    Drawing from memory

    Oscar Wilde once said, “Memory… is the diary that we all carry about with us.”

    True enough. Can you believe that  I drew this based on memory only?

    I did not have underwater camera so I use my memory to record things I saw during my trip to Tioman few years back. To me this was quite an accomplishment as I don’t always remember things. I guess when we really want to remember, we can really remember. But this could not be compared to what Stephen Wiltshire can do. Really amazing! Watch this video: Drawing from Memory. I want his brain (in Sylar tone).

    P/S: I must visit them fish soon. But on upper part of East Coast. Perhentian is on my mind.

    Designer collection at Foldees.com

    I have been wanting to post this news for quite sometimes already but I simply forgot. Some of my friends have noticed the Foldees’ widget on my sidebar already and congratulate me on the new addition of cards on Foldees.com. I posted an update on my personal facebook page a while ago but that was just about it. I totally forgot to blog about it. Until today. 😀

    I have new cards on Foldees besides the ones that I entered for their competitions. And with the cards already in their online and retail shops, I suppose I can declare myself the first designer to submit my cards for their Designer’s Collection. Yes, Chak?
