2010-06-10T05:04:00.001-07:00

I honestly suck at photoshop, using wha-tablet or wtv shit.

Gaah, so for now I'll stick to what I do best.

Sorry dear readers for the much delayed posts!

This post is will be covering those days where I'm in the midst of scratching my scalp to a math test, brainstorming for new ideas or merely,

pigging on some cupcakes. <3

enjoy the pics! (:

Jo.

wheee.

2010-06-06T08:23:00.000-07:00

zis blog is not dead. no, not yet.

for.....its gonna get revamped!!! :DD

I know I made so many janji kosongs but lemme get the hang of photoshop and I'll get rite back to work this 2 weeks! :DD

holidays never made me feel happier.

An inspiration.

2010-04-03T10:30:00.000-07:00

*crack knuckles* let see.

Where exactly do I get my inspirations from?

That; depends. And I most certainly do not believe in the picture above.

I'm not gonna give a lecture although this post is presumably gonna be lengthy,

but I absolutely love blabbing.

Just like any other ordinary girl. Or not. :x

The way I look at inspirations are merely just a random burst of ideas,

a loud, screeching brainstorm,

possibly anything that kinda relates to our annoying alarm clocks. screw them.

and these random yet, absolutely precious moments,

can be found wherever,

whenever.

As an example, my L.O.V.E. logo was inspired by this picture my friend took when she was..

probably bored while on vacation.

Some were even crazier like, the Instant Karma,

was cooked up while I was listening to the song of the same title by a band.

Called Tokio Hotel. heh.

Oh and the shirt with the so called 'scratching' hand,

a combination of teenage depression and the blue Navi ppl in Avatar. lol.

Basically, I get my ideas when I'm on a certain theme.

And from there, miracles happen lah. :)

Inspirations comes unexpectedly, and sometimes, abruptly.

Like love I guess.

So for you budding artists out there,

grab a pencil and a sketchbook a DSLR would be nice too ;P,

get out of your house.

Start living, start absorbing, start getting inspired.

happy brainstorming! :)

p.s, how did I get the idea to paint t-shirts?

heh, I simply learned from a friend.

Monsterr.

2010-03-22T07:10:00.000-07:00

Random gilamad fact of the day; saya suka kucing gemuk.

Omgleee, feel like squeezing that cat.

SOO CUTE. -.-

Made a chef hat for this camp I went to.

Thought everyone might do the same boring thang which they did so....

I might aswell take the oppurtunity to spice mine up a lil bit. SORRY LAH :P

ze fish on the right and;

ze em0 lookin scout gal on the right.

And a gaga-fied top for Ashley J. :D

Glad you liked it, had fun doing it myself lol.

That boy is a monsterr. <3

GEEEEK

2010-03-16T06:37:00.001-07:00

WADDUP!

Missed me? xD

Well, I missed you readers like gilamad.

My hols are here and I'm determined to get back on track.

And here, I brush the dirt off my paint bottles and kick off the new collection with....

GEEK! :D

Its partially this self portrait of myself,

y'know; the braces and my red shades.

Hehe. nvm that!

Makes a pretty quirky gift for a friend who wears braces I guess.

THIS IS FOR YOU, IRENE! :P

till then! :D

Jo.

I see you.

2010-02-25T05:13:00.001-08:00

dadme

is that a hand scratching someone's back?

*gruntsighsweatfart* no. -.-"

HAHAHAHA

I'm flattered by the inconsiderate remark from dad.

Ok fine, I was bein really moody.

Painted that around 1 a.m. on a school night. Or morning.

I haven't been getting lots of brainstorms lately,

been caught up in the midst of your average teenage school life.

Super sorry for the long wait peeps! :(

It's so amusing when I look back at my artwork,

and think of the source of inspiration to create a total gilamad work.

And when you really scored a fantastic idea, you know its gonna turn out great.

Even before you gently glide the fragile tip of an ordinary paintbrush,

across a plain top,

and give birth to art.

Ideas are always copied, manipulated, underrated, overrated.

But, that's ok.

The most important thing to me is that,

you were the core of that piece of art.

You gave life to something new.

and THAT, nobody can ever manipulate or steal in any way.

simple said, they were friggin desperate and they stole your idea because they know that,

they can never produce something compared to yours. :P

Thus, you should never feel insecure in this artistic world.

Go out, fly a kite, take up photography, rock out to Placebo,

originality comes from the weirdest ideas ever.

Seriously. lol.

BAZOOKA!

2010-01-24T03:47:00.000-08:00

It's supposed to be an 'Avatar' inspired kinda look.

Didn't turn out as much as I wanted it to look like that blue girl in the movie.

