Pizza é Birra @ Plaza Indonesia 5th Floor














Liquid Chalk. Chalkboard on panel 60cm x 60cm x 500cm

Once in a blue moon my ol' buddy Ridwan Susena and I bump into each other and usually all we do were talk and joke around on everything in general, starting from old habits, old friends, music, art, etc.

Last week I was at my parents house for a holiday and suddenly I got this call from him early in the morning. I was asked to do some mural for a project from his office (Ismaya Group). I was so excited 'cuz they were using new media, it was so challenging so I called up several of my friends and I ended up collaborating with Adi Syoukat again.



The project was so fun and full of laughter and we get to meet new people, nice and warm ones and the most memorable moment was we get to eat up everything, I mean literally everything and anything we want. Starting from appetizers, endless main courses, untouchable desserts ('cuz we were already full from tons of pizzas and pastas). From what I've heard, Syoukat loves to eat (he has this big tummy for food) but that day food was an enemy to him... he has lost his big appetite on food cuz he had too much... Hahahha! Lol!




Well, I hope you guys enjoy the drawing as much as we enjoy making it.

I added a new collection on my "Entertainer Tribute". Can you feel the love? This is what happen when you listen too much of Friendly Fire's "Skeleton Boy".

This is what happen when you're sleeping late and waking up to a song like "Talons" by the Bloc Party. I get jinxed by it, specially after I watched the music video.

"A Weekend In The City" was very inspiring but "Intimacy" is very tempting and exciting, big thumbs up to those genius.

City Ruin - Mixed media on paper, sz: A3

This is the series of collaboration with Pee Wee Gaskins (I'm still working on a few more), one of the most wanted and rising band in Jakarta. These kids have the biggest fan base and the fullest show schedule I've ever seen.
Kudos to these kids.

Recently Harry "Eye" Mahardika (the bassist player) has experienced the worst thing that anyone could have. His beloved mother passed away and by a month after that The Cold Hands of God has taken his father too. These sudden events reflect to my own personal life. I hope God has a bigger plan on this.

For sure his parents will be in a better life.
I send my deepest condolences.

The death of Mbah Surip shocked me, because he was such a phenomenon artist. He was a brave, sincere, and idealist legend and I looked up to his honesty. He showed everyone how to entertain and not afraid of being different, a true Maestro.

I hope he has a heart in us all and we could share the same love like he used to share.

We love you full, mbah...R.I.P.
