We sell cookies, you pay with smile :)

My friend, Fajar Abadi, was making art performance and exhibition

after that in National Gallery Indonesia. The performance are how to

making strangers smile. He baked muffin and sell it in public and

everyone who want it can have it by paying with smile, only smile.

The performance called "KUEHSENYUM" it means smile cookies. He really

done well with the concept and results. This is the video about it.

I'm on it too, helping him like everyone else, because this is really

fun :)

Blue Water Adventure

Kids Room, what do you imagine about this? I say bright colors, fun decorative, and of course adventure. Kids like adventure, even if it's only occur in their head. So when I have to make interior design for kids study room, I choose "Adventure" to be the theme.

And here we go, Blue Water Adventure study room. With extra light from skylight, ship diorama, starry lighting, and blue colors everywhere makes the room look like a scene from marine movies. 

If I still a kid, I'll love this room for study. But honestly, even now I'm not a kid anymore, I still love it to be my study room ;p

Parang Batik Shirt

Books Illustration, now ON

Hi, how are you bloggers? It's Raining Season now in my place. Make me cold for a week and my feet always feel wet. But I like the morning after heavy rain.

Recently I have news that a book has released! It's the book with my illustration on it, "Hikayat Pemanen Kentang" by Mugya Syahreza Santosa. Cover design made by the publisher, but hey, it's my illustration there... I'm so happy :)

Collaboration Illustration

Few days earlier, I have an Illustration projects and I think I really love the job. It's a really creative job and make me happy to do it again.

Between my interior projects I often do some drawing about fictional characters.  My friend, Helga Swadharma, ask me to collaborate with her. I take her offer without a doubt. We decided to make some graphic art illustration, I make character sketch in BW and she add color and finishing touch. She done it very well, thanks to her and her amazing skill, now I can see my fictional character built in some great aura. 

Here is Helga's Deviant Art profile, check it out to see another great artwork by her : Helga Swadharma, gagakun

Secret Bed Behind Curtain

I'm writing about secret room design nowadays, my soon-published book "25 Desain Ruang Rahasia" will be on bookstore about one to three months after this, it's talking about how to design secret room, etc. 


I do believe that secret room don't have to be appear as a 'room', but it can be a private isolated space. 


Secret space can be made from partition or some border whether massive or see-through. Secret area like this don't have to be bordered by massif wall, but only by differences in the material applied to the elements of space (floor, wall, ceiling). 

One of the border that can be applied uniquely as the entrance is a curtain. The curtain can be used as a camouflage that makes people think that there's wall and window behind it. Secret room can be made by utilizing the image of this stereotype. Rarely do people will think there is a secret room behind a curtain.


Here are the images from my design:
