the worst of 2011.

 7-day travel essentials . . .

i hand sewn this last summer

right now it all went like slow motion
last week i literally dipped myself into work everyday
while
this week is such a damn turn off

i hate snails
and hate being like snail


BATTERY RECHARGE !!

Trời ơi

"Trên cao đám sao sao xà
Bao giấc mơ hoang đường
Bao trái tim mơ mộng ngủ say
Nơi đây ít vui hơn buồn
Ta khát chung câu cười
Son phấn thay cho lời điu hiu.

...

Em nay biết yêu hoang tàng
Nay biết yêu hoang đường
Nay biết yêu sao trời mộng mơ
Em nay muốn dâng tim đầy
Nay muốn khoe ngu khờ
Nay muốn vui hơn buồn
Trời ơi , lạy Ông. "



(Lê Cát Trọng Lý)

 

" Listen to the girl

As she takes on half the world

Moving up and so alive

In her honey dripping beehive
Beehive

It's good, so good, it's so good

So good
...

Eating up the scum

Is the hardest thing for

Me too do

Just like honey

" Staring at his cleft moon for seventy-six minutes, i begin to understand its abstraction: high-contrast lighting conscripts the ass into being a figure for whiteness itself, particularly when the ass merges with the blank leader at each reel's end. The buttocks, seen in isolation, seem explicitly double: two cheeks, divided in the center by a dark line. The bottom's double structure suggests another, anatomical, abject way to read the double in Warhol's work: as a representation or displacement of the butt's two cheeks, or of any bodily bifurcation (testicles, vaginas, breasts). Taylor himself was Andy's double - a man with the knack of over-turning stigma through outrageous pantomine. "



" Home was where he glued himself back together: he used the word glued to describe his process of self-repair, which involved literally gluing the wig to his pate. "

[Wayne Koestenbaum on Warhol]

my favorite mag, beside i-D ..

cineposter by William Klein 1961

i bought ' Only Yesterday ' about 2 years ago. charming, pleasant and sensible portraiture of a 27-year-old female character and her observation with life, nostalgic childhood and the love for countryside.

not that i'm particularly in a pastel mood l a t e l y let alone the fact that everything-pastellised is the current - everywhere - trend, i have always been drawn to minimal style (those who know me, know that well) and gentle, pastel-y hues -- clothing, colours, collectibles -- things that need no frills and fancies to make them sound. the colours/ styles/ observation and narration of this classic Studio Ghibli, for me, is timeless. when i watch the ''making of'' feature, i was amazed at such modern minimal, effortless and stylistic animating vision was portrayed in 1990.

it reminds me of how-what-why i'm made of -- like what i am now, today .

it might not be a thing for adventure-driven minds. funny how these days i just keep turning this on for hours, while drawing my projects and humming with the Japanese folky background tunes.

things that are -- simple, sound.

the shapes

" do what you love. and do it often "

come to the realization of 20-year-old's frustration.

a few of 'sound' illustration for my Sensory Tv uni brief.
been practicing to improve the fluidity and create something coming out of cliche.
sound -- ambience -- visual echoes.

có những lúc chẳng biết phải làm gì nữa
đi tiếp thế nào
rẽ ở đâu

quặt/ băng/ quẹo ?

đầu thì đau
chân tay thì lỏng lẻo

nhòe nhoẹt

đâu còn là trẻ con nữa!

đừng là đám mây đen.
làm tia nắng mảnh,
hay là gợn sóng,
gợn gió
vẫn hơn,

mang niềm vui cho người.
