Art Post

[aide]

Cuz shourai and I were just talking about Ohno and his talents, I thought I should post about my own art. I wish I had kept drawing regularly and stuff after high school but IB killed my love of making art for a long time. I think I paint about... once a year now. And draw even less than that. It's a shame.


Dream Catcher
1999 (Grade 9)
Graphite, coloured pencil on paper
42.0 x 59.4 cm
My mom's favourite piece of my work. It's hanging in the hall at home, first thing you see when you come in the front door. She made greeting cards out of this picture. :D


Haida
1999 (Grade 9)
Watercolour
42.0 x 59.4 cm


Identity
2001 (Grade 11)
Acrylic, oil pastel on plywood
"Self-identity" was the theme of this piece... had to include elements that were personal to us and a self-portrait, IBH Art in grade 11. My best self-portrait ever.


Broken Home (Mock up)
2002
Marker, coloured pencil on paper
(Final: Acrylic on styrofoam and plywood)
This is a mock up of one of my pieces for IBH Art. All the different languages for "home" were kind of a bitch. Didn't really like how the final piece turned out, but alas I don't have a picture of that (yet). The english Home in b/w was done in styrofoam in 3D. It stood out way more.


Doodles
2002 (Grade 12)
Graphite on paper (homework agenda)
... Yeah I was bored in English.


Samsui (in progress)
2002 (Grade 12)
Acrylic on canvas
Inspired by Singapore's Samsui women of the early 20th Century. One of my favourite pieces; it's hanging in my parent's bedroom. :D


Shophouses
2002
Linoprints

Singapore's shophouses in lino prints.


Feet
2003
Graphite, marker on paper
21.0 x 29.7 cm
Drawing in front of the tv~


Don't Talk During Sex
2003
Marker on paper
21.59 x 27.94 cm
Inspired by a conversation with my friend Kevin, in Matisse' style.


Manuel
2004
Graphite on paper
21.59 x 27.94 cm
Gift for Manuel after 1st year.


H
2004, summer
Acrylic on canvas
29.7 x 42.0 cm?
This is pretty crappy... Your eye gets caught on the dark square in the middle but I was bored to the max that summer. But you can see the colour of my old bedroom!


Untitled.
2007
Acrylic on canvas
15.24 x 15.24 cm
I painted a really cool flower for Kevin (which I don't have a picture of D:!) and Manuel complained that I never made him art anymore... so I painted this before I left for Japan.


Conversing
2008
Acrylic? on poster board
27 x 27 cm
First art done in Japan~

Thoughts? Comments? I really wish I had better quality pictures and of all of my stuff. BAD ARTIST.
