Praise Team Logo Design

Another design for my church's praise team, this time is to be printed on polo shirt. This shirt will be wearing for more formal occasion such as Evangelical Meetings or church retreat. I know that praise team leaders are planning to wear this in the upcoming 2011 retreat this year!

I'm very excited that they are going to wear my design and walking around the campus :D Its almost like dream ~~~~ People wearing my design shirt!

I was thinking that I should design some unique shirt...maybe for personal indulgence ;P what do you think? I have something in mind but I need to actually do it >_< Hopefully this will be my next project! If you have any good idea, let me know please!

For those of new visitors, I have an art page in Deviant Art, if you liked my drawings please visit there and leave comments. Constructive and kind comments are welcome! ^^

Well, here is the polo shirt design, note that pictures rights belongs to CBCM & myself.
I'm also accepting projects and jobs; logo design, t-shirt design, concept character design and illustration <3

Thank you for reading, have a great day!

"Praise God" Praise Team Tshirt Design

Just finished a T-shirt design for our church's praise team. They asked me several months ago and I was honored to accept the job :D

I was very happy that I can use my talent to do something good for God and my church friends. I was sketching on my sketch book during Sunday service and got this image in my head, I tried to grab it before it's gone.

After I finished few sketches I showed to Praise team leaders Sandy and Rebecca, surprisingly they all liked it! It was the quickest approval I ever got! :D I'm glad that they accept the idea being "cute" for T-shirt design.

After got approval from the team I began to work on digital inking. I was quiet fun creating this sheep. It's Awassi sheep, a typical sheep in Israel. I didn't want to draw an ordinary sheep like everybody else, so I drew Awassi sheep, with cute curly hair. :D

Then I created a little chubby boy singing. He's actually King David, can you tell? LOL. Anyway, I made a staff for him also a modern t-shirt with a music note on it emphasis that he loves music.

On top of the Chinese words are "Praise Him", on the bottom is the bible verse from Psalm 96:1 "Sing new songs to the Lord...." ^^ I even picked the verse! I really liked it and I thank God to give me this privilege to design something useful!!

The printing company love my drawing, I'm surprised too! @_@ Never thought this many people liked my drawings....usually people don't say anything about my drawings...(-__-) Yeah I know. But!!! I'm happy.

I hope you like it too. If you are also designer/artist who designed for your church, drop me a note I like to know you! :)

GBU~

P.S. Sorry for the water mark...this picture belongs to my church... so I gotta put a mark on it to protect their property. >_<

Murakami Versailles

One of my favorite artist Takashi Murakami is having an exhibition in Versailles Paris. The works and the layout with Versailles are very unique…from looking at the pictures I feel the total harmony in it. Even though one is modern and one is very classical styles! I really liked Murakami’s art, I was one of the person collecting his LV purse! hahaha, yeah, I got little purse and a small bag BUT I’m very happy that I got.

Mr. Murakami said something about this exhibition:

“For a Japanese like me, the Château de Versailles is one of the greatest symbols of Western history. It is the emblem of an ambition for elegance, sophistication and art that most of us can only dream of.
Of course, we are aware that the spark that set fire to the powder of the Revolution came directly from the centre of the building.

But, in many respects, everything is transmitted to us as a fantastic tale coming from a very distant kingdom. Just as French people can find it hard to recreate in their minds an accurate image of the Samurai period, the history of this palace has become diminished for us in reality.

So it is probable that the Versailles of my imagination corresponds to an exaggeration and a transformation in my mind so that it has become a kind of completely separate and unreal world. That is what I have tried to depict in this exhibition.

I am the Cheshire cat that welcomes Alice in Wonderland with its diabolic smile, and chatters away as she wanders around the Château.

With a broad smile I invite you all to discover the wonderland of Versailles.”

Takashi Murakami

Well, the exhibition is running currently running and it will end at Dec. 12th, 2010. If you happened to be in Paris, please visit there and… oh, please bring some souvenir for me will ya?   

Illustration thoughts

I was suppose to post my work in here at least once or twice a week but I failed -_-
I should take the most of blame because lack of motivation...not that I don't like to draw but too much going on in my life >_< Oh well, who doesn't?

Thought I should keep my promise... it's for my own good! Oh yeah, I found a wonderful program called Illustudio! It's combining Photoshop, SAI and Managa Studio! I can't wait to try it xD

This is Moon. She's an adorable girl with an amazing ability! She should save the world! xD Well, I'm still working on my first manga, hopefully I can get started draft soon ^^ Cool guys + cute girl = AWESOMENESS!  :P

Thank you~~

Illustration - Love with no reservation

Just finished an illustration fro our church's Home New cover. We have this publication since 1969.. it's been there for long time :)

Members will write various articles about bible, life and health related issues and we publish on quarterly basis. This issue's theme is "Love with no reservation"
So I was thinking to find some simple clip art then put it there... but I couldn't find anything fits my thought, so I drew a picture.

Not sure if anyone will notice these details but.. it's my intention to tell people;
The white lily symbolized purity of God's love, and under the lily there is a hen/bird.. whatever it looks like.. xD and chicks hiding under her wings.

There are seven chicks, again, symbolize perfect. Also if you look the white lily from far, you'll see a cross shap...it's God :)

Well, I hope they will like it. I'm kind of nervous that they will say something like "childish" or "Too cartoonish.. not serious enoug..."... Oh boy, I hope not. >_<

I really liked this... this is my favorite! Hope you like it too!
