I will be using this visual as some sort of word of encouragement from now on. The Hulk is one of my favourite character as always. Looking forward to see how Mark going to explore him in the Avengers sequel... stay strong, always!!!

Beginning today, my blog will focus entirely on notes revolving on positivity, good deeds, artwork that inspires and occasionally random "toys" photos. so why positivity? I stopped reading the newspapers 10 years ago and even stopped watching TV. The daily news is just so bad - and i realized why people need to read on negativity first thing in the morning. Imagine, reading alot of death report while chewing your breakfast....oh man..... so Most of the time, i will go to the sports section and yes to the daily funnies. While on social media, viral videos, users from various organization will use the platform to create sensational rubbish just for the sake of getting more attention and likes. People somewhat thrive on negativity and wasteful things, never fail to share petty issues and finally got themselves unto the polemical debates and what not. So rather than being in this idiotic negativity wave - i choose to shut and bring myself out from this shit. My aunt s...

How to ensure your place doesn't look like a freaking Toy Shop. Built your own freaking cabinet, open all up and display it.

Its interesting to document my own process as i dont always snap photos. This time, i did. Here's another Breaking Bad related painting entitled " The Uncertainty Principle". I began with this realising that Walter on the left is somewhat disturbing to the whole composition, so i scrap it off.....turning to at first i loved this, but the next morning, i found it is kinda messy, so again i scrap it off and finally decide that too much Walter destroy whole work itself, so i rework it another time and i have this rather than filling up the whole frame with Walter......i paint it over the textures to give it a some-sort of homage of the main object of the series....the bluish meth.

Its harder for us to practice goodness today. Being good and inspiring others with our action is really a tough act. So coming 2015, im avoiding myself from all self absorbed idiots and do what im capable of. Its really easy for us to listen and ultimately imparting a word of advice - but we just need to give when it's asked. Deep down in my heart, i pray goodness, health and happiness to all. Lets us act on goodness shall we - rather than preaching..... be strong and stay strong!!

ho, ho and ho

Who doesnt dig the Batmobile man, Batman is the most practical, no-nonsense superhero all time. He uses his brains and have brawn equally. No superpower but he has loads of money and intelligence to invest where it should. Frank Miller did something unthinkable back when he released the Dark Knight Returns. He gave us a bad ass Batman ( think Clint Eastwood in a Batsuit ), he doesn't give any shit and get his job done. What is nicer is - he got a really huge Batmobile to match with his bad ass attitude..... heck - he even gave Supes a hard time. Its not a car - we have A freaking tank. I take this anytime than the Nolan's Tumbler. Mattel and Hotwheels didn't release this particular model until one publisher called Eaglemoss released this. The plastic is kinda flimsy, no movable parts, hell - they give you a nice casing for this. cool right!!!! yes, it comes in black as usual.

How could you say NO when your students presented you this? They took inspiration from the stained glasses and combined it with Gundam, it helps too when they are die-hard Gundam fans. Here you go - The hall of the fallen pilots. too awesome until i have to snap this pic

i laughed seeing every mum told their 5 year old kids - "no more toy cars" , reminded me when i was a kid and having my own mum stared at me whenever we stopped at the toy department. Hotwheels released an interesting cute model called Kool Kombi, a tooned/souped up version of the VW Camper Van. While in the midst of finding these Kombi, i saw another model called Fast Bed Hauler....again another awesome design. Bought both of them. Turned out to be that these models are hard to find as those pesky scalpers will buy loads of them and selling it at the secondary market. a bad ass classic grill kool right - flat bed tow truck....

Just finished assessing 84 students for my Art History subjects and another 40+ students for the SEA Culture studies. Its interesting as students required to work in groups and need to impress me with their ideas, presentation and how they going to execute their projects. They required to choose and remix any existing paintings from any era to something new. TOA actually recruited the best students from the country compared to other colleges and i might say local universities. Generally their attitude, aptitude, communication skills and levels is one step higher. So in 2014, im back lecturing in the college.  Im taking a break entirely from films and documentaries. Back to - favorite subject of mine - Art History. You see dealing with this kids, exposing them the world of the art history requires alot of tact and yes entertainment ( you need find ways to tell a story, let them understand why history repeats again and again ), not lecturing them or killing them with boring...
