Eraser Stamp Carving

Yay! finally I made my first eraser stamp, it’s so popular these days. Unfortunately in my country there’s not much tools available specially made for rubber/eraser carving. There’s no carving block nor the carving tools, well.. we have carving tools but there’s no size 1 for detail like the speedball or staedler has.

Luckily my friend gave me this vintage carving tool that has small size although it’s not size one, and I think it’s intended for a different media like wood. But there’s a say here in my country “tak ada rotan, akar pun jadi” literally means “there’s no rattan, then root it is” which meaaans we could use everything available that we have to make it happen.. So I make it happens.

Here’s some of the stamps that I made

I'm addicted now, and purchased online for a carving block so I could make a bigger design. I learned many things these past few days and I will share it on my blog.. So stay tune

Es Oyen Logo

I made this logo for a friend of mine. She opens a drink bar that serve a refreshing drink called es oyen. Its very yummy! Ill get you the photo of it when I ask my friend for a free sample :wink

So the story behind the logo is she wants the logo to have her face on it, so I made a chibi version of her and Culak is her nickname from her friends. Culak or cula is a rhinos horn haha hilarious! because she like to strike at people with her words :D

Dont you love it when your work has a beautiful or funny story behind it? I sure do.

Lady In Veil Sketch

Hi guyz! just wanna share a sketch that I did years ago when i was still in the art academy, It's actually an illustration from a pc hidden game that I played ( I forgot the name). The game filled with beautiful illustration, and a painting of a lady in veil catch my eyes



 

This is my sketch version of the painting.. I was still learning to do sketches back then, so when I saw the painting, I just have to sketch it, It's good for practise.. Maybe I'll do some sketching again one day.. :)

Progress of Deni in Action

Continue on the Bandoso cover album artwork. It's almost finish! Hosh.. You could see why Deni so excited, because after the first WIP I posted (you could see the part one in here) a sudden black out happen and wiped out all his work, although he already saved it.

5 days of work gone! if you could imagine how his face looks after he knows his work had all gone, its like this 

So after he got a hold of himself, he start working again.. and it's almost done, just a little this and that. Then I'll show you what it looks like and the story of it.



So the theme looks like it's heaven meets hell here. Let's just ask the designer after it finished and I'll update sometime later. Cherio for now

Deni in Action

[caption id="attachment_40" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Working on BANDOSO cover album[/caption]

Deni is working on an art cover album for our local black metal band called BANDOSO. so the concept for the cover album is very dark and gothic (it's a demon and an angel if you squinting your eyes try to see what is that image he is drawing)..

Did I mention before that we are from Indonesia, on a city called Yogyakarta its located on the Javanese island. So this band are from Javanese island too although from different city, so they like too add a bit javanese culture on their work as well as on their cover album and merchandise design.

Maybe I will just update this post when the cover's done then I could show you that bit of Javanese culture and what it is.
