Eclipse... sort of...

Inspired by the eclipse a few days ago, I tried to draw my own but uh... well, it didn't turn out the way I imagined it to be. It's a big patch of something... maybe even a black hole that could suck the life out of everyone.

Pumpkins and Pumpkins

There are pumpkins that I know and there are pumpkins that I don't, such as these shiny plasticky ones on the left that're called "Australian Jaradale" pumpkins.

Yellow Boots

Made popular by the Singaporean sitcom Phua Chu Kang, the sight of yellow boots had never been the same... ever again!

Advances in Space Travels


Space, the final frontier, they say. For all we know (barring all those governmental conspiracies) there had not been anyway for humans to go that far but there had always been theories. Some of these theories are starting to materialise and look promising:

1. Photonic Propulsion
With a large, reflective sail, it would be "possible to generate enough momentum to accelerate a spacecraft" via lasers pulsing light from the surface of the Earth.
Just 3 days to Mars and another 3 days back. Wow.

2. Antimatter Rockets

Another cool theory would be using antimatter rockets with energy created when positrons and electrons come into contact to power spacecrafts. Speed can go up to 72 million miles per hour.

Pressed for Freedom

It's not easy.

Pencil

With all the styli out there trying to mimic the real thing, let's not for one moment forget the pencil. At least not this generation.

恭喜發財 2016

May the year of the monkey be a healthy and happy one! And one where Malaysia gets back on track.

Before the Dance

The Goat, the Torch and the Monkey

Id like to take this opportunity to wish you a very happy Chinese New Year! It is the year of the monkey so you could expect a passing of the torch ceremony. After all, it is a Olympics year. Here's my version:

The "I'm Your Father" Meh

Do you think the "I'm your father" from Star Wars had been overused as a joke over the decades since  the movie? When I saw it in one of the Toy Story movies I thought it was funny. But then, that was never the first nor the last time it would happen. And... here's my version just before the goat hands over the torch to the monkey.

How the dead and trash shadow your thoughts

Art can be anything. Even trash and dead animals. While further enforcing the fact that life is not what it always seems to be, these awesome sculptures remind us about waste and poor abandoned dead animals on the streets.
To create their jaw-dropping sculptures, the duo arranges their finds into forms that include everything from scrap metals, personal items, empty packaging, and dead animals that were recovered on the streets, or 'gifted' to them by their grandmother's cats. Once the pieces are finished, the artists use a projector to cast light upon the sculptures, and in turn reveal shadows that range from cities to copulating rats to our most intimate acts.
No doubt these reminded me of the similarly creative game Shadowmatic.
