Dasuke "Dice" Tsutsumi

This name has been popping up now and then since a friend introduced me to his work. Without realizing, he has helped in being one of my biggest influence and inspiration.

Early this year I was attracted to a short called 'The Dam Keeper'. And only today have gotten a chance to watch it. Never realizing who the director was.

His name and work keeps popping up secretly, unknowingly . But that's a good surprise. Love this recent work of his.

The making of a Short

About time

Here is another attempt at reviving an old blog.

We go through millions of thoughts, inspirations, reflections a day. Blogs are a good way for me to sort out those experiences in a sort of file to be reflected back in a different time. As seen from the date of my last post, most times I failed, thus you can only imagine the mess it has accumulated in my brain since then. Especially in the last 10 months.

Now is about the right time to try again.

Possible move to tumblr?

That Flying Thing

Doodled this yesterday while at work. slow day at the Bristol SweetMart

Springy spring

Hello Spring! I've heard from peeps that Winter has a way of bringing you down. As this was only my 2nd winter in England and the novelty of snow have not properly worn off yet, I thought, meehhh winter depression is not going to affect me. I also pride in myself in always looking at the positive side in things, so I was doubly convinced it won't affect me much. Proved wrong I was.

Last week my final year animation was nominated for the South West Regional Television Student Awards. Although I did not win, it was a good kick-up-the-ass for me to do something. Woo!

Been catching up on some character drawings and just jotting down little ideas. Will hopefully upload something next week.

To the New Year! (whichever calendar you follow)

boy has this blog long been abandoned

reminder to self, rant more on your blog

It has been a very busy summer and winter nonetheless. Will update on that soon.

But for now, to start my online babble for 2012, here's a picture I did in honour of the Chinese New Year. the year of the Water Dragon

the message is, share your mandarin oranges. did you get that? yeah?

and here's another drawing I did, though it has nothing to do with the new year or anything that has happened in my life recently. Just something I felt like drawing.

SLUG POWER!

Every time I look at this picture though, I think of Johnny Bravo and the trademark sound he makes when he thinks he's making a cool move. "HOOK HUK HOOK!"

Slug in the mud, happy to find a single glowing flower. It has magical powers I expect. but what do I know

KAMI

KAMI

a cut-out stop motion

My final year film, KAMI follows 2 brother's dispute over who gets imaginative control of their playtime. Ibi, as the older of the 2 has always been the natural leader in dominating their playtimes. This time, Dodo is determined to have his imaginations heard. * Use of 2 different paper craft (Quilling and Origami) to represent each brother's different imagination style.

KAMI both means 'Paper' in Japanese, and 'Us' in Malay
