Anonymous said...: Hi! I came across your artwork accidentally while surfing the net, and so far I am impressed with all of them. If you don’t mind me asking, what sort of media do you usually employ to create the background of this artwork. I am not an illustrator or a graphic designer, thus, I am not familiar with the technique and media that you had employed. But I am keen to learn on how to create this type of artwork. Thanks!; 6:07 AM, January 13, 2008

Thanks for dropping by and liking my work. ('u')

Basically the background elements are done with mixed media like pencil sketching(angels & colour clouds), watercolour (splatters etc.), japanese brush. Some elements are vector images constructed using Freehand software and all elements are finally composed in Photoshop software.

Hope i answered your question. ('u')

thank you once again!; 11:31 PM, January 14, 2008

secretly a Sadako's fan, she has stopped watching any horror movie since The Ring. only recently realised that Sadako has still actually left a profound impact within her since then. this contribution is her expressions of fear (and love?) towards this classic horror movie figure with her own unfashionable fashion. through this exercise, she hopes to conquer her inner fear by getting familiar with Sadako's spirit. WARNING: you may not find any substantial value in Sadako's diary, read on at your own risk.

I like simplicity with essential details. I adore people and things that are in harmonious contradictions, the same way I appreciate black and white. Sophie Black is the epitome of such paradox. She is my alter ego in a pseudo reality and an expression of every girl's macabre and conflicting self. She appears to be mischievous, strange, bewitching and sinister but when told about her appearance, she blushes and giggles like a child full of glee. Her long black hair expresses her wildest ideas, her extended eyelashes reveals her desire, and her pale skin reflects her unpretentiousness.

I would like you to meet her here.
