A Study of Kois

I've been thinking about tattoos lately.
This afternoon, I decided to design one for myself should I have the guts to get one. Haha.

This on my nape.

Maybe. When I'm ready.

I wanted to make an artwork out of the line drawing of the kois but I can't quite finish it:

Midnight Swim

It's been ages since I posted an artwork of mine here. So, here you go.

This is inspired by the song Midnight Swim of Incubus. What do you think?

SLATE 2013 PLANNER CALL for CONTRIBUTIONS ★

The Slate 2012 Planner featured several works of art from people all over. To be the channel that shared excellent word to the world was such an exhilarating honor!
The Slate Team was so impressed by the entries, so for our Slate 2013 Planner, I would personally like to invite you to be part of this continuous sharing of creative passions.
If you're interested to have your works featured, whether they are literary or visual, send the over! There's no limit. If you're 5, reading this and have a sketchbook full of quality works, please send them over, and we'd love to share them with everyone!

All the best and thanks!

News and Current Affairs

It's sad that I rarely get to update this site. 

And the flat title of this entry is hinting that there is little inspiration around me. Haha. I use to frown upon on people who claim they are uninspired and therefore cannot function well. This is a tough pill to swallow. I am being frowned upon by myself!

After Google+ came and in confusion deleted the whole shitload of photos I have in this blog, I admit that I have lost the drive to write as much here. I'm finding myself wishing that I'll find time and try write more. I saw a print out inserted in my planner and it says, "Just do it anyway" and that is what I'm doing now.

Anyhoo, on a happier note, I am just over the moon to announce that Slate is doing pretty well. We are now available in select Bratpack stores and who knows in the near future, we might be coming out with other products other than planners. Well, that was the goal so I'm hoping it all pushes through. I am stoked for growth but I honestly feel a bit pressured. Growing Slate means I have to put in more time and effort and give everything else in me that's left after work. Madness.

Our trip to HCM/Cambodia could not have come in the best time. I need a break so bad.
Sana this trip is the inspiration that I have been looking for. Please. Be. It.

All the best,

SFM

MAKE YOURSELF

If I hadn't made me, I would've been made somehow.
If I hadn't assembled myself, I would've fallen apart by now.
If I hadn't made me, I'd be more inclined to bow
Powers that be would have swallowed me up but that's more than I can allow.

If you let them take you, they'll make you paper-mache
At a distance you're strong, until the winds comes
Then you'll crumble and blow away.

You should make amends with you, if only for better health
But if you really want to live, why not try, and make yourself?

I hear you, Brandon Boyd. I hear you.

It’s just hard for to make a decision right now.
Let me breathe for a second here.
