See,speak, hear no evil

I love beaches. I will literally drop anything for an island/beach getaway. There's so much beauty to be found on the beach alone. Sand, dead corals, seashells and if you're lucky, sea glass! 

A few months ago, I went to Pulau Tenggol, off the coast of Terengganu. While the others went diving, I trawled the beach for sea glass. And I was lucky for there were plenty!

I have a lot of affection for this series. I depleted my entire collection of sea glass on these pieces. And I'm happy that they're going to a good friend. -SOLD

Transgender Mermaid

Tranny Mermaid

I started working on this during a short holiday to Sabah. Working on art during a holiday is the worst idea, ever. Most of my luggage space was consumed with art supplies and canvas, that I didn't have much space left for clothes. 

The idea came from binge-watching Orange is the new Black. I'm drawn to Sophia's character. The correctional facility had cut down her hormone dosage and she feared losing what she had worked so hard for. Hence the sagging skin and breasts that translated into this piece. 

Tail scales made with plastic spoons and the breast cover, with coffee stirrers.

This was done as a gift for a colleague that I love like a sister (from another mother).

She has so many great qualities about herself, I see her like an undiscovered star. She has the potential to shine so bright and blind everyone in her path. I only wish greatness for her. She deserves no less.

Also, I was excited about trying out the new glow-in-the-dark paint that I'd just bought. I charged it overnight and it really did glow in the dark. Super chuffed that she appreciated it.

I painted this for a dear friend who just celebrated her birthday. She is quite a number of years more senior than me, but she is so young at heart and so full of life. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that we aren't in the same age bracket.

I'm not saying she is old. I'm just saying she is old(er) than me. Don't kill me, ن . I love you ;)

RARA

RARA

A friend wanted me to paint something with her daughter's name on it. She goes by her nickname, Rara. 

Like me, she too enjoys the water and is fascinated by mermaids. I recently bought my own tail and I'm obsessed with it. 

My tail sans monofin

Seriously. -SOLD

Mati itu pasti

Mati itu pasti

My uncle wanted me to make him this piece. With that exact caption. He wanted it as a reminder of death. It is the most morbid piece I've ever had to come up with. He also wanted me to paint a tombstone in the middle. I wasn't happy about that. 

But he was. -SOLD

A friend commissioned me to do this for her. 

I chose different types of flowers for each alphabet.

د for Dahlias 
ي  for Ylang ylang
ل  for Lillies 
ا   for Asters

She's pretty pleased. -SOLD
