Self Portrait. (Contextual Studies)

9:31 PM Adrian.C 0 Comments

Hello readers, I know that I have abandoned my blog for centuries but now I AM BACK IN BUSINESS ! Well second semester had started about 4 weeks ago and I am supposed to blog about my assignments and stuff and YES I delayed to blog because I have no MOOD. Sorry Mr.Charles ! But I must start blogging whether I have or don't have the mood to blog because this is part of the assessment. Okay. So the first assignment that we are given is about 'Self Portrait'. Well I've done a lil bit of research here and there from the internet and what I have understand from the word 'Self Portrait' is a way to express and portray yourself in front of others. The artist that i researched about is Jackson Pollock. Well, Pollock's artwork mesmerized me a lot because the dripping method painting is so unique and personalize. Pollock has his style of painting as he said this before : "My drawings doesn't come from the easel. I prefer to tack the unstretched canvas to the hard wall or the floor." which created such master piece by just using forces of gravity. I cant tell that doing such thing that Pollock did aint easy. And another thing that I like about Pollock's artwork is that a piece of dripping master piece can be sold for like thousands or millions? Damn envy oh ! If you dont know who is Jackson Pollock, fear not because I am here to the rescue ! Lolwtf. Here's a lil research about Pollock.

Jackson Pollock himself.

And here are a few artwork by himself.



And I've even found a few picture that inspired someone to create self portrait Pollock's way.







 And also, I found out this cool website where you can create your very own dripping art. Do visit JacksonPollock.org for fun stuff ! Here is my master piece. Well, sort of a master piece. Lolol.



Okay. I know both of it is quite similar but it's really fun to do this ! haaahah ! Give it a try people !

And now back to my self portrait. Well as you all know that I have mad love for Lady Gaga. And yes, I use Lady Gaga as my guidance for my self portrait assignment. Since Lady Gaga started off her music industry, I have noticed that every music video of her have a message and she portray herself differently in every video. I have a few pictures for you guys to see as an example.

These are pictures from the video "Born This Way" and "Marry the Night".



Well pictures from "Born This Way", Lady Gaga try to portray the Manifesto of Mother Monster which can be seen clearly.



And in the video "Marry The Night", she tried to portray herself as a professional dancer and a ballerina. Therefore, I have decided to portray myself as the picture shown below.



Well here's my self portrait.Okay. I know that if Nicholas see this, he'll definitely think of "Illuminati". And if you are curious about what is Illuminati, google it out. It's quite interesting. Back to topic. I portray myself this way is because YES, I love Lady Gaga and the triangles are inspired by her from the Born This Way video. I uses triangle because to me,triangle symbolize dominance and power. In the design industry, you gotta be at the top of the pyramid to get rich and dirty. LOL Just kidding. You gotta be at the top so that others will know about you and you will become famous. Who doesn't wanna be famous and rich? As for the arrow on my forehead, it symbolize that we should never get too carried away by the fame and money because you need to pay off hell lots of consequences. Therefore, we gotta be down to earth and be humble in every way. And the red eyes are just effects that I personally like. Hahahaahaha  wtf. Well that's all I can describe myself here. Oh yea, one more thing to add on. I portray myself in black and white because everyone has their own dark and bright side. I wanna tell those people who bit*ch about me will face my darkest side. So, BEWARE. Hahahaahahaha. That's all for this post. It's so freakin longggg !

Strong faith, strong soul.

Many people do blog, but not everyone blog with inspirations. For this blog post, I am going to blog about a guy named Victor, who is a born Indonesian Chinese and currently studying in Mass Communication at Taylor's Lakeside Campus. He gave me inspirations about life and so I've decided to blog about it.

Victor is a homosexual guy and yet, he is proud to be who he truly is. He gave me inspirations to blog about being who you is and not to what the society thinks who you need to be ! Being gay is not wrong. Why does some people out there can look down on gay people? I am not trying to ask all the human being on earth to turn gay and lesbian. I am just curious why does society thinks that being gay is a guilt? Although I, myself is not gay, but I don't look down on other people being gay or lesbian. I dont look down or tease them because they did not choose to be gay or lesbian. They are born this way. They cant blame God for making them like this. Everything God created has his own reasons. Maybe life will be too boring if God did not create homosexual human beings. To Victor, I know that there is many rumours and teasing out there in the world but please bare in mind that "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" and you are "Born This Way." Be proud of who you really are and be what you want. Don't give a damn fuck to those critics that look down on you because you are worth living on this earth as God's greatest creation. You are no more my idol nor my friend, you are my family, my brother from another mother. We are all relatively families because we are no different. We are living on the same earth and having the same blood color.

Hello peepos ! Well as you all know, I have not been updating my blog lately. Not because I am lazy. It's because I dont have the time to blog since college started off. :( Although college is FUN, but there's a lot of assignment to be done and there are so many classes to attend. The worst part is the 8am class. Urghh ! So recently, we were asked to do a warrior concept outfit for our Creative Thinking Class. Well I've got the idea of my costume already and I am a spearman ! Woot ! :) Pictures will be up soon enough when my costume is done :) For Principles of Design, we are ask to do something 3D and apply what we understand about design into the product we are going to make. So since I love fashion, I am doing 2 dresses for this presentation. Whao ! I can SEW man. Dont play play with me ! LOLLOL So I might be doing fishtail dress *which is so HOT for summer* and apply the understanding of color and shapes into it :) Cool right? Well, I gotta do my sketching now and upload my sketches soon ! By the way, I joined photography class and last Wednesday, we went to an Orchid Park for photography session :) I snap quite a few photos and I am showing you the ones that I love the most.

Hey guys ! I bet you all know what happen on the 28th of April right? Well basically if you dont know what happened, just GOOGLE it out please :) Well I am here to blog about my opinion about "BERSIH 3.0." I saw many people post stuff and pictures and videos of Bersih 3.0 and I did not really bother about it till like 10 minutes ago when I decided to write this post. I saw HORRENDOUS pictures of our PDRM (Polis Di Raja Malaysia) gather around a Media Reporter and whack him up ! I mean, WTF is wrong with you guys(PDRM) ? Don't you realize that you are hurting those innocent citizens? Although there are some people are making chaos through the riot, but PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYE to see the difference between the INNOCENT and GUILTY citizens. There's no need to hurt INNOCENT people ok? And to those citizens who joined the riot to purposely create a chaotic atmosphere, you guys did a bad decision coz you guys make me cant get into KL city center. Which means I cant go shopping -.- Anyway, dear PDRM, please think before taking silly actions by hurting your own country's citizens :)

Media got whack up ! :(

Innocent citizens got teared ! :(

This is seriously NO JOKE !

BERSIH from all around the world :)

It's 9.00pm now and I suddenly feel like blogging and I am going to blog about a lil' something about fashion that I LOVE ! Ever since I was in Form 4, I started to like fashion maybe because of my cousin, SheeYong. She taught me all we have to know about fashion. What to wear and how work the outfit out ! So I started observing every girl's outfit (Not in a pervert way like Vincent Low) when I'm at the shopping malls or even on the streets. Recently, I found out that I love to see girls wearing aztec prints or animal prints and of course, TopShop's newest collection which is the Egyptian inspired prints because it's a HOT digity HOT item that every girl must have in their closet ! So I did a lil research bout it and I Google out a few photos to show em to you guys ! :) Well all these type of prints may make you girls look more slimmer due to the optical illusion that we have. So, if you have read this post, please dress up according to your own style and be more daring to try on something special. Dont wear safe ! :)
