Pencil on paper
2014

It’s been a year since I last produced any artwork and am glad to have loosened up my rusty fingers with my favourite medium, pencil on paper.

This is a drawing of an Indonesian goddess that will hopefully soon be inked onto skin. It’s a personal piece to the owner so please do not share or use without prior permission.

One of those evenings, enveloped by the sunset. And there’s you, emerging from it.

This.

Don’t cry about it

Some days I’m still lovestruck

I could bury my skull into your lungs

Some days I don’t care

And you’re waiting for my eyes

But I’m obsessed and hollow

Trying to find myself in you

Now there’s you and me

Then there’s my shell

I’m a floating balloon to you am I

Nothing and empty are different

Which one am I

Oh Hai Jun Elle~

Hi Fahim! :)

I’d double heart all your photos if I could. You’re one of my favourite photographers <3 Thanks for finding me!

One of the simplest yet most romantic dinners I’ve had. We were so hungry we grabbed sushi and ate at these benches near the car park. Well ok, a typical romantic date to me is getting stuffed and rolling about discussing how good the food was.

Happy Valentine’s Day, dear friends and lovers.

A compilation I made during Epic Tribe’s Belantara Psychedelic Music and Arts festival. I had a great time there. Lots of great people from all over the world and a hell lot of good friends!

We went up the hill to catch this beautiful sunset. In perfect weather too!

Evenings at festivals, snacks on grass, Smashing Pumpkins in Malaysia. Missing this!

Hello all from down under! Feeling blessed, feeling hot, missing the hairy bearded ol’ Ben.

So this is where they’ve been holding their secret meetings. Look at Poopsie trying to find some files in the bush.

“Where the God of the more dogmatic religions divides humanity into warring camps, the God of the mystics is a unifying force.” - Karen Armstrong, Chapter: The God of the Mystics, History of God.

What I feel the author is trying to express in this quote is that many people today have conceptualised God in such a way as to convey personal agendas. While mystics, such as practitioners of Tantric Yoga, Buddhism, Sufism, and Gnostic Christianity portray God as an ambiguous entity that cannot be wholly perceivable. Thus, all paths, in motive and intention to God, is the right path.

Even if you could sum up each human experience of the divine, it will be but a glimpse of God’s eternal beauty.

Nothing like taking a leak in the ocean.

Nothing like feeling the breeze between your legs.

Nothing like flashing the fishes.

Nothing like the wind beneath my wings.

Ben’s super cool ideas for photo captions.
