Interlude by Morrissey and Siouxsie

“What seems like an interlude now, could be the beginning of love.
Loving you in a world that’s strange, so much more than my heart can hold.
Loving you make the whole world change, loving you I could not grow old.
No, nobody knows, when love will end. So till then, sweet friend.”

(If I ever get married, this song has strong potential to be my wedding song. If.)
Good night folks.

I know Indonesia contains a lot of young talents, but seeing this Jakarta-based illustrator’s work really really made me proud. I first know Mayumi Haryoto through her Multiply (already deleted now), apparently she’s a friend of my friend, I met her randomly several times but I never got the chance to sit and talk with her. Her illustrations are cynical yet soft, well-crafted by not putting too much detail but exquisite. Her color choices are so faraway from our well-known standard RGB and CMYK, which make it a bliss.

These are her works for JEUNE Magazine, a collaboration with Christina Phan, a talented photographer friend of mine.

More to see on her Behance Network profile.

My latest work for Sharp’s new product: Aquos. CHECK IT OUT, IT’S ON AIR NOW.

Take a look a Olympus’s newest design for the Micro 4/3 lineup of digital cameras. Practically a ghost, it begs for a hackneyed Star Wars-ism about elegant tools from a more civilized age. With a DSLR-sized sensor, quality should be assured, though it’s hard to imagine plunking big black plastic lenses onto this stylish m3/4’s interchangeable-lens mount system.

Mommy, I want this for christmas.

The gig poster scene isn’t exactly the best kept secret among music fiends like myself. It is a tradition that started in the 60’s and is still going strong.
Nowadays, the majority of indie bands have a growing collection of poster art that is just too incredible to simply throw away once the show has ended. Not surprisingly, this has led to the gig poster being something of a collectors item for music fanatics everywhere.
The following are 50 hand picked gig posters whose creativity and imagination blew me away.
