Another issue

As predicted, March has always been the hardest time of my life. Financially, psychically and probably mentally. i try my best for not complaining, but it is me you're talking about. if things are not on the right place properly, i would easily turned out to be drama.


I've been spending my entire time doing what i love (such as daily scribble doodles and other art experiments) for fun and ONLY for fun. Well yes, I know money cannot buy experience nor happiness. But considering i'm in state on unsecured finance, i should be more thoughtful about that. I need to sort out my priorities.

BUT IF... i force myself into high-paying yet high-pressure jobs, my head keeps thinking to do something else and is impossible and pointless way to continue the money-making job. 

But, Hey! It's only a month. it's only ONE freaking month. if only we will take moment to sit and write everything that has happened to us lately, actually it's not so bad. Yes, i almost drained every single penny of my savings, but i am lucky enough to be granted such big opportunities.  

like, who would have thought that i meet great new friends to sit, draw and basically do fun things together?! And how i could finally take my naive illustration to be exhibited on one of the most important spot of Jogjakarta?!
and just a couple days ago, i finally put check mark on my wish list : to do  magazine illustration piece.

Here are  my works for Working Mother Indonesia - March 2013 issue. 

Thanks tantru for the opportunity ;)

Buckle up

Time fly so fast. Fdels like was only yesterday i tie the knot, being a newbie in my current work and bam. What do you know, it has been 2 years. 

I look around. people i know have changed, old friends moved on, replaced by some new faces... It creeps the hell out of me that i'm the only one who stays.

Well, there are always reason to stay. In my case, i'm not ready.

I love art. I LIVE ib art. But in my country, no matter how much i want it, art is not a living. yet. Especially for a frickin mediocre like me. :p

I assume if i would like to make my move from this black hole, I just have to be a better person.

It's not really reaching for the star really, but it ain't easy either. 

Because there's no such thing as 'The Best'. in cooking, drawing, time managing and in everything i could. I wanna be just slightly a better human being.

I don't buy "practice makes perfect" thing, coz being perfect simply spoils the fun. But since my coloring sucked the world, lately i've been practicing a lot on it. Check it out

i'm really overwhelmed with all the gift these amazing people have sent me. i mean, these people are NOT just a person. they're the best illustrator i ever friend.


this came earlier this month, from lovely Alice Bonacina (popularly known as Ramrena). Italian illustrator who's currently live in UK. she ask me my fav animal, and then made this for me. I LOVE IT!! 
my cushion case in on the way to her house. thank you, rena :* 

Today, just arrived, a package full of lovely things from Jessica McLeod a.k.a monstacle ! She blog about everything! makeups, nail polish and amazing drawings! we had one thing in common, huge love-hate obsession towards America's Next Top Model (she blogged 'bout it, too) :D 

anyways, we swapped. i've sent her my handmade totebag, and she has sent-back me these : 2 comics (signed) and 5 cute badges which i wish i could pin it in my forehead. those are cutieeeees! thanks alot, jess. 

thank you all. you're all too kind. :*
