I think about how
it might have been
We'd spend our days
travelin'
It's not that I don't understand you
It's not that I don't want to be with you
but you only wanted me
The way you wanted me

So I will head out alone,
and hope for the best
We can hang our heads down
as we skip the goodbyes
and you can tell the world what you want them to hear
I've got nothing left to lose, my dear
So, I'm up for the little white lies
But you and I
know the reason why
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there

I'll buy a magazine searching for your face
From coast to coast, or whatever I find my place
I'll track you on the radio
and I'll sign your list in a different name
But as close as I get to you
It's not the same

So, I will head out alone
and hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back
and say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big
we can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I
know the reason why
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there

So, steal the show, and do your best
to cover the tracks that I have left
I wish you well,
and hope you find
whatever you're looking for
The way I might've changed my mind
but you only showed me the door

so I will, head out alone
hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back
and say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big
we can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I
You and I...
You and I...
know the reason why

trying to compile the works for this whole semester at school. four plus months have just passed that quickly and yes am really thankful for the timely vacation break. adding on these four plus months to the last semester and yup.. ive spent a whole year at lasalle, at that little printmaking haven.. that studio space overlooking the mountbatten canal...relentlessly devoting to art as though is like a new found religion.

and that "new found" means
unwavering faith. i have never been more than thankful

Medium: Lithography

Medium: Silkscreen

man's best friend

my previous maid came over to visit us quite a few sundays ago.
i just feel that this photo speaks to me. :)

Contorted breasts. hah.
wanted to try out Egon Schiele's style of drawing. erotic.

this is one life drawing that i did which i kinda really like.
the strokes and deliberate erasings on the paper, i guess i kinda 'feel' it forthat lesson.
Joo is a really great life drawing lecturer. :)
Art is all about the expressions. i guess is all that matters.

Finally worked out the last image for the stone.
Collage.
Woohoo. i do hope the outcome is something i like. :)

litho sessions

these are the first two images i worked on the stone.
this semester is about exploring the female sexuality.
top: image on the stone, bottom: charcoal drawing

this was taken on LaSalle C-Day. Lip's mural was almost finished and we decided to have our faces taken with it. dont ask why we are are standing like that.sometimes its hard to figure ourselves too.

lina took this when the three of us were busy printing the stone.dont we three look like three budding lithographers?haha. or perhaps more like performing ER to the stone. this semester lithography was alot of sweat and labour but loads of fun! thanks to Bee ling! i shall post up pictures of my progress soon.
cheerios to printmaking! and to the two other crazy studiomates of couse. hah.

was browsing my pictures folder for ideas for the third image im working on lithography...seems like its time to take new photos!!! and yes when i saw these pictures, i couldn stop laughing. i remembered that i was supposed to prepare a video for entry into ADM and it was a last minute thing on my part, but i swear the idea had been loitering round my mind for quite some time before i decided to finally execute it ha. 'UNHEARD', and it was literally unheard of until i post it out now haha. maybe i should continue its sequel one of these days when im free (when will i be free man) hah. and yes, how i missed those smelly shoes.
