Malaysia
These are some illustrations I did last year for an advertising agency, Singnan Communications . I never got a sample but proud to see my illos on cookies tins. I never got to know who was the client either. I was told that these tins were limited edition.

1st licensing deal
This is my first deal licensing my greeting cards. Have been studying about licensing from the net. The publisher, PTS One agreed to all my terms (yay!) but I feel that there’s a missing piece in this whole new situation: an experienced licensing agent to help me with legalwork and paperwork, leaving me free to do the artwork. I’m gonna have to make do with my own arrangement for the time being. Are you one or do you know one; locally? If you are and if you do, please contact me via info@emilayusof.com to further discuss on how we can work together. I am interested in licensing my artworks for postcards, greeting cards or stationery items.

Rebinding old books
I’ve been up to so many things actually; and probably will never stop!
During the KLIBF 2008, Bapak asked me one day whether or not I could re-bind paperback books to hardcovers. I said I’d give it a try; so he brought two books the next day for me to try!
I like the ‘Dokter’ spelling!It was only yesterday, I managed to get my hands on these books. The covers are still in good condition so I maintained the cover. Sayang nak potong. This is what I did next:
I mount another layer of thick paper so that the paperback cover won’t be mounted to the new hardcover. The new layer will. I have to sacrifice the spine titling instead! Takut!
Noticed the yellowish edges? My husband told me that it would be good if I could send them for trimming. I will go out in the afternoon to have them trimmed. At the meantime, look at the hardcovers that I made!
They were made out of chipboard, cotton cloth, PVA glue and printable fabric paper. I don’t know where to look for buckram , so I use cotton for the time being. As for the printable cotton, I use Avery’s. Here’s a closer look.
I’m happy with the outcome but I’ve gotta listen to what Bapak has to say. He is a person who looks for quality and I really hope that my work is up to his standard. Re-binding is very challenging and it takes a lot of patience. I re-did them twice yesterday and it took me more than 5 hours to complete.
Basically, Bapak’s books are still in good condition, I didn’t have to re-sew or anything. I will be experimenting on a badly damaged book that I owned and will be documenting the process for me to share with all of you later. Later, after I finished unsettled works (i.e. Elisha’s tote, AKPK’s books, Bella’s t-shirts, etc). Hehe!
Nota buat Helmy : Helmy, esok lusa saya telefon anda, nak hantar buku Bapak!

Completed 3 commissioned totes in 2 weeks. My left middle finger got poked many times over by the needle, I know I should’ve used the thimble but the one that I have is too small! Ought to get myself a larger one!
