In the world between transforming or imitating


somehow i think all of this entire art world makes me insane..
the border line between who imitate who, who copy who, is the question that will never stop questioned by the artists or designers themselves, and for the entire visual people of course. For me, it does not really matter of who imitate who, because I swear,people who did copy other's work would not do as beautiful, as sincere and pure as the founder them self.

Just be honest with our self as a designers, that we actually, memorize all of visual or verbal memories that we saw and hear to create something new that represent our own signature style. I believe that each of good designers have different technique and approach to develop their very own original style - which is shaped, transformed, influenced, by the things around them.

and i would say it is about 'TIMING'. Have you ever think, if only you invented something, but you haven't share it with someone else, then in the other society, a person called "mr.A" launch it before you. And, BOOM! there you are, when you finally share your invention up online, people would think that you copy mr.A. and sometimes you just can't say anything about it. Just a silence and felt stupid about it. Because you know, no matter what you do to make things clear, people are just people, world is just as tough as it should, and people would don't care the history behind it, they just care of what they see firstly.

So, can we just make fun of this term of plagiarism?
This book "STEAL LIKE AN ARTIST" by Austin Kleon reveal the most sensitive side of how designers actually copy to develop their work and use a word research and inspired by.. instead of plagiarism. But in a funny way, i mostly agree with him.
What do you think?

early xmas vibe


This is a wrong timing-post, but I can not wait to share this vintage look christmas wish list.Just see the positive side, that we can make the list 2 months before. We need extra preparation for the list, because so many things you wanna buy, so many ways to think about to persuade your parents to pay. Oh, maybe I should extend and create new list - ways to make your x'mas wish list comes true. By the way, I forget where I found this images, but since there is a website link on the footer, you can check their website, www.made-in-england.org. If I'm not wrong, you can download it for free.

happy listing!

La Sardina




Long time I never use and keep in touch with my oldies cameras. After a break from my special chemistry with my loved lomos, I checked lomography website and found this super yummy tasty and colorful 22mm wide-angle plastic lense camera. This is a fantastic design invented by lomography to fulfill the needs of fashion-photo-taker imaginary life. I'm so in love with this and can't wait to have them soon. Oh I wonder how perfect my look like when i hang this camera on my neck, will perfectly sweeten the day!

Christine Hale in her way


Have u heard about this illustrator/designer/musician ?

Christine Hale

Her work is unique,she has a notable style of poster making. Where the most designer in the world astound by digital development, she still stick with her comfort and distinct style of illustration, hand drawing, yes it is. It is so stunning that a typical 'when-i-was-a-kid' drawing could seem so fabulous, yet its also fun and could entertain us, the adults.

Check out her other art-life from her blog, here.

indonesian photographer

I am proud of Indonesian designers and photographers, we are not that too far from designer around the world. Andra Alodita is one of my fav indo photographer. Her signature style is clean, feminine, and natural. Check her blog here. (all photos are taken from her blog)

pattern made my day


Who likes scrap booking? I do. I would like to share what I just found on Etsy. These patterned paper usually used for scrap booker but you also can use it for other paper crafting, such as cards, tags, stickers, or wrappers. For the scrap booker out there, if you believe in eco friendly product, you can use this for digital scrapbook, so you do not need to print the pattern and waste the papers. The pattern is clean, modern, yet have a touch of vintage mood. You can buy these digital pattern from etsy, here(1), and here(2). And here for other link.

Do you have a same idea with me? Yeah, i really want to buy those pattern and start making books for my loved ones. Can't wait..

Have a great weekend,

And how about to decorate your working room with those lovely paper goodies from online shop Poppies for Grace (2). You might love to hang a nature and botanical print(3) from Miles of Light Etsy here.

Hatched



Hatched, small restaurant in Singapore, serve all about breakfast and inspired by egg. Baked, boiled, fried, poached, scrambled, you name it! they have it all! So, for the egg lovers, i recommend this rest as one of your fav breaky spot. The ambience was perfect to spend your lazy day with a cute shape yellowish light bulb and the furniture was so lovely, made by wood with the details of egg yolk shape as the window. This rest is all about the details, from the illustration, colors, bookshelf, the wall and the floor, and the menu book was designed perfectly. You can take a look at the website and the location here. And ohh, the website is so cute!

Have a lazy saturday!

Design Sponge

I am so in love with this, anyone wants to buy one for me? The book is about DIY and has similar content with Design Sponge blog. This is amazing, this is what i dream about, to create and produce my own DIY book.

intimate and relaxed


wanna experience some cosy cafe while you are in singapore? Try this cute cafe, Hairloom and Caramel near Suntec. Full of magic and they sell lovely handmade stuff there. The food was ok, but the place was amazing. Caramel is the name of the cafe, and Hairloom is a salon beside this cafe. That's all what girls need to spend their hoilday rite? couldn't agree more.
