March for the Coronation and New History Begins Here

THE POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE – Hear the fanfares, marching feet and cavalries? The coronation begins! This is the rebirth of the old blog for my artworks and journal, which is now in damnation of sorrowful daily writes. Hence, it’s better off left cloistered in its own catacomb away from public. And henceforth, a new blog created to serve the original purpose as a personal art repository. I am a tragedian artist, this will be the final resting ground for my arts and other work of expressions. Depression begets inspirations and tragedy becomes art. Memento mori, the day when I must close, all dreams shall be burnt, reduced to dying embers and swept away by obliteration. End!

LIFE: The Art Cemetery

THIS is a cemetery for my artworks. For life is quiet now and the days vying to be the best, the dreams of vanity is over. All for the survival in this industry when most often, it’s not what you can do but who you are. And it seems the creative industry’s war machine has gone deranged or broken down to it’s own conceited defeat, in the brutal game of love. That is me. And this is how an inexhaustible fighting machine can be stopped and destroyed. The heart from a chink in the armour.

UPDATE: The End for Now

GOOD times never last. Instead of wallowing myself to destruction, the forced medical leave was unexpectedly eventful but has ended. The time to focus on career has come with the call to standby for massive projects likely to protract for months. Therefore my artistic interests will cease at this point. Contents especially new paintings in this blog will be less frequent but it’s not the end.

ARTWORK: Aces in the Pacific

Aviation Art. Done with Corel Painter 11, the Curtiss P40 WarHawk aircraft for the United States Air Force. This time, the air battles brought to the pacific where once long ago ever in our history the aces soared those skies with great courage. Throughout the painting, there was a pang of grief for the young men of that time who’d given their life in the cause of war. The men from both sides.

ARTWORK: Operation Millennium

Aviation Art. With Corel Painter 11 and this is the second artwork on Avro Lancaster heavy bombers.

LIFE: Thunderstorm

HOURS lingered past, hours after wearied hours of this night, somnolent yet maddening the life’s disgruntlements is muttering in the mind. From the conspicuous far was the thin golden glare of sun and brightness anon, as it seems another day after blithesome days for the jolly two. Whilst the desolated me have to find darksome shades to hide in shame of defeat. And came the rain, finally.

ARTWORK: Prokofiev (Romeo and Juliet)

Romeo and Juliet again, this is the second artwork which is for the ending of Shakespeare’s Act III. This is Sergei Prokofiev’s No.51 and 52 (Death of Juliet).

LIFE: The Forest

This is a cold morning and I believe the rain fell last night when I was deep in slumber. The sky is misty, the world outside is gloomy and how am I delighted. It is great getting up in the small hours before dawn, when the happy world is fast asleep. Done with their ostentatious joy now left behind the emptiness, out of my sight and have all for myself the pleasurable quietude. I pen my thoughts.

ARTWORK: Operation Heaven One

This is Navat Art. The strange thing about some of my paintings is the strong emotional strain that made them better, in this case my depression as it gets worst. If depression can’t be stopped, let it bring the fullest effect like crashing a car that is out of control against the wall. This is the painting of Yamato, the Japanese battleship that I failed miserably in the past and gave up. Now, revisiting the ghost of the past, confronted and freed. Otherwise, it’ll be screaming in me forever. The battle of Yamato completed. It is a success but can be done even better but due to my health now.

THE DIARY

This “diary” post is but a container or a directory for the sub-topics in life to write about. There are absolutely no pictures and face it, nobody wants to know your life or whatever happened to your dog. So, it’s very safe in a way.

ARTWORK: Photorealism

Photorealistic paintings of motorcycles with the real acrylic paints and water. I dug out the old portfolio case. This old thing have been a loyal keeper of my priceless artwork for more than ten years now. As I flipped through memory lane, to the days when I strove hard, was never the best but at least a good illustrator or visualiser. And I became mad and painted these in 1995.

THE SHOWCASE

This “showcase” posting is only a parent directory for the postings of artwork categorised in their respective order. This is the museum for all artwork. There will be many different styles and array of expressions in this section of the blog. Some of these artwork requires explanatory and write ups, it will be horrendous to be greeted with all the pictures fighting to load and a wall of text in the first page.

THE GENTLEMAN FROM HELL

The interface and behaviour of this blog mimics the author's personality. Insipid by appearance with hidden sullenness. Buried deep in their own respective entry posts like corpses in coffins, the arts are all dead. Memories and secrets heretofore in artistic ululations.
