Pick Me Up: Graphics Arts Festival | 2011



We arrived in London on 17th March. Firstly we went in Somerset House and founded Pick Me Up entrance. I was very interested when I saw coloured arrows on the walls and giant arrows mobile hanging from the ceiling. Then I saw the colourful in Graphics gallery that were very eye-catching.

The first displays that interested me was Jules Juliens’ works, I like all of his displays because it’s like very feminine to me and looks interesting.


 
 











Then ‘Zara Wood aka Woody’ displays, its also very feminine and very simple drawing.


 
 


 To Jessica Hische’s display, its very feminine I like the way flowers flow and its link to the letters. The colours are complementary.






Clara Terne’s display is vague and abstract. The title is The Intangible. Its looks like she draw with music.



Qwenola Carrere’s displays are quite bold with primary colours and it’s like a children’s imagination.
















Takeru Toyokura’s display is very strange and interesting. Its looks like the children floating up in the green thing.




Annelie Carlstrom’s display is like for fashion design, very achromatic, look like she used the mix media technique.



Sarah Arnett’s displays are very abstracts, Africa style (even she growing up in Africa as a child) and Botanical garden style.





 Paul Blow’s display is very simple and amusing, the colours are in soft primary pastel colours.





Kate Moross’s displays are very soft, additive colourful and Doodle a-like.






The MVM ‘s displays are very dark abstract, distinctive and large than life.

 


James Graham’s display is very simple and only one colour.



Revenge is Sweet’s displays are random, retro and very interesting, I like the “Love Me Or Die” because its had mirror that made me impressed.

 





Can't remember who did this graphic art work.

 After exit from the Pick Me Up gallery, went in Somerset House, there was a lot of different displays of the graph papers. I was very interesting all of these displays.

 I was enjoying this trip so far.

The Monarch | Illustration

The Milkweed butterfly, also in another name of the Monarch butterfly, inspired me when I watched BBC's Spy in the Wild Series 2 in February. In episode 2 "The North", in this scene located the mountain in West Mexico, with the Spy Hummingbird capturing the place that's considered the world's most beautiful natural gathering, where the Monarch butterflies hibernated during the winter. It was Spring, the Spy hummingbird flying around millions of butterflies resting on the oyamel fir trees (I just looked it up of what kind of tree because I can't remember what it was, hehe). When the sunshine on them, warmed their delicate wings, then started to fly. And when they fly, it was absolutely spectacular, all orange and flow through the trees. I imagined myself in there, underneath them and watching them as they migrate to North. I felt calm and delight thinking about it, it was awe-inspiring. Being called the Milkweed butterfly is because they feed on ...

Bloom Wildly | Illustration

It's nearly the end of May, the weather for the last week of the month has been sun shining and over 22c of temperature, such lovely weather. So yesterday, I have been painting the dog rose flowers, that just blossomed nearly 2 weeks ago! Right now they're blooming quite wildly in my home garden and the front! This bush even grows over the tree, makes it so enchanting it's like in a magical summer garden. And with the wall, this can hang further that I can go underneath it for some shade. This one is new from the front as it hasn't grown there before, so it's the first time seeing this. And it's already climbing up the birch tree! It looks nice to look at through the window, where I work on some arts, plus good for some inspirations to illustrate! Whilst I was painting, I did another timelapse video on this. Seems I find the time-lapse illustrating very fascinating and satisfying, you can see the process in fast speed, rather than the normal speed that'll t...
