Do Good : Pulp Fiction Cards

Image
Im left with only 30 sets of these cards. What is awesome is people been snapping it off. What i'm trying to do now is opening myself to wider audiences where people from US, Mexico, Australians and rest of the world able to get their hands on this too. It's based on Pulp Fiction - one of my all time favourite film. Each set contains 7 cards, high quality digital prints on 230gsm paper, the size of the card is half A4 and signed by yours truly. What happened this month is - i got 2 bad news, which one of my pal got breast and bone cancer and another one of my uni pal's mum diagnosed with leukaemia. The sales of the cards will be channel thru to fund their recovery. I know it's not much, but that is the least i can do. A set of this card is RM 100 only. It will be shipped flat. Here are the postage costs using the reliable, trustworthy national POSLAJU services. Australia RM75 ( 4 days ) Brunei RM 45  ( 4 days ) Canada RM RM70

Guru : Yoda

Image
Empire Strikes Back left me an indelible mark in my head. I believe in a puppet. Actually the puppet is real - its alive and act better than any Malaysian actors. The puppet, a grand old sage, a wise teacher - who taught countless jedis before he went to exile. Its kinda sad to see Yoda left heartbroken after seeing his Jedi Academy destroyed, his young lings killed and he has to run in Episode 3 : Revenge of the Sith. Soon, the guy who wiped off his legacy bore a kid and the kid look for him to be train as a complete Jedi. Before the silly Episode 1,2 and 3 - we have Episode 4,5 and 6. Empire is Episode 5, we are given a huge palate of new characters and Yoda is one of the most coolest character ever created. It's like Mr Miyagi high on something, but smaller and green. And he got the best lines. You must unlearn what you have learned. Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a pow

Buy A Bad to Do Good : Taxi Driver

Didnt aware that Bobby Deniro was featured mostly in my new work, man....he played so many memorable characters, Travis Bickle, the young Don Corleone and the awesome boxer Jack De La Motta in Raging Bull. He brought an unique signature in every role he plays. Here's the Taxi Driver series - one work on paper while the other one on canvas on paper on canvas

Buy A Bad To Do Good : Walter

Image
There will be a room or a space specifically for Walter White - for me Walter/Heisenberg is a bad ass character that grace television by far. This exhibition will hosts all variations of visuals of him i did on canvas. Most of it - i did it thematically, using few colors such as blue and yellow....to indicate his major transformations.... Here is The Cook Detail of The Cook, 2015, mixed media on canvas here are the blue ones - signifying the birth of Heisenberg. Actually i start working this December last year, before i was called and heavily involved in the flood missions. Only then around March this year, i able to put some actual heavy work on this.... The Blue 1 and Blue 2, mixed media on canvas, 2015 And of course this......few of my clients wanted to purchase it, but i told them, wait....the time is not ripe yet. i have told Zam ( my former uni coursemate ) who will manage this exhibition, audience will have Breaking Bad anthem played when they steps into

Buy A Bad To Do Good : Travis Bickle

Image
I first encountered Martin Scorcese work in my first year in uni. The movie lingered in my mind for weeks, it's bleak. I kept asking if Travis is alive in the end or he is dead? The movie is depressing, angry and bleak. Yea....that's the word...BLEAK. Travis decided he had enough and goes against all the SCUMS and blasted his way through. Is he a bad character or a good one? We cant pin point where he is heading, no clear cut answer - which to me, its beautiful. Just like Walter, just like Jack De La Motta, just like Jules - all of them in the end of the day, choose and take full responsibility of their actions which is DO. No procrastination, no sembang kedai kopi and no IF's......they simply DO. Bickle drops his .44 Magnum and guns Sport down with his snubnose, which Bickle kept in his right hand, while the .44 Magnum was in his left hand. Bickle begins to advance only to have the wounded bouncer attack him while going up the stairs.  Iris' client, a M

Happy Teacher's Day

these awesome dogs = awesome teachers

Go Fuck Yourselves and Be Happy.

