hmm..after posting nothing new here I decided to update my journal hehe ^^
_{I decided not to update my journ for some time since I think my older posts are all freaking gone! haha ..well one of the main reasons I post links & other essential creative rants here is because so I can use them as an archive but somehow my old posts are all gone.}
but that wouldn't stop me from posting wouldn't it? nah. haha



Ok here we go again with me surfing the net for some leaks of creative juices out there here's some of the best ones I've found: Enjoy guys!

The Sartorialist
[link]
well, I like his idea of capturing what people really wear on the street,
you know not just the trends on the runway but on the street where I think it really matters more.

Lookbook
[link]
but if you don't want to be shot on the street unprepared, there's always the lookbook to post your cool look. most of it are 'staged' though LOL but most are nice..

Photoshop Disasters
[link]
Here's a fun way to inspire us never to think "no one's gonna notice" on our digital works again. ever hehe.
_{note: suuper scroll down to see the images}

Slinkachu--I didn't get his name ^^
[link]
I love his photography series Little People Project that features small beings (toys) in the big urban surroundings..and leaving them there to be discovered as little surreal treasures! uber cool. there's a new world out there!

Atlas Obscura
[link]
this is one of my new reasons why I so wanted to explore the world eversince I was a kid _{heck I'm still a kid hiding in a matured-human-looking-robot haha}

Bang & Olufsen
[link]
To the product designers out there! this ones for you hehe their aesthetic is very very modern (that some critics think makes the products non-user friendly--although I think it's only because their designs are like so not contemporary yet hehe). Anyway their designs are very fresh to the point that it's like alien designed already! haha LOL :cool: I like the Beocenter 2. ^^

Logopond
[link]
cool streamlined logo designs! thanks to adik for the info leak!
I miss designing logos hehe



and about the recent super flood ondoy fellow victims out there..let's thank Him for the second chance, let's wake up and never abuse mother nature anymore..I hope everyone learns from this. Global warming is true. and we need to act NOW.



aand if your kind enough for this coming christmas season you can buy me this one little freakin hard to find toy--> [link]
heheh thanks in advance!

in utmost gratitude I will spare you from death by spear of longinus! LOL heheh + = you. hehe




these people deserve to have my dearest thank you's and

Fave saying of the month:

yey ^^ I was at the toycon in Mega (way last last week hehe), met old friends ate pinay,..etc. :hugs: , saw the gosiengfao girls , lurked at the DaMeat & bayan Knights booth , and well of course, got to see LOTSA toys! cool! and other LOTSA cute cosplay gurls hehe

But I wasn't able to see a single L figurine for sale there which was one of my main reasons that I went there,..aside from getting to see Alodia in person! hekhekhek anyway there's still next year!
oh..and there's this Mangaholix event I think this month, but I dunno if i'll go ^^

...

as usual I've been trying hard to cram up activities for the week , work is as usual always getting in the way! hehe but still that's the way the world goes around isn't it? heheh ..aand I've just finished a uber mini oil painting! haha it feels like it has been years since i've painted (in oil) hehe the newness (wtf?) and the awesome feeling I've felt made me think as if it's my first time to paint again!

...

ok last month, I gave you links from iconic local fashion houses and I was thinking to prepare a food version of that But I think you guys are very much aware of the local ones so I would just suggest that we should support them more so during these very trying times..^^ think na if we support them we are also supporting ourselves (supporting local companies would have a much more beneficial impact on our economy, helping the currency, food prices..etc. compared to the foreign co. which also has the same good impact but then the bigger bulk of their income would go back to their countries unlike the local co. whose full income is shared mostly or entirely here in the country which would definitely be a bigger contribution to the country) but just FYI Figaro, The French Baker, Wham Burger, Brother's Burger, Red Ribbon are some of the most popular food co. that looks foreign but are really local ones! so show your support guys

...

New sites to keep us humble and inspired

the title (as it always is) is an effin' joke and an intellectual stupidity. :straightface:

Well i've been dreaming too many activities that I've been wanting to do, now that I think I have the time (yeah, I'm single right?) but seems like I really need to plan this one out. my horoscope says that I need time to clean up my act hehe :wipe: Hope I can do all of these stuff as planned.

