“The Secret Garden” (2012)

Mixtape cover done by yours truly. The idea is to create cover for series of mix cds by using outstanding graphic styles throughout the history. This one is made out as The Secret Garden by borrowing Art Nouveau element into it. 

“The New Playground” (2011)

These picture above are taken at Karet Bivak and Dukuh Atas area using 35mm on my FM10. Some kids out of this world are hanging out at the graveyard or certain spot which is not usual to be a place to play at. I couldn’t say that they are unlucky enough to experience that, because as matter of fact, they seem happy. And probably happiness isn’t about where you playing at, but deeper than that. It is about fitting yourself at any ground, at any spot, with a big heart to accept the reality.

“Sliced” (2011)

Doodles around. It’s been a busy month since I started to work in the new agency. Looking forward to make better things soon.

“Kreasi Komunikata” (2011)

Initial identity for Kreasi Komunikata, soon to be a private firm which aspires to explore the medium of communication through publication and graphic design. 

“The Underdog” (2008)

I have been tracking back some of the works I’ve done before and I think this piece is still be my favorite. It actually made in a set of 3 (three) and all addressed to show how witty an underdog camera could be. Holga 120CFN has always been my favorite toy camera to do some experiment with.

This is one of the poster shown at the graduation exhibition back in the college time years ago. I was into copywriting back then, and I guess I kinda like the line I wrote for this, whereby Holga - ‘The Underdog’ of medium format world. 

“Bidukmas” (2011)

Initial identity for Bidukmas, a private company based in South Sumatera which provide cargo services, logistic, transportation, also contract lease of different types of tugs and barges.  

“5.25” (2011)

Quoting Annie Leibovitz: “The camera makes you forget you’re there. It’s not like you are hiding but you forget, you are just looking so much.”

“Nanako Uchida” (2011)

Some extra shots taken last weekend for Silent Scenery’s upcoming album. That was the last day for Nako to be in Kuala Lumpur before she head back to New Zealand. A very nice chick, really.  

“Luau, Limbo and Libations” (2011)

“There will be roasting and toasting. There will be dancing and perhaps some prancing. It’s all happening cause we’re getting hitched!” 

“Concrete Dreams” (2011)

One thing I like to wander around in Singapore is (obviously) its sterile and concrete buildings all over the country. Everything seems too fine, too neat, too stiff to take, but yet it still the best place for me to get away sometimes. 

These photographs are manipulated version of the originals taken last year at Esplanade, Wheelock Place at Orchard Road and Iluma at Bugis Junction. 

“The Vessels” (2011)

These are trees taken from 3 (three) different spots in Bangkok. I read once that trees invite us to absorb their essence entirely, and we do this by tapping into their infinite branches of energies.

As a symbol, tree symbolizes a way of classifying, identifying and organizing the array of energetic knowledge they contain and incorporating this array in our daily life. Interesting thing, it is being said that trees are vessels, containing strata of different wisdoms. 

“Berlin” (2011)

Strips of embedded panoramic shot for The Trees and The Wild acoustic session at Badger KL a night before they headed off to Mosaic Music Festival in Singapore. Taken from The Noble Savage to Berlin via Our Roots. 

“Love Letter” (2011)

Arrangement of letters to carry one of personal writings done not so long time ago. I was playing around with small caps of Delicious, my current favorite font by Jos Buivenga from Exljbris Font Foundry.
