"A Very Very Important Person"

What is imagined if we talk about very important people, celebrities and other famous people? They fear of the paparazzi? Their bodyguards? Red carpet? This cartoon I made based on these ideas.

Apa yang terbayang kalau kita bicara tentang orang yang sangat penting, selebritis dan orang terkenal lainnya? Mereka takut paparazzi? Tentang pengawal mereka? Karpet merah? Kartun ini saya buat berdasarkan ide-ide ini.

Drawing Portrait: Roberts De Niro

I confess I was a big fan of Robert De Niro. I've always wanted to draw his portrait. For me, De Niro is a very talented actor and he has "that character".

These are his quotes:

"I don't like to watch my own movies - I fall asleep in my own movies."

There is a certain combination of anarchy and discipline in the way I work."

"You learned the two greatest thing in life, never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut."

Saya akui saya adalah penggemar berat Robert De Niro. Saya selalu ingin menggambar potretnya. Bagi saya, De Niro adalah aktor yang sangat berbakat dan dia memiliki "karakter".
Ini adalah kutipan nya:
"Aku tidak suka menonton film saya sendiri - aku jatuh tertidur di film-film saya sendiri."
Ada kombinasi antara anarki dan disiplin dalam cara saya bekerja. "
"Anda belajar hal kedua terbesar dalam hidup, jangan pernah mengganggu teman-teman Anda, dan selalulah tutup mulut."

How Many Astronauts?

Ada Berapa Astronot? How many Astronauts?
I've made this hand-painted furniture (drawer) in 1999.
In that years I've made a lots of furniture with cartoonal images I painted on it. I called this product as "Tangan Jahil" (hyperactive hand that always paint and draw everything and everytime). Small tables, small cabinets, stools, dinner chairs, etc. These cartoonal furniture I've proposed for Festival Kesenian Yogyakarta Art Market in1999. Most of all were sold out. I've had several fans, too. And many followers... (I don't mean that I'm an inventor, there are many great hand-painted artist before me, I mean followers in Festival Kesenian Yogyakarta, in FKY 2000 event). But since I've stopped to made these furniture, finally, I only have this drawer as a souvenir. As a rememberance. I'll never sell this.
