thought of a new name for my line of designs.

DirtyLaundry

maybe can even have DtyLdy in short. just like the local street brand SBTG, meaning sabotaged. but looked more like shortform of DirtyLady. wahahaha. whatever lah. i'll be able to come up with something.

came up with the full designs for my blogskin. how exciting.
but i've got problem.
i do not know how to set blogskin.
wahahaha. alright i need expertise here.

what you are about to view might be personnally degrading and revolting to some.



made gQ a b*tch card for his 21st birthday. hope he didnt find it offensice though. haha. originally wanted it to be a tag instead of a card but cant find any material that are small, plastic-y enough to look like a tag. even sprayed the metal keychain white just to match the card. but seems like it's kind of large to be hung. if not it'll be a head-turning accessory for the bag or something. or maybe just like visa mini! hahaha.

wear this tee to match the tag! or vice versa. hahaha. now i have a collection. the b*tch line i call. hahaha.
disclaimer: the word is not meant to be a bad word. instead it's created in such a way it gives funk and attitude to the wearer. scream: bring out that f***ing b*tch (*roll eyes*) in you! guys, gals alike. (JW actually told me it lacks the attitude. what'd you think?)
in fact had in mind of having other self-degrading words to be slapped at the front of the tee. words like sl*t, whore, loser, flirt, blah. and maybe some catch phrase. but that's not really the style i'm going after. i'll leave puns and catchy phrases to NUM. hahaha. but definitely more b*tches to come for those who enjoy this.
p/s: in case anyone who is severely upset over the distasteful usage of words, sincerely apologise for that. you can look out for other more innocent themes to come.

Gypsy tee




finally took the photos of the gypsy gal tee (mine and sis).

the black one white print is mine. deep pink with brown print is my sis. all done with acrylic paint. the paint could not stay on my sis one just after one wash. and mine seemed like it'll be back to black tee after more washes. wahahaha. yep, in case any of you campmates noticed, yes this is the one i wore most of the time for book in.

look at the state of the printing after one wash. "vintage-washed" effect.

oh yes. those who are interested in my graphics and designs, can feel free to email me via: jinxp86@hotmail.com. Prices negotiable.
yeowy has been asking me weird questions lately. are you interested in printing something? hahaha.

d.i.y.

D.I.Y. Design It Yourself
woo. this is a fabulous book.
good book to introduce for those who enjoy making their own presents, cards, notebooks, namecards, cd packaging, posters and also tshirts.
though the information are kinda limited but the ideas are really something to look at.innovative.
i'm quite suprised that the national library actually stocked these type of books. keep it up NLB. hahaha.
too bad this book is catered more to the Americans, where you can simply "loan" the printing machine just to print on your tees.
A tip for online e-commerce (basically more for Americans) - set up a seller's account with PayPal or similar service, go to PayPal Web for more instructions. Quoted: "When a user clicks on Add to Cart button, he/she will be directed to PayPal site to complete transaction." wa-ow. hahaha.
just some pictures from the book.
one on right is quite an inspiration. using bleach to write whatever you want, on your tee! but no mistakes is tolerated. hahaha.

Cant Draw

Realised I can't draw properly nowadays.
Can't put ideas to physical drawings.
Can't draw the darn thing lar.

Didnt put up any entries recently. Hahaha. In case anyone following this religiously, paiseh.
Preparing for 2 birthdays. Trying to get people attending, booking reservations, think for presents, shop for presents, make presents, blah blah blah. Am so proud of myself sometimes.

But there are good news though. Have come up with consept for the layout of myteeblog :). Heez. Do anticipate it. Just drew out the last week during duty but havent convert and arrange it in soft copy. Hmmm, hopefully not too long to get this thing down.

Maybe I should at least set myself some deadline. However just feel that it's not very effective since I'll just give myself reasons for not completing it and pushing it till later date. Procrastinate. Yea, that's the word.

Celebrating for JW's birthday and invited Mr Lim along. The others were sharing with him some of their little business dreams. Theme restaurants, theme parks, unique eateries, publishing comics (friend's friend). I did not mention about my tshirt plan. They noticed my tshirt though (striped one). Mr Lim pointed it out to everyone else. Glad he still remembers (of course, stole his acrylic paint for the tee). Hahaha.

MLB won! Milu Bing! Milu Bing! Milu Bing!
Hahahah. And Weiqi (keyboardist) is so so so talented. He can sing, play so many instruments, design caps and also design tees! Wa-ow! My new idol liao. Though he looked kinda mud eh. Wahahaha. Talented can liao. And he's gonna study JW's course (NTU's new art course that requires portfolio of the artworks) lar! Seems like it's giving me some excuse to switch over to that course. Wahahaha.