Swt.

Alexander Wang;

I love you but..

I'mma collaborate with Sheseido to create a makeup line in the future

and they'll like me better. :P

bring on the fireworks.

2009-12-30T07:17:00.001-08:00

HAPPY 2010, peeps!:D

God bless and lots of muaxx,

Chris; I want you as my freelance model. :/

The mask above was made by yours truly. :)

Thx for correcting me, Leon.

Paper-mache'd.

Missed watching Art Attack back in those days. lol.

XMAS IS COMIN!

Get something for your special one by WhiteCanvasDesigns. ;)

Erin Loves You Lah.

2009-12-17T04:45:00.000-08:00

As quirky as the design above,

the source of inspiration originated from a petite hottie,

none other than the lovely;

Erin Low. :)

Once again, thanks for the pics, Erin. :]

Jo.

Because I love my readers.

2009-12-16T23:39:00.001-08:00

Greetings from sunny KL!

Ok, I just realised something tru my phone,

I love taking pics of scenic views.

All the pictures in today's post was taken using my baby,

the sony ericsson S500i.

Emily Ezrina; I bloody miss you. :'(

I absolutely love Taman Tun.

Gawd, I love those bright neon lights.

One of the main reasons I come to school early in the morning;

is to see that amazing view. :)

I think its time for a Flickr account.

Versatility.

2009-12-16T01:23:00.000-08:00

I never thought that I'd like Korean Pop. Ever.

How I'd kill to be their stylist.

2NE1 is cool. 'Nuf said.

"You've got to start somewhere."

Out of procrastination, I made my first t-shirt design.

This.

Horridly beautiful.

Masterpiece.

Ok fine, Malcolm+ KM+ Ash+Lynnete and I collaborated on this piece. :P

God bless your PJK shirt, Matthew Ong.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PUBIC HAIR DRAWING. swt.

47/50. ngehe.

Thank you, cikgu Jam.

I never realised how jakun I am.

I'm absolutely in love with the pink kilometrico.

My 1st ever succesful piece of anyaman.

Took bloody lot of effort for that.

And sleepless nights.

Damn you, anyaman.

This drawing reminds me of the drag queen from Lipstick Jungle.

Is it me or does Lindsay Price looks a tad asian. :/

Ok, why am I typing in blue?

Aargh, screw blogger.

The new and versatile accesory piece I made.

As you can see, it can be used as a headpiece/headband,

a bracelet,

a belt,

a neclace/choker and

an anklet.

You won't be visiting Diva anytime soon with this. :P

Jo.

2009-12-12T05:06:00.000-08:00

Today's program is brought to you by Wonka Nerds. Pfft. My arse.

They're tasty though. :P

Hey ppl!

I've been really engaged in my work nowadays.

And as promised, this post; hopefully, will make it up for my long hiatus.

Potrait of Lauren Chin.-14 November 2008.

I've been receiving lots of wonderful comments on this top.

Thanks ppl! really appreciated it. :)

Can't wait to get started on them.

Next post will be an awesome one so stay tuned people!

Dental CARE!! <3

2009-11-17T02:20:00.001-08:00

No, this post ain't bout my orthodontist. XD

I've made this t-shirt dedicated to La Roux.

ILY SO MUCH!!

This is how the previous sketch looked like after I painted it on my t-shirt. :D

ILY,ILY, ILY. X)

aaaah, I'm in the Quicksand. <3

My emo theme song.

2009-11-12T00:18:00.000-08:00

I've got not much to talk bout today, really. But this song has been stuck in my mind the whole time at school. Check 'em out:

Farewell to the Fairground- La Roux (White Lies cover)

sorry for my blogging slackiness, ppl.

2009-11-11T01:33:00.001-08:00

Really sorry for another hiatus, ppl.

I've been caught up with school, friends; the usual teenage thang.

And also because.....

I haven't got the plain t-shirts to paint on. :(

French Connection United Kingdom betul. =.=

LMFAO.

this duo is really... sick.

Seriously. Gilamad. OMGWTFBBQ SICKK.

But their music totally kick ass. :))

Watch.

Addicted.

2009-10-25T23:52:00.000-07:00

I had to make you guys watch the music video first.

La Roux; where should I start.....

She's gorgeous. Not like I'm lesbo or anything lol.

I woudn't be suprised if she turn heads of both genders. :)

Her style is uniquely edgy. I coudn't get her outta my mind these few days. -.-

As a self-proclaimed fashion junkie/critic, I give her two thumbs up.

Just look at that jacket. <33

You can catch her on that MTV Push segment during advertisements. *lmao*

Her music has this depeche mode+ goldfrapp+ prince edge to it.

