Shanghai Welcomes

May 5, 2016 By Shermaine Leave a Comment

What do you do when you have an hour to burn before some of your favourite people touchdown in Shanghai? #myhandsneedmorespeed #drawingliketheflash I always heard that according to psychologists, if your friendship lasts past 7 years, it will last forever. I just tried to find scientific proof of this online and in all honesty, the most credible source for this was either Pinterest or . . .

A Prince-Worthy Tribute

May 5, 2016 By Shermaine Leave a Comment

On April 21, 2016, people around the world mourned the loss of the much-loved American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, and actor – Prince. There were tributes made, live music played, and even some public grieving amongst fans of the legendary musician who has released 40 studio albums to date. That is quite the achievement in one's life. “I’d never seen anything like . . .

A New Discovery – HITRECORD

April 3, 2016 By Shermaine Leave a Comment

I've discovered a new obsession: HITRECORD. Basically, it's an open-collaborative production company established by Joseph Gordon-Levitt - this innovative community includes over 100,000 artists of all disciplines (writers, filmmakers, musicians, etc.) adding 250 new members and 2,500+ new pieces of art every day. I have yet to explore it more but my two favourite parts about HITRECORD is . . .

Before & After

March 27, 2016 By Shermaine Leave a Comment

It's easy to see amazing work done by others and brush it off saying that they've always been talented in some way or another. That it's not possible to be as good as they are. Drawing and illustration take a whole lot of hard work. I'm learning that now. After seeing the before and afters of these illustrations really shows you the importance of practice.    Pick up your pen and start . . .

Love From Me to You

February 14, 2016 By Shermaine Leave a Comment

Happy Valentine's Day! Despite being in a nearly 9-year relationship (say whaat), I've never really been one to celebrate Valentine's Day. I'm not one for roses, romance and heart balloon arches, and I don't see a need to celebrate my special day with the rest of the world. However, what Valentine's Day is wonderful for is that it gives you an occassion to tell the people closest to you . . .

Mystery Boxes & Hand-Drawn Names

February 14, 2016 By Shermaine Leave a Comment

When you say "sustainability", normally one of these three things pop to mind: Buzzword. A word thrown around without any real backing, just to be a part of the "green trend". Tree Hugger. We've all come across these people. The hippies that no one can really relate to. Guilt/Deflection. The problem's too big to fix to make a difference. Someone else will do it. As a result of this, it . . .

Bookbinding Craftsmanship

January 30, 2016 By Shermaine Leave a Comment

I have been neglecting this space for a little while now. Would like to blame it on the cold weather which made my hands freeze; -9 degrees that according to the weather forecast felt like -17 degrees. Shanghai has an odd sort of cold - the humid type that leaks into your bones no matter how many layers you're wearing. Evidence: My heater also broke down during the coldest weekend in 35 . . .

Coffee Faces

January 15, 2016 By Shermaine Leave a Comment

Happy Friday! Here's a fun post to celebrate the coming of the weekend. Backbone Branding design studio from Armenia created a coffee cup with some serious personality. They're not only incredibly adorable (and kinda cheeky), they're also customisable allowing the drinker to change the mood of their coffee cup according to how they're feeling that day. Clever? Yes, I think so. Via . . .

Paper Rides

January 5, 2016 By Shermaine Leave a Comment

"Drawing with a knife" - that's what Hong Kong artist Bovee Lee does with much skill and patience. Instead of channeling her feelings about moving cross-country into nervousness or frustration, she created these intricate hand-cut paper rollercoasters. Talk about a good method of diversion... "In these works, I also draw parallels between one’s romantic relationship and our relationship . . .

Happy New Year! May this year be a wonderful one. One where we learn more, create more, love more. Reach goals instead of simply making resolutions. Embrace change, spread kindness, and explore the unknown. I'm excited for the year ahead - enjoy 2016! . . .
