In A Rap

I'll do this like a rap, gathering all topics in one single post.

My fujica m1 has arrived two days ago and I can't wait to load films in it. It's not that I'm bored with my yashica, that camera is so heavy. Genuinely it's not that heavy, it's really just not compatible with my bags (mostly). Oh, and I've taken few photos with my new kitty instax, been thinking to scan it and upload it online. I'll probably scan it after my painting this Sunday is done, so that I can post them too.

Also, this event MiArt really drools me. It's in Italy, so how can I manage to get myself there this instance when it ends on April 15th. Its tickets are only ranged between 10 to 15 euros and I still have 20 euros and 15 pounds in my wallet from the last time I went to London (and still do have 20 US dollars, a Christmas gift from my aunt). Sad enough to feel that I have enough cash to buy the ticket but still can't go. Talking about cash, this October I'm going to see Big Bang live. It's my birth month, cash is an issue that probably I can do something about. So it's just about can I get the ticket or not. Hopefully I can hand myself the ticket. I've been a fan of Big Bang since 2007, you know how it feels right?

One last thing, I'm calling for all freelance writers to write short stories for my SpaceInks project. Still gathering all of the stories so I can start making the illustrations for each stories. But if you're interested on creating the illustrations as well, do contact me too. I will have July as a free month, by then this offer is still open. Few has submitted and I'm hoping for another fresh short stories. No terms applied other than it is your original ideas. Email me your short stories to: banadnadsplit@gmail.com, looking forward to read yours!

Thousand Regards

Really, Japanese artists know how to please my eyes. Now it's Tomokazu Matsuyama's turn. He's known for having style in blending Eastern and Western cultural. Nicknamed as Matsu, his paintings are, I don't know, very Japanese on the side that I can tell, but having these psychedelic triangles and modern-curvy shapes at the same time. The colours are also bright. Ones even have these spacey identities, like white dots as stars, or nebulae-like colours. As for the sculpture, well, I find it interesting. There was this great silver horse, and surprisingly, it had Lego-like people on its back, riding. Why this post was titled "Thousand Regards" is that it's the name for his solo exhibition at the Katzen Arts Center of the American University Museum. You might want to check his works. I like Matsu! Here are some of his works (ones that I love!)

Charlotte's Pink Hair

I stumbled upon these fashion spreads when I was reading my daily dose of Japanese online magazines. Then, this one caught my eyes. Pink hair in pastels. 'Twas Numéro Tokyo May 2012 issue. The one that has Lindsey Wixson as the cover (really, still don't like her chin). Eric Guillemain was in charge of the photography in this issue and in this mermaid-like photoshoot. I really want Charlotte Free's hair colour (at the moment, who knew I might change my mind).