Are you listening to the music vid?

If you are, I bet you can tell. ;)

I'm attempting to bring this look into my closet and for the upcoming photoshoot as well.

I need suggestions on good vintage shops.

lemme know if u have any at my chat box yeah. :D

I might have accidentally mistaken her as Samantha Ronson at first.

FYI, Sam Ronson is the DJ gal who is in this on-off relationship with LiLo.

Her style can be concluded as this 80's retro look. Really compliments her music.

Footlose.

She's also a fan of "16 candles".

A must-watch if you liked "13 going on 30" and "Angus, thongs and perfect snogging".

Learn more about La Roux on MTV Push.

2009-10-24T04:33:00.000-07:00

Sup, people!

I'm currently in love with Ellie from La Roux right now. (points upwards)

Her androgynous style is killer. And her music too. :))

Check them out, best electropop music I've heard by far. Serious.

I make these upon order so email me if you're interested. :)

And I'll be doing this photoshoot with my collaborating partner, Serena Fortunata soon.

Anyways!

The photoshoot is gonna be around..say, November? And yeah, 5 pretty models will be posing for some of my designs and Serena Fortunata as well.

You don't wanna miss it. :)

In the mean time, follow me here for the latest updates about the photoshoot and more designs in store.

STAY TUNED!! X)

Yours truly,

Jo.

New conditions, for your sake.

2009-10-12T06:35:00.000-07:00

HEY PEOPLE!

I've got some issue here.

PJK SHIRTs are not accepted anymore.

Reason is; there has been a new discipline teacher in BU3 *coughs* and he/she emphasised on the formal PJK attire which will take action starting from 2009 onwards.

Simple said: I'm dead meat if I do not explain this business to him/her because Pn. Zarina was the only teacher who was informed about this artwork which was started as a small Hari Keusahawanan '09 activity.

so yeah, no pjk t-shirts yeah pls and tq.

I missed you, blog.

2009-10-12T01:54:00.000-07:00

And yes, I do beading. Interested? :))

The latest design, L.O.V.E.

Made this for my classmate, Imad.

HELLO WORLD!!!

It's J here, I've got some good news, NO BAD NEWS!! :)))

OK, my hiatus, is kinda off actually. My business will officially start on NOVEMBER onwards.

Cuz you see, I've got to study for exams which is on the 20th so...

YEAH! I'm hoping to paint soon and I've STOCKED UP MY PAINT!

Awesome new colours like pink, wine red and orange. :)

And I've also got GLITTERY FABRIC PAINT!!!

So I'll see you guys soon and I hope I'll makeeven more exciting designs,

custom-made just for you. <3

Happy Brithday, Ms Savy :)

2009-09-22T03:09:00.000-07:00

As you guys may have noticed, I've been on a hiatus for a while. X)
I'm really sorry if this has caused any inconvenience but I hope you guys will understand.
I did so because my exams are approaching and I need to refill my paint.
Good news is; I bought the new paint I needed and I'm all set to paint again.
Bad news is.... I'm still on hiatus until exams are over so.... patience ppl, patience. :P

And yes, this top is specially for my violin guru, Ms Savy.
I hope you like it. :)
I coudn't have achieved that merit in the violin exam nor could I have PLAYED well if it wasnt because of you, Ms Savy.

I sew those two beads for the eyes. :D

Close up.

This on the other hand, is my new design; called Where Got Alien.

WTH.

Did that on my old Hang Ten collared t. I'll be back after exams so..yeah. See you soon. :)

Orders closed until conditions subside.

2009-09-02T00:24:00.000-07:00

Dengan segala hormatnya saya merujuk kepada perkara tersebut.

1. OK guys, I'm super sorry bout this but I can't take orders starting from 1 September 2009- (yet to be confirmed).

2. The reason is I'm kinda sick right for the moment and I'm afraid the condition I'm in right now will disable me from working.

3. I'm not gonna be at school for a few days because of the MC letter given by the doctor.

4. I'm running low on paint and I haven't bought more paint yet.

I'm really sorry for any inconvenience caused, do know that I'll get straight back to work as soon as I'm better.

Brandon. :)

2009-09-02T00:14:00.000-07:00

Sorry for doing your t-shirt super late macha, I haven't been feeling pretty well and I'm pretty sure you know why. *scratch scratch*

Anyways, I hope you like yours. I remembered you wanted something like KM's so I applied the same colours but a DIFFERENT design.

Keen Meng's was heavy with arrows. Yours; chained letters. :)

From this, it turns to the pic above. I hate the blogger photo uploader. -.-

Green Day's "21 Guns" inspired racer back top

2009-08-25T05:32:00.000-07:00

Ok, I really gotta go so I'll make this post quick. Do you know that Green Day's latest album 21'st century breakdown has a story behind it??

