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!

Doodle with DeviantMuro!

Recently DeviantArt luanched a new online program called Muro. It's like online drawing application but you can set different layers and use diferrent brushes to draw picture, then you can publish it into your art gallery.

I was trying out and having fun with it...I found it's very interesting and fun to use, despite that the program isn't responding to my pen tablet very well...they might have to improve that over time.
Other than that, it's a fun program to use and I really enjoy it.

If you're interesting to find out more, you may join Deviant Art and create an account, it's free :) then you can use the program!

Awww. I really liked the cat ^_^ MEOW!!!

Vector design

Hello guys!
How was your Monday treating you? Mine was pretty busy even today!
Well, today I'll be sharing one of my first ever vector creation; Panda head!

I was following up with a very useful tutorial on internet and I thought it's very cute to try it out. I must tell you, it's kinda hard to figure where and what to use, but after my first creation I must say that I've learned A LOT and now I'm more comfortable to get familiar with illustrator.

It is very useful and powerful program, and I recommend all of you vector lovers LEARN it!!! :)
Hopefully one day I'll be able to create many cute arts with illustrator ^___^
Well, enjoy my panda and visit my art page in Deviant Art : MarlinX Art Page

BYE~~~ ^___^
