Concept Arts for FA FYP

Theme: Night Life

Nowadays people dedicated most of their time in working.
Some of them are too tired untill they find no meaning in living.
In order to escape from the harsh reality,
they let themselves indulge in some unhealthy night activities.
Most of these activities look attractive and exciting.
However, once someone get stuck into them,
will finally see the side effects and dangers.
Although life is harsh and stressful,
we should not runaway from it and let those activities to numb our senses.
Face the reality and reassure our purpose in living.
For example, for the sake of your love one.

Story
A miserable working man has been working late.
He always go to a park, drink beers and got drunk before going back home.
Tonight he is led into a private garden by a mystery man.
He follow the mystery guy and jump in to a well. He dropped into a surreal world.
The place full of exciting night life events.
However, he felt haunted when he sees the gloomy side of this world.
He tries to runaway. 

"Ghosts" keep chasing him.
His suitcase suddenly grows a pair of wings and brings him home.
The wings disperse into a piece of picture of his wife & daughter.

MyTee - Totally Customized


This semester I took CyberP (a course that teach us how to start a business!) together with another 9 group-mates : Shiew Woei, Bing, Kong, Shin, Rong, Carlyn, Wee, Khai, and Val. The PERFECT Group - Monopoly!
We decided to sell hand-paint customized t-shirt and here is my first design for myself. That is my cat named Anya who never ever attack me with claws, what a gentle cat she is.
About this design I made Anya grabs on me on top of my heart (left chest).
It means "Hug me and warm my heart."