Throughout the album, the story revolves around two characters; a boy named Christian and a girl named Gloria.

Christian is this self-destructive dude while Gloria's this bright girl who seem to change as the tracks in the album go on.

And lastly, "21 Guns" was where Christian and Gloria simply.... accepted the modern world as it is. Now you understand why there's this couple kissing on the album's front cover?

I went to 1 Utama to buy 2 more racer back tops. One of which I've designed here, the 21 Guns top. I hope you like it Emily. :)

Tay Keen Meng.

2009-08-22T02:55:00.000-07:00

Macha, I'm done with ur PJK t-shirt. I hope you like it. :)

I added silver glitter paint to make it look nicer.

Close up pic. Can you see the white-ish colur at the arrows? that's the silver paint. It'll be more visible up close.

I'm not obsessed with arrows, just slightly ADDICTED. X)

But don't arrows look cool?

The Rainbow.

2009-08-21T10:17:00.000-07:00

Just a picture I wanted share with you guys.

Ok, this picture here is to briefly show you the size of the two tops I've designed previously.

The tops are in M size btw, and yes, I'm wearing it. =.=

So if your body size is about the same with me, you can most probably fit in it.

And I actually took that pic after my meal so that makes its pretty ok in size. :)

The Bee and The Rainbow.

2009-08-19T23:07:00.000-07:00

I've spent the whole night doing these designs. Gaah.
These tops are priced at RM 20 each.
Custom made, painted on Forever Damsel racer back tops.
100% cotton, 100% originality.

THE RAINBOW.

Close up image.

Vibrant colours with a hint of mystique monochrome shade.

I used lots of paint on this specific top.Seriously. I had to paint the white base before starting on the colours.

THE BEE.

hehe. I personally favour this top for its humour. So stop saying I'm emo. :P

I painted the honeycombs yellow with a shade of glittery gold to create a softer pastel tone to the design. The flower... *speechless*. X)

Purchase these WhiteCanvas custom-made tees with 10% discount before 1 September 2009.
Limited edition.While Stocks last.

The first step.

2009-08-18T03:19:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, Jo Yee here. Basically, this blog is dedicated to my hopes of creating an eccentric line of artwork including t-shirts, glassware..basically anything that's suitable in material sense.
Right now, my main thing is t-shirts lah as you can see. :)

With your support, I hope I'll be able to create this line of artwork into an impact that defines every piece of artwork as an individual and pave my way to a wider view towards art.

Enough with my grammy award speech, lemme just start off this empty blog with a couple of pics:

Close up on Alya's t-shirt.

A bigger view to briefly show you the size

I did this design for my friend, Ashley.

As you can see, the designs differ in shapes and size. Further details below.

Yushan's t-shirt. My first customer lol.

My very own piece of mess.

The shirt that isnt suppose to be here XD. Collaborative work from Keen Meng, Ashley, Lynette, Malcolm and I for Matthew Ong's t-shirt lol. The first ever t-shirt I've laid my hands on.

The t-shirts are custom made to your liking or you can leave everything to me. And trust me, I won't vandalise it like the picture above lol. Sorry Matthew. :P

Since the t-shirts are custom made, a minimal charge of RM 8 is charged for workmanship, design, paint etc,etc.

RM 8: - YOU provide the base t-shirt and I'll design on the t-shirt given.

STILL CONFUSED?? ok. Example. You have your school t-shirt, any OLD t-shirt that you wanna revamp (preferrably white) you pass it to me and... BOOM!! I'll design your shirt with your name or a motive. All you gotta do is:

1. Show me the t-shirt you want the design on.

2. Specify any certain area on the t-shirt where you want the design to be e.g: front side, shoulder, sleeves... backside oso can. :P

3. Fill me in with your details: name, describe your design (optional), class ( that is if you're in my school, SMKBU3), contact number.

3 supercalifragilisticexpialidocious EASY steps only.

I'll also be selling my designs on plain white t-shirts very soon but it will be cost slightly more because of the t-shirt itself, paint, petrol, tax... you get the idea lah lol. I'll keep everyone posted on this because right now, I haven't purchased the white t-shirts yet so its best you guys stick to the RM8 t-shirt.

If you're interested in getting your t-shirts designed, CONTACT ME!

you can cari me everywhere in school X) p.s: 1 AKTIF. Preferrably just leave me a comment here and I'll get back to you A.S.A.P.

Remember to give me your contact details yeah. For further enquiries email me at lohjoyee@gmail.com.
