Proposal for Istana Dangdut VCD Inlay

When ever I hear the word "Dangdut", I'll imagine our very own Dangdut Queen Zaleha Hamid 'gelek' to the rhythm of this bangra inspired sound which was highly popular in Indonesia which fuses Indonesian & Indian music into one lively dancebeat.

But nowadays, It'll remind me of old, fat makciks and pakciks dancing to this dangdut beat in a sleazy bar.... and all those hanky panky buisness afterwards. Ewwwww!!!

This is the inspiration behind the design of this VCD inlay. I want to make it a bit livelier by adding some disco lightings and glitter to add glamour to it.

Wah!! Enaak Banget ni.........

Proposed cover for the 2nd Edition of this 70's Indonesian Hits compilation.

"Enaak Banget".... which literally means very delicious is the setting of the concept idea of this album cover. The audio cassette tape on the plate symbolize the 70's music scene and is still delicious enough to be lapped up by today's listeners. The whole idea is to have that 70s feel but in a fresher approach.

Wah! Enaak Banget dech!!!


UPDATED!!!!
This is the final look of the VCD cover & inlay.
Gone are the colorful background, cassette tape & fork and spoon.
Replacement : Gado-gado & Ayam penyet
Background: Wooden texture (wooden table?) & Batik napkin.

I go retro.... 70s & 80s scene Music CD cover

I was given another opportunity to design an album cover (from Life Records), a compilation album of the 70s / 80s music scene in Singapore. Growing up loving songs from the retro era, I don't have much problem coming up with the concept, but as far as possible, I want to have it looking fresh with a simple touch of retro.

The one on the left is the original artwork before the touch up.
The one on the right was given a slight color treatment.

Art Clock - revisited

If you have been following this blog, you may remember my "Art Clock" project that I wanted to kickstart. I met with quite a number of obstacle like difficulty in finding the right material and also a reasonable good quality clock device.

I almost given up, frankly. I've used different material such as backboard made of steel, acrylic and paper hardboard. The end result was somewhat flimsy and doesn't look professional. After some tweaking, I managed to overcome it, but the clock device was not working as good as I expect it to be. (made in China, maybe?) I'm still looking for a good one, so far no luck.

These are two of the latest ones that I did during my free time.

Inspiration from a documentary

I was watching a documentary about child abuse a few weeks ago and it left a very deep impression. I felt disturbed and was always thinking about those neglected children. Some even end up as child prostitutes and slave. What is worse is when the parent themselves sold their kids as prostitutes to clear up their debt.

During those saddened episode, I came up with this picture collages consisting of more than 15 separate pictures I got from www.sxc.hu. Give your own opinion. See if you can feel the mood that I want to portray....

My Digital Art collection

I love digital art and I've been tinkering with it for as long as I can remember, but was not confident enough to showcase it. I took the courage now because I feel I'm ready to show the world my talent. As a start, I have four of my recent work here. I hope you like it. If you want a large hi-res poster of this, do email me>> pixel3graphic@gmail.com. Don't worry, it will be affordable.
