Day 2: Let the day sink in.


How do you blog as a 30dayartist?

When your day starts, as the exact moment
hits 12:00am sharp, live the day.
feel the every moment as an artist.

look into the mirror, and convince yourself,
that you are an artist.

you are the soldier. the poet. the philosopher.the missionary.
the One that the force have nominated.

the fortunate one(or the unfortunate one)
to live through life and manifest the
ugly and beautiful, the painful and the joyous,
of life.

but don't live too long, and forgetting your task
of completing the 40 pieces.

plan your daily schedule. how much time for you
to live life. and how much time for you to
'express' of the life.

if you think about it,
40 pieces is not even enough to express
all the theories you have of life.

and the final hours of the day,
you should allocate time for blogging.
the conclusion of combining your work
and the experience you just had of the day.

now, go repeat this routine for 30 days.

:)

Reading Blue Pills by Frederick Peeters

2 years ago, when i was in browsing through a cool comic store in Brussels, i found this book.

just by looking at the brush strokes, it gave me an itch to hold a brush immediately.

but too bad it was in french.
i couldn't buy it.

was tempted too, the drawings was
good enough for me to succumb to it.

but no, i just flipped through the pages and
hoping to have a photographic memory
of the strokes.
(i always do this when i was a kid in bookstores,
when i couldn't afford to buy anything)

the framing and panels affected my style
executed on I See So Many Butterflies.

a year later, i found this book in my local bookstore,
translated!

i bought it so fast from the bookstore,
as though i just stole it and ran.

of course, like all good stuff,
i like to anticipate and wait to read it.

now, finally. after 2 years, i'm gonna read it now.

why?

because i'm so scared to ink the first 2 pages that i just
finished penciling yesterday.

and i need that itch again.

Day 1: The first day is always the hardest.




not anymore.

i'm back. for the fifth time.

gawd. this feel so strange to blog again.

with a smile on my face.

what's this month about?

it's gonna be crazy.

so many things to do.

so little time.

i'm glad to be back.

as you can see, www.30dayartist.com has gone through
some add-ons.

the sexy Ustream.tv is a God given technology.
amazing. now, audience can witness what the
30dayartist actually is doing.

(like now.)

as i was saying, this month is gonna be crazy-pack for me.

i could have choose not to do it this year,
but i just miss the brush and ink too much.
i miss illustrating the beardy guy.
i'm excited to know what's gonna happen to him.

as usual, i won't plan what to illustrate or
how the progress-structure of the story.
i'll let the story create itself.
30dayartist style.

this month, is gonna be exciting.
so much have happen in my artist life this year.

have i mentioned this month is gonna be tight?

oh-yeah, my schedule:



i'll heading to Singapore this 13th till 16th
for a toys & comics con. http://www.singaporetgcc.com/

will sharing a booth with i-ming to sell comics.

and on the 22nd till 31st i've got shoot for the
children show i'm directing.

and we usually shoot the entire day.

so you can imagine.

how am i gonna survive this?

balancing so many things and illustrating
'I See So Many Butterflies'?

as usual, 30dayartist spirit is always
about stretching the bar. maximizing
yourself.

i've survived 40 painting for 2 rounds.
completed a 328 page garphic novel in 2 rounds.

what can't i do?

you'll be surprise what i have in mind
to tackle after i'm done with I See So Many Butterflies.

but that's for 2011.

so to compensate, if i do not post for the days i'm
away. i'll keep you guys updated of my daily life.

yes, this make much more sense now with
'taking a peek into an artist life for 30 days.'

i'll give you guys as detail of my daily routine
as possible.

aren't you interested to know what a tv director
cum artist do everyday?

i'll feed you as much of my personal life as possible.

how?

twitter of course.

now, can you say 'follow me'?

FOLLOW ME.

and not forgetting ustream.

30dayartist Live TV

yep, i can stream through my mobile phone
while i shoot. while i sell my comics at singapore.

the power of technology.

and now further, not wasting anymore time.

this year's anniversary video:




now, to the drawing board.

(as usual, ignore my bad grammar and spelling.)

till tomorrow.

THE SMALL BIRCH FOREST IN A TOWN







One day, I saw this forest, simple forest, like inside of my own comic, like a dream

this forest appears in front of me.

the pictures are originals, and the only work inside is the color, no effects, no collages...


Hello every body!!!!
I know, I can be so quiet, silent, and sometimes is difucult to talk about me...

I m very happy to stay in 30daysartist, I want to talk about my work inside, now


I was thinking in make a 40 works with my paintings or images, that no body knows, and use them whit my "poetry"


I dont have many time ... ussually Im painting, a mother, a musician, and a worker too...


so with all my personalities


I want to try to work for 30daysartis

but first I want to talk more about my activities and creations


I was working in the organization of a festival in Sevilla, last month





"Ladyfest sur 9"


is a feminist festival, (+we want men too...:-)

the festival was so cool!!! full of people

and the most nice thing was the mix of people working together in auto management

at the moment, then the festival, we know more about this, and about management, about love, about women, about art...

and for the next festival ...we have support of very interesting people, thats so good!!!

I want to pass the link of the festival




and I was with my special project (we made some activities in common and one alone) this project for me was an exhibition "Woman attack of 150 cmt or more...."

every big paintings children of the women attacks!!! :-) with dance event of "la Vike" and music



I showed my picture "touching or giving fire" is a big painting (130 x 160 cmts)with mix technical ...in this exhibition



(on the top of the blog)



with the girl, touching fire (IN THE TOP TOP)
and I made another intervention, I was playing with a band made for the event "ladyfestsur big band!!"....

She is the girl with the light
the small girl with the infinity light

with the real light of life and energy

She puts the love inside of us
(sometimes we can forget it
our small child and light)

I am sorry.

I'm sorry to interrupt Eva's run for this short
announcement.

On June 6th 2009, www.30dayartist.com got hacked
by a group claiming to be called The Malay Power Team.

They posted a very offensive message to the Indonesians.

And this image: http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/5849/kl1.gif

If anyone has ever heard of them; KL Troopers.
Do let us know.

We are trying our very best to recover the old
files and post that has been deleted by them.

Our server apparently has done some backup.
But the last backup date was 23rd May 2009.

That means Rebecca Finch's last 7 days and
Eva's first few post are gone. No ways of recovering
them back.

Their efforts and comments from the readers
are gone.

I don't understand why anyone would want to
destroy our blog. Destroying the artist dream.

Artist don't harm anyone.

We are a non-profit organization.

We only support and encourage people to
rediscover themselves by pursuing art.

I'm really-really sadden by this and feeling
very sorry for Becky and Eva.

Especially to Becky who has put in alot
of good effort during her run.

Her last post really inspired me.

And now they are gone.

I only can pray that she doesn't
feel too sad for too long, and that
the person who is responsible for
destroying this site have a little
sense of guilt of their actions;

destroying artist's effort.

why spread hate and anger
when you can spread love
to make a difference to the world?

With this,

I sincerely with my head down, apologize
to Becky again.

I wish I've done a better job of protecting
your efforts and works.

I'm really truly sorry.

always,

Chin Yew.

30dayartist Co-creator.

beats and colors

I like Jack Kerouac , and all the books from him.
I like beat generation ...
