the colors of autumn.

Mother nature are the super-artists of all who create most of the beautiful artworks ever. Like i've been mention before, this is my first time to experience autumn in here and it was gorgeous!

Many times i read in some fairytale or books talking about how pretty is the autumn color. I never imagined i can see it until now.

Here's some of the pictures i took to share for you all :D

Enjoy! ; )

What i've learned 24022012.

Some week ago, i have an urge to eat chinese potsticker ( jiao zi ). I want to make it myself but get scared of failing it.

Then i push myself at last to make it, and it turns out well and nicely even the look of it not so promising i think, here's the evidence ;

The taste are pretty same with what i remember when i still in Indonesia. I really happy that i tried it, it's not too hard actually, i will make more of this later.


#Life, is the same. 


We always afraid to do new things for the first time, after you try it and experience it yourself, you eventually gain more courage to do it more and making it better. 


Learning from your mistake in the past and move on into new challenges.


Sometimes we scared at first before even try it because see or hear other people said it is hard. But until you try it yourself, how do you know if it really hard? who know if it really easy?


It's like when you open one door, 


the other will open also for us. 

5 awesome daily sites to feed me with creativity.

Everything can be the source of inspirations. From books, daily objects, people, anything that you can think of. But I find up that this 5 websites are the most awesome one to feed you daily for inspirations.

Just click the title list to bring you to the sites :D


1. Pinterest

Currently the most powerful site to highly boost my inspirations.

From craft, art, cooking, gardening, design, almost anything you can find it here, allowing you to *pin* anything from all over internet and make your digital inspirations board here.

I like this one because i don't have to worry for making too many bookmarks on my browser ( i hate clutters ) and forget which is which i want to see it for my inspirations.

You can create many boards whichever you desire, and every time you pinned something, you get the links also automatically.

Neat :D

2. Google Reader

Google is really a lifesaver ( for me ) ; from mail, this *blog* ( of course ), documents, etc, and this one is the most awesome one from it. You don't need to worry to miss updates from blogs you love, or open a lot of tabs in your browser. It's simple, sleek, and easy to navigate.

It's like subscribing a magazines and send straight to your door everyday.

Definitely worth to try :D

3. Deviant art

The place for all art lovers *lurks*.

Tons of artworks uploaded everyday, you can also, of course upload your artwork here and show it to the world.

Good for making a portfolio also, they provide an easy DA-folio for making a straightforward-portfolio-website for free.

Nuff said, just try it! :D

4. Craftgawker / weddinggawker/ foodgawker / dwellinggawker

Another newly website that I found from Pinterest. Mainly craft, wedding stuff, home, and food interests. Constant daily updates because everybody can submit their own. Its pretty straightforward, you see the thumbnails, click it, and it will take you to the website links.

Fast, easy, and an eye candy satisfaction.

5. Evernote

For you who like to organize and hate clutters in your life, this one is the must-try.

You can put notes, links, drag-and-drop photos from your desktop, clip articles, and lot more awesome stuff. It is a cross platform friendly so you don't need to worry if you want to save inspirations that pop suddenly into your mind ( that darn spontaneous inspirations! ).

Did I mention it's free? you can, of course pay the premium one which give you more additions.

world and us - artwork.

From the early childhood, I always love to draw my own original characters.

When i'm still at high school, i remember i have one friend that want to make a comic book with me. We sketch, draw, discuss the storyline, the characters, everything. 

We we're so excited with it. But because back then we have lot of paperworks, home works, this and that, we eventually forget about it, for that we grow up and take different path ( she's a doctor now). 

Until one day, that i feel the urge to revive the characters that we both build many years ago. 

It started when i look my old sketches that i have ( i always collect them somehow ) and i'm surprised i still have the sketches.

So here it is, the "revival" of original characters that we make long time ago. Too bad i already forgot their name and story. But i still remember that they both are like brother and sister. The blue one are really chatty, can't fly because it have a small wings, the pinkish are silent one and can fly. 

both are a mix of squirrel, bird, and...uhm...butt? lol.

don't laugh, many people think we draw a butt-face animals. 

I remember i have the idea from the old comic book that i love so much, pank ponk ( i can't find this anymore sadly ) and mokona from magic knight rayearth.

Maybe i will not, and never make a comic book out of it after all. But with this, i will remember it for the rest of my life.
