Another Mural!

Another Mural for Happy Bridge Preschool.
This one is for the entrance.

The challenge: find a big scaffolding construction so I can go paint that high.

After many phone calls, I finally found a group of construction workers who are willing to build me one. Yaaaay!! *Anyone who needs scaffolding, or just great construction people, I will share with you the number of the laoban, Mr. Zhen - very efficient, fair, and surprisingly not a loud person.

Anyway,
here it is! I feel that I should show you the scaffolding itself.
And that bamboo weaving sheet is supposedly to keep me "safer"

Happy Bridge

New mural project!

This time is in Shanghai, for Happy Bridge, a very cute trilingual preschool in Hong Qiao.

Done in 2 days, right in time for their Sunday Open House.

Come visit if you're in the area (it's inside the area of New Garden Hotel 新箢兵倌 at 1900 虹桥路）

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Wishing everybody a great time on their holidays.

This has been a great year. Hope you get to share it with your loved ones, wherever they are.

The Jakarta Post Weekender is inviting everyone to vote for their favorite covers. They have been around for 2 years with 23 great covers.

I would need your help to vote for one specific cover, the one with my illustration!
It is for their February 2008 edition, "Fitting In"
The edition featured articles around the issue of Chinese-Indonesian in Indonesia.
You can take a look of the complete articles here: http://www.thejakartapost.com/weekender/1826

(And you can also look around the other covers, but show more love to me)

So how you do it is:
1. Copy this following text on your email

I vote for February 2008 edition

2. Scan your ID, attach it to the email
3. Provide your daytime phone number in the email
4. Send it to bruce@thejakartapost.com
5. Invite your family and friends to join the voting thru Facebook or email forwarding

You can get a chance to win a limited edition Weekender T Shirt from Bruce Emond of The Jakarta Post, but the real deal is, if I do get voted for the favorite one, one of you will get a print of my painting!

Start voting!!

Back.

Hey y'all...

I am back in China after 2 weeks back home in Jakarta to get a new visa for me to re-enter this land of too-many people.
As I have shared on previous entry, I did some projects while at home, which I am always glad to do. Like this mural for a production house down south at Antasari. Too bad Murkin could not join :( [Check out the other solo Murkin&Murkin project http://the-slyndicates.blogspot.com/2008/06/murkin-murkin-solo-project.html]

At the end, it took 4 days, 22 hours, with the help of my 'apprentice' N'doy, who was a big help attending my brushes and paint cans, catching every drip and drop. And also some help by Nataya and a rising star, Aura Kasih, with the outlines of all the tiny circles...


Enjoy!

Home

Today is officially the last day on my visa.
But worry not, because I am home in Jakarta!

And, making myself busy, I have spent 2 days making this mural for WinMark, a production house at Antasari, South Jakarta. If you are in the neighborhood, stop by and check it out. You might find me coloring it next week before I leave Jakarta for Shanghai

China Daily

The result is finally out!

I got the Excellent Award in the China Daily Cartoon Contest on Environmental Protection.

Thanks to everyone during the process of the voting and all :)
