Selamat Hari Raya Wishes 2012

Salam to all,

It's 2nd Syawal 1433H today, before too late, I'd like to wish Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all. Maaf Zahir Batin.

This year is very busy for me that limit my time for blogging and artwork creation. InsyaAllah, I'm trying all my best to get back to free lance artist / designer very soon. 

What I'm doing now is to establish and prepare solid base income from blogging and internet, before I can jump into this business for full time.

Wish me luck.

Hush puppies Malaysia Hari Raya Aidilfitri 2012 promotion

I did blogwalking to couple blogs and when I bumped into EmilaYusof's, it reminds me of Hush Puppies hari raya Aidilfitri 2012 promotion.

The artwork done by master of children's illustrator, EmilaYusof. Very neat, cute and adorable and I believe everybody will like it.

I wish I can get an assignment like this from such a big company, hopefully. Maybe I have to learn from the sifoo.

Fisherman and the fish

Now I have more interest in becoming a children book's illustrator, rather than doing architect's job. I start loosing my interest working as an architect. My passion in architecture is still there but my 'shield' getting weaker for staying back at the office, meeting clients, doing amendment, scolded by bosses etc.. etc..

Damn, this is serious.. maybe this is the result as I'm holding a 'worker status' again? I keep thinking that I should work on my own again, become my own boss. Hopefully can get back to work from home status very soon.

The illustration above done when I was at the staff meeting in my office. I was bored and it was drawn on the work progress sheet given to everyone of us. The coloring done later after the meeting.

What do you think of the artwork. Can I be a children book illustrator?

Painting business

I want to start all over again. I haven't done any painting for a while. Probably for nearly a year. I still have all my painting equipment store in my shop. I bought those equipment from the local art supply. Anyway I still need more source of art supplies to start my artwork. I have to get them from Kuala Lumpur.

I prefer to do landscape painting but I can do custom oil paintings, depends on clients request. If you like my artwork, you can buy fine art from my online art gallery. For the beginning, I've listed 1 oil painting for you to see.

Kuala Terengganu one day trip

I went to Kuala Terengganu on last Wednesday to pick up Adam Harith. Suddenly he called saying that he missed me. Without second thought, I rushed there after finished pasar malam. Left Muar about 11.30pm. Reach Kuala Terengganu by 5.00am.

I stopped at Sultanah Hajah Zanariah Mosque, Kuala Ibai, famously known as masjid terapung (the floating mosque). I snapped some photo using my camera phone. When I'm done with the night scene image, suddenly a petrol car stopped and ask for my ID and licence. I handed those documents plus my kad nikah (marriage certificate). They came because a phone call from the public. I think that is very good attitude from the polis, to avoid crime and maksiat.

After breakfast, I get to the masjid terapung again to shoot for daylight scenery. Then I go to Adam Harith's grandmom, pick him up, and heading to Muar. I was stopped by police traffic this time at Muazam Shah road block, for speeding. ... Bad boy... One summon credited to me. Actually I've already tired and try to get home as soon as possible.Finally I'm home at 7.30pm (after 1 hour picnic at Gunung Ledang Water Falls).

Today is Saturday. I have to send Adam Harith to Kuala Terenggau. Sorry to Rohaizad for last minute cancellation of personal coaching, which is held today.

Here is another batik painting from me. This time, the quality is better than the previous one. I will get it frame and sell it on caftanOnline.com, not ebay. The price is not expensive as I'm still not a professional artist.

Orchid for desktop wallpaper, and my batik painting

I'm bored actually. A bit tired because just finished rally at pasar malam, pasar pagi and pasar tani during weekend. Not much sales generated as the month is up to the end. This is the period when people start cutting their budget and waiting for the monthly wages payment. Besides, the wheater is not really good for outdoor activities.

Luckily there still some payment received for my stuff on ebay. I've been uploading the abaya, jubah and blouse for couple days ago. Now it's time for me to sit and relax, and waiting for sales and wathing some clips from YouTube.

I have second thought now about my listing for ebay Malaysia. Most of my customers has '0' feedback score. That's mean, they a really new to ebay. The problem is, some has made the purchase, but no payment received for more than a month. Sometimes they just ignore it. Now I start to feel give up to do marketing for ebay Malaysia. Previously, I quit from Lelong with worse problem.

Anyway, here are some images from my camera phone. If you want to download it, right click on the image, save as ....

koleksi gambar orkid cun

Here is my latest artwork, which painted on viscose, using batik technique. I was thinking to sell it online but the quality is very bad. This is because of the long rest from doing batik chanting. I have to do more practice...



I'm so exhausted when rushing on pasar malam, doing ebay, blogging and manage Muhasabah Trading outlet at a time. I am going to Johor Bahru this weekend for blogging tutorial class; personal coaching from Rohaizad. I wish I can stay at home after this, manage my ebay and do blogging for my main income.

I'm getting old, and seriously I need more time to spend for my wife, Adam Harith and for the Almighty. I want more spare time.

Unpublished art material

This is among my unpublished and uncompleted artwork from my collection.

It is quite hard for me to finish my painting especially when I am doing watercolors or oil.

But painting is my passion. It is kind of expression. It is my world.

I will put more effort to produce extraordinary painting in the future. Hope can get a masterpiece created...

Batik painting - Flower pot at the courtyard

Another batik painting done. This time, my chanting skills improved a lots but still got lack of colouring technique. I shouldn't put too much dark colors as it made the drawing dull. I supposed to highlight the front image. This is influenced by dim light ( I did this in the middle of the night till morning) and lack of patience.
I'm gonna get this framed, and put it on ebay auction.

Batik are not for SALE

Another batik painting done last night. This is not for sale because of the crappy quality. I was thinking something else but when I'm doing it, all the ideas just goneas I still can't control the melted wax flow.

The other reason I didn't produce well is because I'm still an amateur batik maker. I should use pencil to do the trace on the fabric, but I didn't. So the lines are not tele as it should be, for perspective drawing. My architecture skills has turned 'rusty'. My chanting technique still need more improvement.

...It's not easy to produce batik lukis as I thought before. Batik Lukis asli Terengganu is one of the best in town!