Image
Took me 36 years to realize in the end of the day, we cant live to other's expectations, demands, KPI, evaluations and what not.  "education" "career" "material accumulations" - the interior materials we own cant reflect what we have Inside. What's inside and what our heart always say opposite things. Constant battle of MIND and HEART.  I forgot to ask what i really want and what made me happy. Lots of people are unhappy and tend to expect others for their HAPPINESS.  They forgot to appreciate the things they have, people beside them. Oh man..... In the end of the day, all the things and answers are deep within ourselves.  If i dont like it, i'll do it my own way.  Rather than being in the crowd, i chose not to BE, stop running and stop letting other shape me.  and i have arrived. Normally it takes a so called "mentally insane" person to remind us that we are "insane"   here's a

Ezekiel 25:17 The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee... Royale with cheese, pencil on paper, 2015

Do Good Phase 2 - H3R0 returns

Image
It's been a year, i took a complete break dealing with any activities related to film, i realized i need to do a closure chapter for H3R0. Entitled H3R0: Epilogue, it will be screened and go for a tour in selective outdoor venues. I love wide open spaces plus i want audiences who will attend this will be "awed". Spectacle. Myself and Hasnul discussed about this when we finished a session of Ziarah Kembali H3R0 : where he did a public talk in Penang, performed 2 awesome songs entitled Demi Masa and Setiap Sekarang. So i figure out that i need to do another chapter to sum this up. Both myself and Hasnul ( the writer ) experienced so much turmoil and dramatic consequences after completing H3R0. SO MUCH. But this experience left us, shaped us to be where we are now - today. So this piece is like a revisiting familiar ground and putting some cheery notes in it. In the end of the day, all things happened is for good reasons. And it's all GOOD.

Do Good Notes : Bean

my bro bought a new apartment, rather than buying those pesky annoying supermarket canvas from China, he asked me to something awesome. So i asked him, what he want? He replied "Bean". So i did this. And it never FAIL to make my mum laugh all the time when she sees this. Whistler's Mother after Bean, 2013, oil on canvas

Do Good Notes : Pulp Fiction and Awesome Stuffs

Image
What is awesome about this Do Good Project: Pulp Fiction, is meeting up and talk with the guys who purchased the cards. Most the ones who bought it either resigning from their boring jobs, starting something new on their own, most of them loves it, scrutinizing those lines, holding the cards and loved it. the whole cards in a single frame. So here's by Lee Heng Kok - one awesome guy who digs comic book ( like me ). What makes this encounter awesome is i purchased one of his DIY Comic Book too. In the cover, he drew this. awesome right?

But A Bad to Do Good : Ezekiel

Image
Quentin really know how to write. I mean he is one bad ass writer, hip. His characters is real, not pretentious, all the dialogue is peppered with awesome comebacks. One of the main characters i focused in this coming exhibition Buy A Bad To Do Good is Jules Winnifeld. Here's a few examples Normally, both your asses would be dead as fucking fried chicken, but you happen to pull this shit while I'm in a transitional period so I don't wanna kill you, I wanna help you. But I can't give you this case, it don't belong to me. Besides, I've already been through too much shit this morning over this case to hand it over to your dumb ass.   Nobody's gonna hurt anybody. We're gonna be like three little Fonzies here. And what's Fonzie like? Come on Yolanda what's Fonzie like? An Afro hitman - honest and ultimately left his job after he encountered a divine intervention, where someone who shot him and Vincent point blank - but all the bullets

Buy A Bad to Do Good : Walter/Heisenberg

Image
For me, you can find money. Alof of people thought their money can buy everything, everyone. That is wrong and most of the time, i have so many awesome encounters reminding people this.For me i'm not selling this piece. It's a personal piece. Walter thought he has money and thought he could buy his way out, but he cant. This is one of those early pieces i made to help myself while waiting for Season 4 and 5. Done periodically, this piece is revised all the time. Same also with the Baby Blue series. And yes, it will be exhibited in Buy A Bad To Do Good. Why Breaking Bad? Its like paying a respect to a series that pay respect to the fans. By not overdoing it. Thanks Vince Gilligan. Bad, from late 2013 - revised in early 2014  

Buy A Bad to Do Good : Gus

Image
Note : its obvious i dig Gus, who through the years, keeping himself below the radar, managing his meth empire before hiring chaos in the form of Walter White. Also known as the KFC man, i totally understand Gus's approach, grounded, methodical and always in the background. His origin episode, where he executed his revenge to all the Mexican drug lord is a masterpiece, similar as how Michael Corleone commands all the execution of the head of his family rival while attending a baptism ceremony. Purely symbolic. oh yes, it will be featured in Buy A Bad to Do Good exhibition. Pencil on paper, 2015.
