turn out so well.. perfect evidence of an inexperience lomo user working on asa100 slides.. hahaha TSK NEWBIE LEH WAT DO YOU EXPECT! tssssssk!

but i'm very surprised how different the colours turned out for different shots.. i've got green, blue, saturated burst of colours and its amazing! its not like just a standard colour for all shots you know wat i mean? The amazing thing abt lomo cameras - each shot is a surprise! ookkk maybe there is a formula to this.. but heck! so exciting! i wanna try it again!

oh and btw.. welcome to Siglap, Singapore!

For emo's sake.

Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

Well, I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left, you kissed my lips
You told me you would never, never forget
These images

No

Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine

Did I make it that
Easy to walk right in and out
Of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should have known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do.

For Charlie!
