For Sale!

I am selling these in my Littleshop. Do visit the shop if you are interested.

My intention is to exhibit these but I am not going to lie to you; I am currently so broke, hence the reason why I’m selling.

Both are Acrylic on Canvas, with the size of 12″ x 12″.

Went to ITNM to pick up proofs for a book that I am typesetting as well as another new job. I was a bit early so had to wait by the reception area. This plant is straight in front from where I sat. Took out my sketchbook and draw it. The coloring was quickly done later when I reached home.

15 pages more.

Moleskine vs PaperLuxe

I went sketch-book shopping yesterday at Kinokuniya KLCC. I was planning to go straight up the stairs to Page One looking for my favourite Moleskine sketch book but then I got stuck browsing the stationery area looking for options. I found one good sketch book by PaperLuxe (Model: Etcetra). It has cloth-bound cover with acid-free cream watercolor paper. What makes it more interesting is that the price is more than 50% cheaper than Moleskine! Moleskine sketch book ( 9 cm x 14cm) is selling at Rm89 while PaperLuxe (14.85cm x 21cm – A5) is RM43.80. I bought Paperluxe but felt guilty as if I betrayed Moleskine so I did went up to Page One looking for my favourite tempera sketch book as well as the watercolor journal but they are out of stock. Will go and find them at CZipLee, Bangsar.

: Paperluxe Etcetra A5 Cloth Bound Cover with Perfect Bound Interior

I often have been asked where do I get my supply of sketch book in Kuala Lumpur and for those who are interested, below is the list:

Moleskine

The Borders, Berjaya Time Square, KL (or Damansara Branch)
The Tango Mango Gift Shop, 163 First Floor, The Curve Mutiara Damansara
CzipLee, 39 & 41 Jalan Telawi 3, Bangsar Baru, 59100 Kuala Lumpur
Page One @ Kinokuniya, Level 4, Suria KLCC

As for Paperluxe sketch books, you can get them from Kinokuniya, Level 4, Suria KLCC and if I’m not mistaken, all MPH outlets. Not sure about Popular Bookstore. Will call them and update about this.

: My collection of sketch books: bottom two – sketchbooks by Grandluxe, middle two – Moleskine, top three – my own handmade A6 hand-bound sketch books. I have more of the top given to Yassin. Sold some during KL Book Fair back in 2007.

I will blog about quality watercolor/acrylic pads and where to get them some other times.

Oh, do you want to peek inside my Moleskine tempera sketch book completed in 2008?

This one is the challenge by Anny to draw a self-portrait. Of course, I had to draw a slimmer face ^__^

Moleskine: Lil’ Bear

Remember the little teddies I gave away not so long ago? Here’s one:

I think Bain and Luqman got the brown ones.

My moleskine now has 18 pages left to draw. Yay.

Moleskine: Matahari flower

emilayusof — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:50:22 +0000

Unlisted One suggested that I draw sunflower so I took the challenge. My Moleskine now has 19 pages to draw.

Moleskine: Betta Splendens

emilayusof — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 06:22:08 +0000

Jiji suggested that I draw Betta Splendens or better known as Ikan Laga. So, I took the challenge and drew it.

I tried to draw my own kaki tapi tak jadi ;P

My moleskine now has only 20 pages left to draw. My challenge is to complete the whole sketch book by end of this year before I buy a new moleskine.

Any suggestion for me what to draw next? Let me know! Thanks heap!
