MOTU : Grayskull

Q - Andy, what you been up to lately?
A - alot of stuffs man....
Q- such as?

Its funny, after all these years, with lego bricks i built Castle Grayskull - one of those pesky playset that eluded me when i was a kid. He-Man : Master of the Universe is a lovable cartoon where we have moral take-away in every episode, but what is memorable is the villains - name Skeletor....he is hilarious.


then we have Prince Adam ( who wears Pink!! ) have cowardly pet tiger who turns to Battle Cat. I dont know what they are smoking in Mattel but hey - it works and manage to sell millions of toys. We grew up weekly with Orko, Man-EFaces, Evil-Lyn and the rest.

Watch the documentary produced by Netflix is brilliant entitled

The original playset is not proportionate, back those days, who cares as we are kids...we play with them, not keeping them MISB. ( Mint in Box )

here look below.


so thanks to google, time and liberty of finding the right design, look...to scratch build one.


spray painted them....

and voila......


and what is sweet, the resourceful, pesky China replicate someone's custom figures - made it to reality....and yes adding layers to my Castle Grayskull.


what is lovely - i can display it beside my Cat's Lair....yeehaaaa.....


so, these is one of those "many" projects im unto, as i need to finish up an writing and designing a national level exhibition soon in May.

Balai Seni Negara's Treasures

after weeks of lecturing and exposing my students to various masterpieces of the Western paintings, sculptures and other notable artefacts, it's time for me to introduce them our nation's wealth and masterpieces which i deem noteworthy. Q : how i evaluate a work of art to be noteworthy? A : it must stand through the test of time, requires full attention and forget all the pretentious glorified curatorial writings. The image produced must show evidence of thoughts, thoughtful strokes and skills - in terms of composition, mastery of the colors and must be one that control the gallery space. ( to be honest, i cant appreciate digital paintings as it is missing the most vital elements - that is texture and the evident of the strokes. ) example - Michaelangelo's Pieta and Monet's Waterlilies. What is brilliant is, i brought them to National Visual Arts Gallery, where they got a chance to meet up my old dean/sifu/friend/mentor/adopted guardian angel/humanist - Naji

The Final Lesson by Syed Ahmad Jamal

Intro This is will be a long note - edited again thoroughly. Before i begin, this writing will touch on an individual goes by the name of  Syed Ahmad Jamal ( our National Laureate ) who passed away on 2011 and DBKL - stands for Kuala Lumpur Municipal Council. My heart dropped when Syed Ahmad Jamal public sculpture entitled Puncak Purnama ( Lunar Peaks, 1986 ) was destroyed by the local KL municipal council DBKL few days back. DBKL stands for Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur - actually is quite notorious for a list of bad PR moves by cutting off trees, blocking the Pertiwi Soup Kitchen ( which been feeding the homeless ), their zealous traffic summons - but seriously they broke the camel's back by destroying the modernist, geometrical - clean cut sculpture. The Battle of Non Permission This sculpture was highlighted in  2010 as "someone" decided to pimp it up, changing it's appearance without Syed Ahmad Jamal's permission.This is how it looks like......

Woke Shit

  Woke (/ˈwoʊk/ WOHK) is a term, originating in the United States, that originally referred to awareness about racial prejudice and discrimination. It subsequently came to encompass an awareness of other issues of social inequality, for instance regarding gender and sexual orientation. honestly speaking - i dont give a crap if you are les or gay , an android or whatever you want to call yourself. unfortunately this woke culture literally stamped their ugly feet in everything - creeping unto the endless vault of pop cultures, rebooting it mindlessly just to milk more cash. Capitalism will hunt endless potential and proceeded at full speed and might in owning it. its interesting to observe that capitalism hide behind in every cultural movement. Just like ESG and Equality, it turned into a battle cry to every social activist reformer. Feminists forgot that we grew up with a steely determination of Sarah Connor and Ripley ( who happened to be written by a man ) - which carry heavier b
