Selamat Datang Welcome Memang saya suka melukis. Didn't go to any art school. I'm mostly self taught. Went to college in US to become an Engineer instead :) Decided to do this blog to share some of my work. One of them was done when I was only 10 (most of my earlier works were badly damaged due to flood, and my mom threw them away..sob..sob). I use pencil, watercolor and oil. But the only oil painting I have is the one I did when I was 10. Ha ha figure that out

Mitsu Evo III - Rally of Thailand, Watercolor, 1996
Evo III Rally of Thailand - 1996
Boy do I love rally back then. Still do but don't follow them that much now. I was a bit disappointed I guess. Why? because the sport did not get the support that it deserves. We spend so much on the "glamour' sports with little result. While we have a World Champion, I repeat World Champion in Karamjit Singh aka the Flying Sikh and yet he cannot compete because of lack of sponsors? I think I'd better stop here :)

Cats In Action:1978, Oil Painting
Argentina won the Word cup for the first time beating the Netherlands 3 - 1. I watched the game in early hours of the day with my late father. I was ten in darjah 4. My class teacher was Cikgu Sabariah tajul Muluk. The hottest woman in school. I managed to do this painting in oil. hah! The equipments were my father's. The painting was a copy Walter J. Wilwerding's work in his book, "Cats in Action". The painting was ravaged by flash flood, and left to rot while I was in the States. Fortunately I managed to save it in time. So, here it is. My first ever completed oil painting.
Rotten Forgotten: Best in Category SAA 2006
The star of my works. My first ever entry to the Society of All Artist (SAA) Artist of the year competition 2006. I won the best in category for still life (listed as finalist). Quite a recognition for a part time/amateur painter like me. Considering more than 8,000 entries from all over the world (well, mostly UK). Here is the link. http://www.saa.co.uk/galleries/fullsize.aspx?id=648
The story behind this watercolor painting was, my wife hid some Clementine on the fridge, but they were forgotten. and thus some of them turn bad. Decided to take a few pictures of it, then came the idea of re-arranging it for this painting. The light was done using masking and the rot was done using table salt
Single Title Not Me
Single title not me... ha ha (Sorry Anna). It pretty much says about this tennis star. Even though she was one of the famous players in this sport, she never won any single title. I drew this portrait in the early 2000.
The thing I like the most about this portrait is the hair. I was having fun doing it.

Splash!!
This was my entry for the SAA Artist of the Year contest 2009. I use masking fluid to do the water splash. I actually need to re-touch the whiskers with shadow and dark lines. But kinda like the thick white look
