Hello 2015! What a year 2014 was.
January was a very busy month. I didn't expect to be very busy after my internship because I'm currently unemployed and I will continue being unemployed till March because I'm currently tied with family matters. Anyways, in December while I was away in Kuala Lumpur for Comic Fiesta, I found out that entries for Beautiful Junk 2015 is open (as informed by my former boss). For those who didn't know, Beautiful Junk is an art and music exhibition showcasing both local and foreign artworks from around the world (or at least South East Asia). With entries now open and the theme had been given out, I see this as an opportunity to work with other wonderful creative minds (I love collaborations!). This year, I'm thinking of bringing back the whole thing I did with photography and pixel art mash up. This time, the whole thing will be revamped as I will be working with someone whose photography skills exceeds mine (I met up with her recently and holy shit she has an old Polaroid camera! Too bad the Polaroid films were spoiled that day).
Currently everything is being planned. I will also be working with my fellow PIX3L_NATION buddy/bro for another collaborative piece. Ultimately there will only be two submissions for Beautiful Junk but I aim to squeeze out as many artsy turd from the collaboration. At the same time, I was busy with this year's prom.
It's not my college's prom. Nor that I have a date to go to prom to start with. I am performing yet again at my friend's college annual dinner/prom. Like last year, I didn't play with my band for prom. I played with some the most awesome people I'm proud to call friends (of course one of them was a member of my actual band). This year tho, some drama ensued. There was a big misunderstanding between my actual band and the band I'm playing with for prom. Nonetheless, prom happened and we played. Unfortunately, just like last year the crowd was horrible. I've seen more emotions in dead people than these stuck up pretty boys and girls. A very unresponsive crowd. They were dull, boring and dry.Unless someone drops some dubstep, these killjoys ain't gonna even budge. In fact, this year's crowd was even worse than last year's prom. Ugh. This is the last time I'm playing at their prom. The food and venue was nice though.
I also just recently finished working on my first ever pixel art commission work on Deviantart. Third in total of commissions I've done. Not many people know this but I actually charge commissions hella cheap on Deviantart. So spread the word or hook a brother up if you need some pixels done.
Lastly, I am finally working on a collaboration project with Kazu Livingstone after about two years of talking. I don't think I should say anything about it at the moment.
That is all.

Dead Altogether
It's been a year and my feelings for PIX3L_NATION had not changed. The ratio of work and passion is still unbalanced as fuck with the heavier side of things being work. I still did some shit for PIX3L_NATION throughout this year but it just doesn't feel the same way and it could possibly stay the same way if I keep doing this to myself over and over again.
So with that being said, I fucking quit pixel art. Altogether but not quite.
I'm taking a break from pixel art and that means PIX3L_NATION gots to go as well since I'm the last man standing. Both me and the group is gonna be on break. I am tired of trying to handle PIX3L_NATION alone and
November 2015 Update
PIX3L_NATION on hiatus.
Back from the dead again with some slightly depressing news. Over the past few months, my art group, PIX3L_NATION had been expanded greatly since it's formation for the last 2 years. Unfortunately, I felt that that the progress and changes that were made were too fast and too vast for the group to handle, it had faded out like a lit matchstick. Main contributions to this situation was very bad decisions made mid-2015 that led to our co-founder's departure. In result, the rest of the members followed. All members had parted ways mutually. I won't go into individual details with the member's departure.
Personally, I ha
July 2015 Update
Yet again, I forgot to write a monthly update. At least every time I forget, I'll have more to write about in the next one. It's almost August to be even writing an entry for July. There is a high chance I might not writing an entry for next month. I don't have any particular reason as to why I keep on forgetting to write up a monthly update apart from not being tentative to DeviantART.
So yeah, in case anyone didn't know about it, I have my very own website now. Well...my pixel art guild, PIX3L_NATION does. The site serves more of an online store for us right now. Primarily, we're only selling t-shirts on the website store. Other merch will
May 2015 Update
Yet another busy month!
This month, we are proud to announce that PIX3L_NATION will be joining Beautiful Junk 2015 on their last ride. What makes it even more special this year is that the exhibition will be a first in Malaysia to have a 3D anaglyph art exhibition. In conjunction with Beautiful Junk, Behance Portfolio Review Penang will also be returning as well. By the time you are reading this, you probably would have missed it already.
However, the exhibition is still on-going until June 7th, at 179 The House (right next to China House) on Victoria Street, Penang. Anaglyph glasses will be provided. So if you are in Penang or coming down t
