Clef Magazine

Just thought it was pretty cool that a photo I took of I am David Sparkle was featured in the current issue of Clef Magazine cos it hasn't happened in awhile. Well, mostly cos I don't shoot that much often now.

Underneath your shadow, I find my refuge.

I was commissioned to do an A3 piece with custom text which was a line from a song by an old local band, Surreal and also derived from a psalm in the bible.

That's that.

The t-shirts came out better than I expected. We sold quite abit that night and we have a few left, so incase you might be interested, just leave a comment or something.

I had been looking forward to the show for weeks and even more so after we had our last practice cos I nailed the song pitches after weeks of trying. It was unfortunate though that the night before the show, I had to fall sick. A friend of mine said I probably worried myself into sickness. But I think it had to do more so that I was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Cos a few other friends of mine caught the flu bug at the same time. Anyway, as the night wore on, so did my health and by the time our set came; which was probably 11pm by then (and we had been there since 12:30pm), I was really tired. I tried to pull it off but by mid-set, I felt the strain and was almost breathless but I pushed on. Our set was made memorable by the fact that our old guitarist jumped on stage at our last song, and sang his parts much to the audiences delight. I was touched. Anyway, that was it for our one off show.
On another note, I got home with some goodies.

-The Marilyns tee - designed by Djohan Johari
-Plain Sunset tee - Im assuming that it was done by The Killer Gerbil.
- and a ton of cds!!

One more for the road.

Created a new Marchtwelve design for tshirts that will be for sale during the show this weekend. They had asked us for our old designs but those were made ten years ago and I no longer had the files. They will come in extra small to extra large. Not sure of the pricing yet though. But if you want one, let me know.

Details for the show is as follows.

Wake Me Up Music, Singapore's premium indie record label, is taking a long long nap after more than a decade of contribution to the Singaporean music scene.

Before we take that nap, let's bring back the old times and have one hell of a party!

The two-day show will feature current and past Wake Me Up Music bands and also other bands who have been such great friends to us.

This will probably be the LAST TIME you'll see bands like Surreal, Sky in Euphoria, Vertical Rush, Marchtwelve, My Squared Circle and Pension State come together for a show like this.

So do come down and party with us for one last time.

Pint sized fighter

I stayed home one weekend and forced myself to draw. And then an idea for a birthday gift came to me. From paper to adobe illustrator to tank top. Happy birthday Huda!
