DEKORE


Very talented young lad. Check some of his works in his very simple to navigate site! Nicolas Tual is quite a fresh grad but his talent is superb.! he has a few self art directed works and his illustrations are really eye catching. i love the colours he used and the characters he created. It is so awesome to be able to use your own personal style and touch on your client's work. I mean it's a great way to spread your art...


For now my design work has to cater to client's guidelines. I hope someday I get to spread my personal touch on big brands too.


Lovely lovely inspiration!


Oh, by the way, Erica is gonna feature in a segment tomorrow night on Channel News Asia. I better not miss that one! My classmates are all doing well. Viet tu is in Edinburgh taking her masters. I last hear Joanne is an berlin doing god know what. But im sure she's having a helluva fun time! And jie ni is launching her FYP book on chinese superstitions, which is super great!


I do have visions to expands my fyp. But im getting more drawn to geometric and minimalist things nowadays. perhaps i can incorporate that interest into my works. speaking of which, i need to build my folio soon. lots to do.... this is super exciting! but quite nerve wrecking!

Hannah Stouffer

I was struck by the busyness of her work. I don't know where to focus but in the end when you look deeper, the composition is quite interesting. Many layers of illustrations, colours and textures. Well Hannah Stouffer is an illustrator based in Los Angeles. She has done quite a few great commercial works for big brands.

Today is quite dry at work. I was looking for inspirations. I think I need to get the ball rolling for my website. I am doing up a fresh site map now. I have a couple of things to do. All this things make up a long list. Need to re-shoot some projects and I have a few projects need to be re-done. It's funny cause when I look at some of my works now, I was like hmm what was I thinking? haha.

Oh well. I need to make productive things in life. I want to feel useful.

Tali Gal-on

Tali Gal-on is an animator, designer, and illustrator based in Melbourne, Australia. She likes to draw things and move them around. Tali has written and directed short films which have screened at over 30 festivals worldwide, and has animated for TV and the web. She has also been illustrating and designing websites for over 7 years.

I like both her website and blog look and feel. I can easily find her identity. Also, I like her work concept. She has an Illustration Friday Day. So she comes up with any illustration related to a particular word for every Friday. Quite cool. I can do that with my doodles too.

Pieatri Posti

Pietari Posti is Barcelona based illustrator who makes art for publishing, advertising, editorial and product. He has an online shop, I think most designer/artists are going into entrepreneurship to market their works. It's not like the olden days where you hang or display your work like the Salon De Paris in the 18th Century. Fair enough we designer are our own creators, promoters, salesperson and the lists goes on. 

This guy, Posti has a very interesting style. Something that is very different. I love how the textures collide in the illustrations and the clever use of high and low tones in his works. The illustrations are 2D but the different tones makes it alive. Incredibly amazing as I looked through his works. I like his work space. He has everything he needs within reach. I think I need to re-space my space. Each time I need the scanner or my paints I need to dig them out.

I am thinking along the lines of online store too. I was just talking to Wani about marketing whimsical illustrations on products. I was thinking of producing my patterns as well. I worked hard at building that project i want to make it useful and productive as possible.

Insya'Allah. If God is Willing.

Frank Chimero

Frank Chimero has a really nice sense of humor. Not to mention, his illustrations are pretty cool too. I can see his personality from his work. Warm, fun and very spontaneous. I like his self project, the one with the different states and he did illustrations that best represent each state.

His website is also very clear and organised. I would love to sell my works too like him. Especially my pattern works which needs some fine-tuning to be done just yet.
