Decompression - ruangrupa Presents

After 10 years of existence, ruangrupa, as a place for sharing ideas located in Jakarta, celebrated their tenth anniversary by holding events for 30 days in various places in Jakarta; from exhibitions, art collaborative projects, seminars, film screenings, music festivals, workshops, book publishing, video and film launching, as well as various works of art in public spaces.

Expanding The Space and Public was chosen as the theme for their events, involving individuals and organizations, both from Indonesia and foreign countries. I only got a chance to attend their event on Sunday, january 2. Anyway, I managed to capture some nice moments during the event. Hehehee...

*P.S.: Please do not comment on the watermark. I just forgot to change the year. LOL!

Commission: Java Rockin' Land Poster

Last week, I was asked by a friend to make a poster for her college assignment. I still remember the conversation between us before I started working on the project.

*This has been translated into English :)

friend: "Lix, I need a help!"
me: "Hmmm...give a shot!"
friend: "I need you to make me a poster of JRL 2011. But, I don't want to get it for free."
me: "What do you mean?"
friend: "I'll pay you."
me: "Ooo...Okay (that is cool). When will you need it, by the way? Do you have any concepts?"
friend: "I want you to finish it by Wednesday. I'm gonna email the concept to you tonight."
me: "Whooaaa! Today's..."
friend: "Monday!"
me: "Geez...So I only have two days to make you a poster? Oh, well...okay then. Lemme know once you sent it."
friend: "Okay!"

I'd been waiting for her email to know what concept she brought up. Tho, I only got a text @ 9.10 pm saying:

"Lix, for the JRL 2011, I come up with the concept of 'Nineties Rock 'n Roll'..The target audience are young and old Rock 'n Roll music lovers. For references, you may look up the official website..Thank you so much!"

I replied, "is this all?" and she answered, "yes!"

Oh, okay. I only had two days to get it done with no concept (I'd rather call it a theme). I won't waste my time. So, I started off by browsing the official site to get the general ideas what they look like. Then I came up with several things:

1. Rock 'n Roll in nineties was dominated by Grunge genre.
2. Grunge is identical with dark and gloomy background, with scratches. Vector lines. Etc.

Got it! I started sketching:

1st draft.

My first draft was okay. But I didn't think this represented the event itself.

New Year's Resolutions

The very tough and full-of-temptation year of 2010 has gone. I've learned many things and have found plenty of new things. For a moment, I just couldn't believe it. The year has gone so fast. But, a new beginning is coming. It awaits me, right over there...New year means a new me. Then what's new?

1. The most important thing - PRAY 5 TIMES A DAY!
2. Ride my bike more - to get healthier.
3. Eat better - to gain more weight.
4. Save more money - for my future.
5. Learn something new - means new challenges.
6. Become more organized - hmm...I am.
7. Manage time better - stay sharp.
8. Be more independent - everybody needs privacy.
9. Be more responsible - still struggling.
10. Be more often to reply text message - well, it depends.
11. Take a trip over Asia - which will be started on May.
12. Volunteer to help others - be generous, eh?
13. Find a better-half - I put it on the 12th?
14. Get a better job - 2 years are more than just enough.
15. Buy a fixie bike - a wish...
16. Stop smoking

Where did you spend your new year's eve? I was stuck at Hotel Indonesia roundabout, but managed to capture some fireworks there...
