New family members 招财 and 进宝!

New family members 招财 and 进宝!, originally uploaded by DevilProject.

My sister also wants to have her own pets so she decided recently that she's going to get hamsters. We went over to the Pets Lovers @ Northpoint and got these 2 cute little creatures.

And they are staying where?
My room... Because, I'll be leaving soon and it'll be empty.

Berie good... I thought to myself. Brilliant.

Tonight I'll sleep with 招财进宝; and they kept running the wheel non-stop... That is why at 3.40am now, I'm still awake, blogging...

Hurhur... Oyasumi na sia.....

My 3rd piece this year. When I was younger, I didn't really do figurative drawings; didn't know why either. Somehow this time round I seemed to do more of that.

I started drawing from last nite; but I didn't complete as I couldn't. Just can't do the face. And I dozed off sleeping in an extremely odd position that I can't even describe; which gave me such a bad backache.

[Denial] was an apparent source of ideation; inspiration came mainly from JJ.

I couldn't grasp the way to illustrate the lighting cast on the subject. But at the least, I can feel the emotion that I wanted it to be seen, or so I hope.

[Reflection] by Stella Jamie Lui

This was a painful drawing. I was repeating 2NE1's Slow (It Hurts) R&B number the whole night. Random google led me to Richard Phillips's “Mirror" and that reflected on how I wanted to convey how I felt then.

[Reflection] purely reflects the captured moment.

[Untained Tain]

[Untained Tain], originally uploaded by DevilProject.

It's always the sleepless nights where I'll be blasting some R&B in the background and surfing headlessly through the net that. An idea might get planted. And usually it's one of those lousy nights too.

This had been the first full piece after 10 years the I had picked up the lead.

At 30, having gone through a smooth sailing journey all my life (Mostly); managing crisis and temptations have become relatively more challenging, hence, hateful.

It is no longer easy to tell a clear good; and an absolute bad. And I thought I was good with reading.

People just move along the meter; skewing to which ever sides as it deems fit.

[Untained Tain] is an attempt to remind myself that no one is born perfect; but it is up to one to strive towards perfection.
