One last thing...
Before I forget, just want to let you know I'll be at Armaggedon Expo this year :) I'll be doing the same thing as Manifest, but I will also be selling Tshirt designs!

Steve Jobs Speech
For the past year I have been reading the Steve Jobs book. I have always been a slow at finishing a book, as I rarely find myself to have time to read, or even be bothered to read.
Before I purchased his biography, I came across his speech at Stanford which my parents forwarded to me.
My favourite quote throughout the whole speech is this one:
“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”
It makes me wonder if the world was about to end I think one of my regrets would be that I never finished his book.
I guess it's time to make time. :)

Manifest commissions
As promised here are some of my Manifest drawings. I drew a lot more but I didn't have time to take photos.
Some of these aren't great in my opinion, but managing to drill through so many commissions in a short amount of time is a huge achievement for me. I'm hoping to take a different approach at Armaggedon and try and stick to using 2 colours as opposed to colouring it fully. Armaggedon is in 2 weeks so stay tuned as I'm going to be selling t-shirt designs there too!

Feedly your brain
Was at work the other day and came across this website...
Speaking of interface good job to Blogger for making it easier to post! (And having google analytics too)
For those of you that use google reader this is the most amazing thing ever. The interface is so much more appealing to look at, and makes it easy to go through your posts. The only thing I would recommend is having the favourites section in folders so I know what where to find my favourites.
It also has an app version on Iphone and Ipad which is very similar to Flipboard.

Manifest 2012 + lots of new links!
Hello!
It's been a while since I've updated my blog but thought I'd give you guys an update on what I've been up to.
Last weekend I decided to set up a stall at Manifest with my friends Liz, Jordan and Winston (with help from my PR bf Arv) selling commissions and my Greetings from Looi card range. Although I only sold 5 cards lol, I managed to make heaps of sales through my commissions which was surprising! I haven't drawn anime since high school, so it was a real challenge for me to do portraits in anime style. I'll admit some of them weren't very anime-ish lol, but it was still really fun to draw for people under pressure. I managed to draw 39 portraits over 3 days, so I'm very happy with myself that I managed to churn them out that fast. A fear I had was that my stuff wouldn't sell that well (seeing as I don't really draw anime often) but to my surprise people still really appreciated it and were happy with the pictures they received. I was also very happy that my sign managed to get people's attention (thank you to my year working in a advertising studio!)
I think after doing Manifest it has really ignited my passion again in illustration, something which has been lacking for a really long time. Hopefully I'll be able to attend more conventions and hopefully find that signature style I have been craving for! (I'm aiming for Armageddon but we'll see)
When I have time I might post up some of the work I did from Manifest.
All I have is this picture which, if you were there you probably remember passing by the Pikachu and Squirtle. My friend Jordan requested Charmander and Bulbasaur to make an appearance...
(And by the way they are in a conga line!...so many dirty people around :P)
In the mean time if you'd like to see more of my work you can find my work in the links below!

Sketch 1
I drew these over my annual break. I wanted to get better at my technical drawing but kind of lost interest in finishing it. Referenced these girls from my Japanese magazines. They kind of don't look Asian here for some reason :/
The second one kind of looks like Sunny from SNSD but it isn't.
