lazy afternoon


lazy afternoon

You know one of those days when you feel you just have to shoot something? I settled for some flowers in the field downstairs.

The longer I stared at it in PS, the more it called out to be worked into a faux-ad. The result? Very body shop-ish. I like.

Probably for a fragrance or something.

Colouring Casablanca

Here’s a WIP shot of my latest undertaking: colouring a B&W pic I downloaded off good ol’ Google Images. Here I am almost done with Ingrid’s face… and starting work on Humphrey. I’m gving myself artistic license with eye and hair colour, because, eh… I’m too lazy to look it up.


Humphrey Bogart looks like he has some unfortunate skin disease because I’m in the middle of a skin-tone test.

Should be done in no time. Stay tuned.

When a picture speaks, it says so much… so very much

Tatarah rebooted

After a much-trumpeted launch coupled with an ad blitz a few weeks ago, Tatarah mysteriously went down - their front page replaced by an ugly HTML page informing visitors of “hardware issues”. Some time later, they announced that they would be cancelling all outstanding auctions, refunding the processing fee to all who had bidded.

The date now is 11 Nov 2007 and by midnight, Tatarah will once again resume operations - though with one major change. The much-hyped “unique lowest bid” auction model has now been replaced by a “highest unique bid” one.

What happened, Tatarah? Did you get loopholed into this? Did you not think this through long before your initial launch? Did you lose too much money the first time round? Did you make so much you figure you can make more if you change the model? Did you find yourself on the wrong end of some obscure gaming law? Did you receive nastygrams from certain parties unhappy with your pricing?

Answers, Tatarah, answers. Singapore wants to know.
