Overdue April journal pages that I managed to scan recently.
A Sunday out with a friends in three different venues and three different time of the day. Managed to do some pencil sketches of their caricatures. The thing that delayed me from scanning this page was that I thought I was going to redraw the sketches with black ink but it never happened. And finally I thought they kind of look good as they are in pencil outlines anyway. By the way, notice that red ink image of my ‘dip’ (it is read as D-I-P) logo on the top right hand corner? I got this custom-made rubber stamp for myself recently.
Bread steamer. It was something I saw and drew on the spot from the table I was sitting at the coffeeshop near my house when I was having my breakfast.
I illustrated a scene I pictured in my mind when I read the story of Gideon in the Bible which is found in the book of Judges 6:22–24. Also I bought a book by Joyce Meyer, ‘Battlefield of the Mind’, a book written and meant for women.
I was at the restaurant when I was reading the topic on ‘When is my mind normal?’ from ‘Battlefield of the Mind’ book and started jotting down notes. It is one powerful book!
I picked up a few books at the MPH Warehouse sale nearby my house. Caught up with Nick Quah, an old friend from college, after so many years after graduated.
Parable of the sower – an illustration I did with a local Malaysian style of farmer and village.

She’s well now, of course.

It’s an old piece of newspaper cutting I have been keeping til today. The comics have been enlarged for viewing.
Back in 1994, these comics were submitted by my former secondary school Maths cum Chemistry teacher, Ms Foo, to The Sun Paper’s Contributor’s Page a.k.a. Comic Relief, without my knowledge! And my work got published one day she sent me this newspaper cutting. It happened back in 1994 when the teacher whom happened to be my favourite at that time, was transferred back to her homestate, Penang. Kept in touch with her a bit and sent her some cartoons I drew of her. I can recall then was the starting point where I discovered that I had a passion for drawing cartoons, self taught I guess.

This is something I found in my hardisk just couple of days ago when I was looking through my archieve files. This piece of drawing was done in 1992!! during my school days. Back then the colouring medium I used was something called ‘magic pen’ and the ink was not water resistant therefore it smeared over the years. But I am glad the black outlines were drawn with Pilot pen, my childhood favourite pen, the ink lasts til today!

This was something I did for a car windscreen sticker way back in the year 2000, and only managed to retrieve the original file successful from the CD using my friend’s PowerMac. My MacBook Pro could not read the CD due to the sensitivity of CD-Rom drive, I think.
