"In 1994, a few years after graduating from Edinburgh Art College with a degree in Drawing and Painting, I left Scotland for a new adventure in Hong Kong. I was struck by the sheer intensity of colours and design-style of all things Chinese, be that packaging, religious symbols, signs, labels or type. For three years, I received commissions from Hong Kong's major magazines and advertisers, but was frustrated by the limitations of the style I had created. My dream was realised when I won a place to study for a Masters at London's Royal College of Art. It was here that I discovered I could combine my drawing skills with the digital medium. This provided me with the tools I needed to realise my graphic visions. Gaining confidence in my new-found style, I returned to my Asian flavoured 'paintings' with gusto, this time bringing on board more elaborate and obscure sources, inspired by toys, communist-era propaganda, the Fifties, the Forties, sweets and packaging. In 2005, I returned to Asia for inspiration. This time moving to the romantic and inspirational former French Concession in Shanghai for a year-long sourcing adventure. I have now returned to my childhood roots of living by the sea, and now live in the beautiful English seaside city of Brighton."

I am a korean aquarius vata-dosha rat who grew up in Queens and currently reside in Brooklyn, NY. I work for an amazing artist and am a freelance arts writer. I spend my free time obsessing about my lack of free time. I collect, consume, archive, and inventory my experiences, hence the start of this blog as an outlet. I write, read, draw, cook, craft, walk my dog, ride my bike, recite mantras during a storm, daydream, jog, dance, meditate, perform sun salutations, and sunbathe when possible.

Read some familiar names here. Very interesting list, and maybe you will find some surprises as well!

This is my top 100 list paying tribute to the kings, legends, heroes and lords of DeviantArt. If you know of a deserving artist not on the list don't worry, I plan on expanding to 200 artists in the near future.

Certainly not every deviant has more than 445,000 visitors (or ever will), but this can only be tranlated as a mere fact that Mr. Jasiniski has something special in his works (as the left image called "The Drummer") that reminds you of songs like "Can't Takes My Eyes off of You." It's quite a long journey if you wanna take a trip through his visual gallery, but it's never tiring but pleasing and refreshing. From simple composition to crowds of cartoon characters, from deadly facial expressions to barely possible combo of colors, his aesthetic power never stops but always explodes in each work. My instinct let me bookmark his page immediately and jot down those words, as for my nature, it tells me uniqueness can't happen unless you run into it at times.

This is the place you get to see some of my favorite fonts! :P Abstract fonts is really quite an amazing place to download quality and free fonts, Enjoy!

I like Opulent a lot - it's like a super-fancy Optima. Who could resist the charms of Creampuff-Regular?

I'm no expert of typography, but I do appreciate the variety of fonts -- which could be very upsetting as well when it comes to designing, at least for me. Creampuff is simply one of my favorites, somehow it makes me smile every time I look at it! ;)

       I'm upgrading my PC (by purchaing a NEW one - ouch!!) and my GIMP as well. The new, stable version for Windows is 2.4.2, with a prettier GUI. If English isn't your mother language and you prefer reading English like me, they have a solution for you on GIMP Talk. Go to C:\\Program Files\\GIMP-2.0\\lib\\locale and remove all the folders that do not start with en_ and then your GIMP will be ready to take off!

My focus today is on brilliant hues, those colors that zing with intensity, adding energy and style to a space. These intense colors can have a big impact in a room so if you aren't feeling brave and bold, use them as accent colors in decorative accessories or lighting fixtures.

I love stumbing upon something beyond my expectation. Today I checked out my account on terminus1525.ca, found a name listed under Recent Visitors, and I can't help but clicked on the link. That's when I was drawn to the abyss of imagination of Jean-Félix. This artist created something that is soft, solid, organic, futurist and dynamic. The way he plays with composition and colors are really incredible for a guy who is only 26. Do pay attention to his details - that's how you feel the power of his ART.

Yeah I am just flooding you guys with my bookmarked artist I've been sitting on a lot of stuff. They are all good. Here we have some crazy awesome sculpture.

talking about the beauty of enormous scale... ;)

If you've been a reader of JungleJar for any length of time now, or you tend to stop by just to check on our Wordpress Templates, then you most likely know that minimalism is my thing. I love the classy, elegant and aesthetically dramatic feeling a clean and relatively 'simple' design can articulate with as little text / graphics as possible. However, don't mistake minimalism design for something that is easily done..