One of my recently ongoing activity is a simple non-profit art workshop session for my highschool, [link] wherein I teach young art aspirants who represent the school in art competitions ^^, _{This is my way of thanking the school.} we’ve been meeting up for almost 2 months now ^^ I really do hope they learn something from me

As you can see my greatest weakness is also a name of an indonesian/ malaysian rowing boat. hehehe
Goodluck for me then ^^

....

now getting on with the show, i'll be giving you guys another batch of links that _hopefully will inspire us more to be a true artist! I meant true artist as in one who is inspired to excel more so as to inspire others to excel even more I believe an artist dies when he is no longer inspired--.

Here we go!

[link]
I like his fonts more than his designs but it appears
Brazil has more than just pretty people ^^

[link]
You should see his wicked art robots made from
Found objects! starts thinking of another project hehe..:-P

[link]
One of my continuously expanding list of favorite artists!
Cool art, He’s quickly convincing me to be a Graffiti artist, a different kind of
Graffiti artist, you see he’s works are more of an eye-opener
To the public compared to the ‘messier’ and ego-thirsty common
Graffiti artist. ^^ peace out!

[link]
Cool, and very edgy, old school-grotesque pieces, his site sells
Artworks that are quite hard to find, and he even sells his own
Designs in between ^^

[link]
the Liongoren family really is an art heritage in in it self ^^
welcome to the site of hannah, another up and coming Liongoren artist ^^

Enjoy!
….

Trese
I’ve long been seeing these graphic novels in the local bookstores, and reading fan comments raging over these comics.. but it has only been recently that I’ve decided
To read one (well, actually a friend sent a link, and since it’s free I read it hehe)

Honestly, I first thought that it was a girly-girly cliché type of story, (initially I thought Budjette Tan was a girl ) But I was blown away at how he
Wrote the stories, his flow are very engaging and very addictive. ^^ seems like I’ll be collecting a new set of comicbooks <sub>I miss CC btw, but heck they’re gone ^^

[link]

read and enjoy!

……

Woops, and I’ve been addicted to this new game hehe
[link]
hehe I’m a nuker dark elf hehe..still testing the game if it is really good.

woops! Earth day is this saturday guys! March 28, 2009 8:30-9:30 PM let's all participate! this is a worldwide event, everybody is encouraged to shut down their lights (home, office.. or other electric appliance like tv, radio..etc.) just for one hour!

[link]

a sacrifice for just one hour will save us worldwide megawatts of power! this is a worldwide call for us to conserve energy and help fight global warming..

...

yep, haven't had any updates for some time (yeah not to mention any deviation --ooh rhyme! ),been busy with work, High school reunion, and different events...so i'll just give you guys these features on awesome artists in their different fields--just as i've had promised! ^^ Be inspired!

[link]
His comics and encounters with editors are funny as well as his lego
interpretation of new york city ^^

[link]
One of my newest ultra idols! his work isn't really my favorite 'line' compared with my other ultra idol artist such as Felix Hidalgo or van gogh but he's like the greatest artist of our times--the pop-vector-multimedia-modern-contemporary era. ^^

[link]
Feminine doodle, dreamy and surreal her works are really something.
and guess what? she's Filipina ^^ She also has a deviantart account--> [link]

[link]
A website i haven't fully explored yet but looks very promising.

[link]
another fave artist, i've seen pirated works of simone legno on bags first in Marikina and then all around the metro before even knowing the artist behind the art..how sad..so I'm featuring him here so all credit should go back to its original creator ^^

[link]
wuju if i could I wish I could join this group, but I think they're already too many but nonetheless they are great artists and like electrolychee and team manila has spurned my interest never to throw my doodles as only 'scratches' not piece of art. ^^


Hey guys, hope you'll love this set of artists i've featured here ^^ God is just too great and we, artists are just people who are inspired by his ultimate work of art: Life.


...

and yeah, talking about life, let's talk about my favorite counterpart: death

I definitely endorse this ultra short but extremely great and beautifully made ghost game! hands down to the makers!

[link]

Much better if you can play it on a ultra high speed pc, with headphones and a webcam! ultra coooool. it feels so much like a movie already
