//The Elephant Parade//

Painted my very own elephant at the Elephant Parade workshop at Tangs in support of the Asian elephant conservation. I was a half hour late due to traffic (SMRT's delay that morning and all that goes into that, is testament to the fact that our transportation is utterly unreliable, and that the inflated travel fare goes straight into our government's pocket and not into providing a more stringent safety measure i.e. a VERY THOROUGH technical check). That aside, with only one half hour to finish my elephant, I decided to paint polka dots, in colors I love - black, white, brown and baby blue. Why polka dots? Coz I don't see them painted on the elephants as yet :)



Painting the base.


Hard at work painting circles.

And if you are in Singapore, you can join the workshop at Tangs. It is a two hour workshop, and there will be a contest for the best painted elephant with great prizes up for grab. 
If you are keen and LOVE ELEPHANTS like I do, please sign up here folks.

//Infographics//

Recently, I created a number of infographics now that it is in high demand. Clients are veered to using infographics now as they are interesting, contain easy-to-digest information and adds value. This creates a positive connection in the eyes of the consumer, thus making him more likely to engage your brand, find your information very insightful or buy your product depending on the key objective of the infographic. A few may request for press releases in the form of an infographic, while a fraction may prefer informative posters in that format of which are equally interesting.
At the end of the day, we are just attracted to colours and shapes, aren't we? 


Check out my infographic via the press release below. 

//Bubble-nim//

A special request pops up to mess up a denim dress for a free-spirited, beautiful, good friend, Mardy, who is currently pursuing her dreams and hopefully kicking Nat Geo Music channel's boring ass with her travelogue of inspiring street music/art performers and friends in South America, heading south to cover forty cities in thirty counties over ten months, spending five to seven days in each city. She currently huddles with The Busking Project who has filmed over two dozen acts across the globe and I heard, are an amazing bunch. 

Please do visit their
website when you have the time or follow Mardy as she blogs excerpts of wanderlust and on the interesting folks she has crossed paths with on WheeWanderingMusings.

About the Bubble-nim dress - I used fabric paint and markers for the bubbles, and illustrate Ms Malika on the back, blowing bubbles of course :) There is a backview of a naked chick illustrated on the front but this one rocks better. I may have added more colours but figured I should just go simple and not let it be as chomot as I am. Didn't manage to take a picture of the dress at the end of my intensive work coz I forgot!


Thanks Mardy for the photos!
