The Chunky Mermaid: 3D

I am now a real-life chunky mermaid. Oh, how I am loving this newfound love of mine.

"Waw, an Arabic letter, is also used as conjunction 'and' in Arabic language. It is called the letter of love for it is the place of meeting between things; if it wasn't for Waw, things would not be able to come together. Hence, it is the letter of love in Islamic calligraphy." -Abdullah Khamis


This was a commissioned piece. I was really excited about it because I had just learnt about impasto and wanted to try it out. I'm happy with the result. As is the client. -SOLD

This was probably one of the largest piece of work I've ever been commissioned to do. It was gift for the client's friend who had just given birth to her son, Aryan Shah. I'm assuming it's a push present?

The new mother loves pink and blue, hence the choice of colours. Letters glow in the dark. -SOLD

Beauty is what you see

Reflect

Many have asked the story behind The Chunky Mermaid. Why do they have to be so fat? Why can't you draw perfectly shaped, beautiful mermaids? Why are they so naked? Why are they so pale? Why are their tits so big? 

Everyone has different ideas of what makes someone/thing beautiful. Some prefer thin, some prefer more flesh, some prefer dark, fair, etc? And the truth is, there is nothing wrong with whatever you perceive as beautiful, you're entitled to your own opinion. 

I draw what I draw because I feel like it. I can draw a chunky mermaid today and a waif-y mermaid tomorrow, it really doesn't matter. Some days you look at an art piece and you feel like it speaks to you, some days it won't. It really boils down to you, in the end. 

Look into the mirror (mosaic) and reflect upon yourself. -SOLD

When I first got my mermaid tail, I was so excited about trying it out in the pool. I tot it was going to be a breeze, because I was so comfortable with water. It wasn't. I struggled, and didn't make a very graceful mermaid at all. 

This is what I looked like, trying to swim like a mermaid, the first time. Sans seashell nip cover. - SOLD

Dreamy mermaid

This was a fun piece. I had recently purchased glow in the dark paints and I hadn't had the chance to play around with it. And I had never done a gingerhead mermaid before. So this was perfect.

The hair and tail glows in the dark. Did you know that when it starts to lose its 'glow', you can just 'charge' it under the sun or light for a few hours? Nipple covers are seashells from Pulau Tioman, off Johor. - SOLD
