Who is Red?
Red (Hong Yi) is a mixed-media artist known for using unconventional tools to make potraits.

How do I know about Red? 
She was featured in Malaysia Airlines' (MAS) in-flight magazine, ‘Going Places’. The photos of her artwork caught my attention. That was the first time I got to know her name and very impressed with her artwork using the coffee cups.

What do I think about Red?
She has an extremely great talent. I admire her creativity which involves creative ideas, accurate planning and detailed output.
 
Currently, she had a challenge to do an art project using ONE HP Ink Advantage Cartridge, ONE HP printer, and 1500 sheets of A4 paper. And the result is totally AWESOME!!! 

There’s a video on how Red create her masterpiece with 1 HP Ink Cartridge. Watch the video and you will know why I admire her artwork so much.

Don't forget to visit her website at http://www.ohiseered.com/ too!

Illustration Friday- Water

I don't know why I love this drawing so much! A possible reason might be because it reminds me to a scene from my favourite movie, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.

Ten years later, Elizabeth and her son, William Turner III watch the setting sun sink into horizon, and then a flash of green light as the Flying Dutchman reappears, signifying Will's return from the Land of the Dead. 

 Elizabeth Turner and William Turner III await Will's return.

A Mom who has a Facebook Account

Someone updated her facebook status with a photo of her kid who got a small wound on his head. The kid accidentally hit the dining table while playing with his sister. 

From the photo, I could say that during the incident, the mother's first action was to snap a photo of the small wound. Only then, she would find something to treat him.

Mmmm...What do you think?
