from batik to character

starts from this colonial batik..


modified, then made into two characters plus adjust it with my own style. Both of it also visually inspired from Hop-Frog, an Edgar Allan Poe's short story..

"Kharma"
A dark wizard with ability to control other's mind


"Aria"
A nature-born soldier, twin of Kharma


hurray for me! \m/

google: me

my recent random activity: google my name.
HOW PATHETIC.
well, a friend said "one way to measures your success is to google yourself"
haha.. and yeah, after few links of my social network and portfolio account, I found these sites that submitted my personal or commission work on the net.

1) remember my old post about 'pimp my drawing book'? my submission has been featured with other creative people who also join to make this communal work at an exhibition, called Fixer Exhibition, June 2010.



2) my commission work with SARBI, a literature journal, has been featured on this site. you could download the journal from there if you like.



3) my last typo project has been featured on this simple web by Luc Devroye, on a page which discuss "Type design in Indonesia". I found some other great people who made Indonesian custom type.



4) last but not least, my recent interview with an art blog named Something We Like. check it out! B-)

---------

I may not have a lot of achievement yet, but I hope there would be more 'me' in other prestigious site to google.

try to google yours ;)

Mrs. Jones and him

we got a thing going on
both know that it's wrong
but it's too strong to let it go now
we meet everyday at the same class
9 o'clock or even an hour late maybe
glance each other, making all kinds of jokes
while our mind and guitar plays our favorite song
Mrs. Jones and him
we got a thing going on
both know that it's wrong
but it's much too strong to let it go now
we gotta be extra careful
that we don't build our hopes up too high
'cause he's got his own obligations
and so do I
Mrs. Jones and him
well, when's the time for us to be leaving?
it would be hurt so much inside
I don't care if there's no way to go,
I like wasting my time on you
and tomorrow we'll meet at the same place, the same time


thank you for making my each day feels so special
but you won't read this anyway :p

sebuah jembatan di Bruges

Fulvio Roiter - Bruges 1959


Pernahkah kalian bermimpi dan mendapati satu setting tempat yang sama beberapa kali? yeah, I FINALLY FOUND IT! sebuah tempat yang mirip dengan tempat yang sempat muncul di beberapa mimpi gw. Gatau namanya apa, yang pasti gw sering berada disini di malam hari, kemudian pindah ke tempat lainnya. Jembatan, bangunan-bangunan tuanya, jalannya.. semua hampir mirip, cuma kurang lampu jalanannya aja. Letaknya di Bruges, pertanda apa ini, apakah di kemudian hari gw akan hidup di Bruges? hehehe :D


Mimpi itu lucu ya...

hitam putih


saya selalu berfikir,

cara terbaik untuk mengenal Tuhan adalah

dengan mencintai banyak hal

karena itu saya bersyukur atas alam semesta,

serta kebetulan-kebetulan yang diciptakannya

saya suka sekali perbedaan dan misteri

mereka yang membuat dunia ini begitu harmoni dalam kekontrasannya

menyiksa, tapi anehnya indah

tak selamanya putih itu baik

hitam itu jahat

semua subjektif

semua empiris

tapi ya... dunia ini toh memang cuma hitam putih

walau saya bukanlah seorang buta warna

fatal femme (typo project)


This is my typography project called Fatal Femme. Named from femme fatale, in French phrase it means 'deadly woman'. Each type has different character of Indonesian myths and ghosts.



Yeah, our country has a lot of ghost stories, and they're really interesting to explore. BUT the research really made me wanna...... kayang. Last few days = start to work at night, find out that nobody at the dorm want to accompany you after saw what you'll be doing, work alone then, read ghost glossary, search the story, sometimes hear just-not-important sounds that make you paranoid, google the 'real' picture, then re-draw it again :((


preview poster.. tadaaaaaaa



Blood, sweat, chills, and tears mate. Oh yeah, here's the complete list of the characters:

A for Roro Jonggrang

B for Nyi Pohaci

C for Crying Ghost

D for Calon Arang

E for Nyai Kedung, The Waterfall Ghost

F for Sarpakenaka

G for Incense Ghost

H for Nyai Rengkang, The Coastal Ghost

I for Pocong

J for Kuntilanak

K for Favored Ghost

L for House Guardian Ghost

M for Mak Lampir

N for Durga - Rangda

O for Palasik

P for Sundel Bolong

Q for Meeting Place Ghost

R for Nyi Roro Kidul

S for Nyi Blorong

T for Ancol Bridge Ghost (Si Manis Jembatan Ancol)

U for Headless Ghost

V for Snake Ghost, Guardian of the Rice Field

W for Tuyul

X for Wewe Gombel

Y for Ancient Dancer Ghost

Z for Ngesot Nurse
