The Girl with Balloons Necklace and a Crown.

-

Drawing is not only a hobby for me but also one of the coping way I choose to feel relieved and calm. It’s a media to express something unspokeable inside my mind. One day I want to draw something different and surreal. After I drew a beautiful beach girl, I came with the idea to draw her, the girl with balloons necklace and a crown.

          She actually represented me, how I felt. I feel under pressured and got lot of thoughts. I got war inside my head and problem with this and that. There is something that is not cured yet. In this drawing, she has a crown which means she actually has power to reach her dreams. She got knowledge and will to learn more. The heart means that she cares about the people around her, the unlucky people who suffered from poverty and also animal and nature that struggle to stay alive side by side with the “growing” world. She actually has love inside her. But her lips are petrified. She can’t speak a lot because of the problem balloons that choked her. Unfortunately she was once defeated by a challenge in her life. One challenge leads to problems in her life. But she’s struggling to get back on track and cured. That’s why I symbolize the problems with balloons. They might choke her with their thin threads (it does hurt) but the situation won’t stay like that forever. One day the balloons will explode or run out of air inside and the threads will be loosen. She can easily breath again. She can go back to the world again.

            Why do I post this? Because eventhough I’m afraid with this picture (which actually kind of funny because I drew it based on my own imagination), I like it. And I like the reason why I draw this. So, it doesn’t feel like another creepy picture but a picture with a meaning and hope inside.

Practical Stationaries To Make Life A Bit More Simple

-

Since I was an elementary school student, I already had this interest in stationaries. I have collected quite some stationaries since then. But tbh I don’t collect specific unique or cute stationery that much, it was more like collecting some for enough supply. When I was in school my classmates and friends liked to call me “walking stationary'' or "walking gramedia (a big chain of bookstore in Indonesia)” because I almost had everything ready and brought a big stationery pouch, hahaha.. But after my stationary journey all this year (as if I’ve been a professional stationary reviewer hahaha) I bring less stationary and keep all my colored pens at home. Because sinceI work at the office I feel that bringing a big pouch of stationary is no longer convenient since I don’t handwrite as much as I did before. Generally we type on the computer more at the office, right? Those times when we made colorful and aesthetique notes at school and college were almost forgotten, hahaha.. I...

What a Guilty Pleasure, Stickers! (Sticker Sheet Edition: Part 1)

As an art enthusiast with a limited budget, stickers have been one of the closest ways to get artists' artwork, hahaha.. That's why I've been "hoarding" quite a lot of stickers from various artists. Also aren't stickers convenient? You can use it to decorate your stuff and bring those artists' aesthetique with you anywhere anytime. Isn't it cool? Hahaha.. It makes you happy while at the same time appreciating the artists' works. I also think that compared to another form of artwork, stickers are a form of artwork that are closer to everyone because of its practicality and affordable price. Many people love stickers, nowadays we can find stickers on laptop cases, phone cases, tumblr bottles, journals, etc. Even personally because I like it so much, I sometimes end up not using them because I’m afraid it will tear or fade. I have to look carefully at the materials of the sticker paper. Without further ado and I start to “mumble” writing, hahaha.. I w...
