I've Lost My Rain




Part of my self promo was to create a 'message' and spread it, with the hope that the lucky recipients will become my disciples, and continue to tell the good people that 'I've lost my rain'. It was originally 'I've lost my brain' because scarecrows don't really have a mind of their own, but with the dry, desert theme going on in my original drafts, I told one letter that he was fired, so hence my new slogan. The circles could have been stickers but I'm better with sharp objects, so they had to make do with being badges instead. More to come!

To my beloved Sennheisers

Brought this up from the grave that is the Urban Soul magazine I was part of. I designed a advert page for the zine, depicting my Sennheiser HD201 headphones at the time. They broke in the summer, which made me sad face. RIP.

Island








Really liked this brief, it's too darn bad the time limit was short. I envisioned a world built upon a really massive crocodile, who swims around the world, devouring any country in sight. I'm yet to come up with a detailed history, but that will come soon, as I plan to keeping making stuff up for the gigantic croc (yargh, he/she hasn't got a name yet!), would be a waste to end this project just because uni don't need it. To be continued...

100 heads














Still not finished 100 exact heads, but one day I'll doodle them all, booyah!

Dukes









Design your own company! And so I did, a tea shop in the Northern Quarter, featuring a very loose style, kind of a slash between corporate and that art indie style, inspiration from Mr Scruff's tea merchandise. That, and my love for tea (and hate for coffee. While we're on the subject, I can't remember the last time I've had coffee, not even thought about it during my daring allnighters).
The research beforehand was me going undercover in Coffee Republic, scribbling notes down and taking cheeky camerashots of the shop menus, interior, etc. The manager didn't like that one bit, so I was 'demanded' to put down the sketchbook and drink the tea I bought. He probably just wanted to show his employers who was the big daddy around here.

Bot Blob Boogie



My first successful tenure in Flash animation, spent at least 24 hours (4 hours in making 10 seconds flow smoothly!) making this cursed crusade work. Quite happy with how it turned out, may probably come back to these characters in the future, booyah!

Headstrong







Poster designs and special gift boxes for an exhibition featuring helmets of war and con... read for yourself! Before I could even touch the full design, my unique typeface was created, which took horrendously ages, the Headstrong period was the beginning of many all nighters to come...
