Rabbit doesn't fly...

I'm back. 
It's been 19 months since my last blog update... where did the time fly... ha. Ok, now I am trying to catch up with updating my last trip with my dear illustrator friend, EmilaYusof to Bologna Children's Book Fair on last April. 


The journey started with a flight to Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport, with a layover at Dubai International Airport. It was 7 hours flight to Dubai from Kuala Lumpur... man, I hate to fly that long...

Ngabuburit!

Ngabuburit = Waiting for break fasting time.

Back to my childhood time... when the western movie series "Bonanza" and "The Little House on The Prairie" were shown on TV. They inspire kids from places where you can still find banana trees around to play cowboys vs indians, along with horses and rifles made of banana leaves. It was one of many awesome games to play during the Ramadhan festive season!
You can make your own horse and rifle by following the instructions on the picture I made.... Enjoy! ;)

Rice stall at Pasar

"Keok"

Pasar 'Kopro' Jakarta back in the early 80's.. when mothers still had the privilege to get a 'real fresh' chicken, and children could found out from what creature does 'ayam goreng' come from.. "KEOK!"

And Happiness is...

And happiness is...

Happy 14th anniversary, love

To my Raw, my one and the only Raw..

If you must steal, then steal my heart, it's yours for the taking.
If you must lie, then lie beside me because I need you by my side. 
And if you must cheat, then cheat death, because I cannot live without you.

Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
If I make up my mind
Wedn'sday would be fine
Thursday's on my mind
Friday'd give me time
Saturday could wait
But Sunday'd be too late
Do I have to tell a story
Of a thousand rainy days
Since we first met?
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up
Getting wet. Yeah, Yeah.

Seven - Draw your days

 SEVEN: Draw Your Days! is an event to celebrate the anniversary of CAB*, so we do it each year on the same dates, always starts on November 7th. Our first event was in 2009, when we also launched our website. We also printed and exhibited a lot of participants’ drawings at Galeri Soemardja, FSRD ITB, while having a talk session. The result was indeed pleasantly surprising. The works that were produced day-by-day appeared in different media: drawings, comics, photographs, even collages and poems, which came not only from Indonesia but also from the United States and The Netherlands.
2010 brought similarly surprising results, and also coming from many parts of the world, including Kuwait and Malaysia. Friends who are spending most of their time typing and clicking admitted that they found relief upon returning to their pens and pencils. Friends who are used to creating fantasy and fictional stories found it a refreshing change to recreate their own, real experiences in drawings and graphics. Among the most interesting things is, although we knew that the same week can be entirely different for everyone, we didn’t really ‘realize’ it until we saw the reflections of it, as expressed by different individuals.




And this is my SEVEN day ONE:)
