Friend of a Wounded Heart was an evangelistic event organized by SJGC’s youth group (aka TRU). Hmmm… honestly… I couldn’t recall much of the event other than lotsa singing, a dance and lotsa youths. hahhaa… I remember Weng Fook being the “Father” in extending his hand in the dance. It was pretty dramatic!
The poster above tells much of it. I recall few memories of it though. One, Desmond gave me a call during my school holidays to inform me that they need the poster 2 or 3 days after the call. Totally shaken and no idea on what to design for the event. I learnt one of the most important thing for a Christian though, that is to pray before doing something and FAITH!. I was flipping and scanning pictures from my stack of “Magic the Gathering” game cards for some inspiration but all seems too “more for painters kind of design”. Made some thought and then finally decided to do something simple that delivers the message… A wounded heart and the hands that heal. Yeap! the hands and heart was drawn (thanks to my sis) and scan for some retouch and coloring to fit into the “frame”. Picturing the “wounded heart” was difficult.. Should it be bloody? perhaps stabbed?
Second thing that I recall is getting it printed. Not able to drive at that time, my friend Chee Keong accompanied me to a printing shop (called SOS Station; they do different types of printing, mostly for commercial and for students but unfortunately it isn’t there anymore). Did we commute there by a cab? hmm… Can’t remember about that but we took a bus back to our house.
Initially, I thought this was my first design…. but nope this is my second artwork… I think… O.o

A friend once shared an opinion about the difference of those who are in a way creative are able to deliver something different and good from those who aren’t. However I would say that everyone is creative in their way, as each of us look at things differently. Picturing an image in one’s head and putting it down on a canvas or paper is the most difficult thing… at least for me. At most time I picture something really “WOW” but unfortunately unable to put it down on a piece of paper… heck.. even describe it.
Creative or not, I still believe it’s the matter of faith of one person has in doing something. If one doesn’t have the faith in doing something, why bother doing it? Is it all because “I need to do it”? Well, if that’s the case, do your best and have faith in the things you do. Cause even if things doesn’t go right, we’ll learn something out and nothing goes to waste.
I tell you the truth, if you have faith and not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig-tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.

How did I get myself involve into computer graphics? It was my interest and curiosity in computer graphics initially… it wasn’t some art class as I know I’m bad at drawing on canvas or paper.
My first masterpiece (besides simple cartoon characters)…
SMK Seafield (the highschool where I’m from) Year 2000 Magazine Front Cover.
Motivation to do this?… Get my masterpiece onto the front cover of school magazine and the First prize of RM100
The design use alot of basic shapes, letters and words and effects. Not much of “drawing” was done here.
