    Pak Samad aka Bapak turned 73 on 9th April. Happy Birthday Bapak! I made a special cartoon watercolor painting for Bapak to comemorate his new book, 68 Soneta Pohon Ginkgo.

    His son Helmy is petitioning for Bapak to get back the copyright of ‘Salina’. You can sign the petition here: Pulangkan Salina Petition. If you have facebook, maybe you can join his fan club: A. Samad Said Page.

    Save – IF

    Save the best for last | pastel + colorpencil on moleskine

    The theme is ‘Save’ over at Illustration Friday. Am a bit late for this week’s theme due to the KLIBF and some other commissioned work.

    When I was a kid, I would save the best piece for last during meal time, to me it was purely a joy. But sometimes I got unlucky because my sister would steal all the joy away from me and swallowed it fast!

    Rattan goodies!

    Rizal from Rest N Rileks came to see me at the KLIBF 2008. I never met blogger friends in real life except for Marzie and Helmy of course (they’re my offline buddies as well). I was suppose to pick up a frame from Rizal last week but since I was swarmed with works, Rizal offered to send me the frame himself.

    Beautiful isn’t it? This particular craft is designed by Ifa, Rizal’s student. I think Ifa has done a great job and hope she will produce more beautiful stuff. You can view more of this craft at Rizal’s Blog: Rattan Craft. Rizal also gave me goodies from IKN (National Crafts Institute)! Thank you so much to Rizal and Ifa!

    Squirrel!

    I’ve been trying to capture picture of this lil squirrel for quite sometimes but it was my husband, Zaim who succeeded. The papaya tree is situated right outside the window in front of Zaim’s working space. Having the camera by his side, he quickly snapped few shots.

    This squirrel might have traveled his way down to the housing area where we live from a nearby hill (Bukit Langat).

    And oh, for some reasons, my mom calls him Jebon (James Bond)!
