Beny & Mice : 100 Tokoh yang Mewarnai Jakarta

Kemarin kebetulan lewat toko buku akhirnya beli juga, 100 Tokoh yang Mewarnai Jakarta. Hahahhahah...macem2 isinya ada reserse, anak band, sampe2 pembawa acara kuis tengah malam, hahhahahhaha..sy ketawa sendiri soalnya kadang suka nonton juga kuis tengah malem.

Sebuah refleksi dan terapi satire yang bagus, untuk menjaga diri dari sok pinter, sok akademis, sok sophisticated, dan sifat2 snobbish lainnya agar tetap senantiasa menjejak kaki di bumi...saelah

Untuk liat resensi orang lain bisa di sini

Sebenernya dari dulu semenjak liat strip komik ini di surat kabar sy teringat sama Lat, tah kenapa..mungkin gayanya mirip, tp kalau disuruh memilih semisal di depan sy ada strip Lat dan Beny & Mice, sy pasti pilih Lat, soalnya isinya bukan satire, ngga berat, bikin hati sejuk dan ga bikin stress;)

Lat. this is one of his infamous work, Kampung Boy.
Hmmm..sy juga jd teringat strip Sawung Kampret, koq ga dibikin lagi ya??

Asli Yogya

I have never realised that Design Diary, one pretty cool design blog, is made in Yogya.
Kudos.

Why do arts and designs thrive so well in Yogya, compared with the rest of Indonesia (minus Bali)? Is it in their blood, inherited from centuries of well preserved traditional culture? Or is it in the environment? Is it in their easy going - it´s okay if we don´t get rich as long as we can create - attitudes?

It doesn´t matter. They´re doing great. Everywhere I look on the web for Indo artists I keep stumbling upon artists and designers from Yogyakarta, not from Bali, never from Aceh (poor Acehnese, we must be lacking that creative blood).

On another note, the DesignFlip magazine #4 by Jogyaforce has just been published and available for download. Great e-zine.

Friday Illustration : Steve Morrison

Upon perusing the link perempuan had given (illustration friday), i quickly stumbled with this lovely artist
"A theory: This is where the moon goes after a long night of traversing the heavens. Also, the moon is a cat. That's my theory, and one day Science will prove me right." He said.

His works somehow gives me a warm feeling, find out more through these links : stevemorrisonillustration.blogspot.com, and www.stevemorrisonillustration.com

Friday illos: Mayumi Haryoto

Well pointing out perempuan , i'm going to share some illustrator that i know. Mayumi Haryoto, i like her works, you can find more of them in studio.shika.

Memang banyak koq illustrator indonesia, nanti sy akan cari2 lagi soalnya jarang yg udah ketemu di-bookmark;p..

the background illos it's Mayumi's

Friday Illo: Richard Fang and Ella

Finding an Indonesian illustrator (online) sometimes feels like finding a needle in a haystack. I´m sure there are a lot of talented Indonesian illustrators out there, unfortunately not many are putting their presence (widely) known on the web. Or maybe I have been looking at the wrong places? Kindly enlighten me.

A couple that I like:

Richard Fang. Interesting, quirky illos like the one below:

Richard Fang: wish you were here (2008)

The Enigma. Ella from Bandung draws wonderful, rather whimsical creations. Perfect for children (and adults alike) storybooks. Ella has an already defined style. She consistently participates in the weekly Illustration Friday. Looking forward to see so much more of her illustration. I hope she opens an online store someday to sell her prints and such.

Ella (The Enigma), superhero, for Illustration Friday (2006)

Linky Links: Patterns

Image credit: patternhead.com

Some found links on patterns:
- Squidfingers : nice, clean, seamless patterns.
- Kaliber10k : plenty of pixel patterns.
- Tile machine : make your own or browse the gallery of thousands of patterns.
- Tartan Designer : create your own tartan pattern.
- PatternHead. Many great seamless retro patterns in vector. However, they are not free.

Particles Effects with Gravity

That's it, try to click and hover your cursor above the platform! quite kewel eh;p, sedikit contoh bagaimana sebuah rumus fisika dan matematika diaplikasikan ke dalam flash, and here's the actionscript:

var n:Number = 30;
var d:Number = 150;
var s:Number = .003;
var c:Number;
Mouse.hide();
attractor.mass = 2;
init();
function init():Void {
     for (var i:Number = 0; i  
       var particle:MovieClip = attachMovie("particle", "p"+i, i);
         particle._x = Math.random()*Stage.width;
         particle._y = Math.random()*Stage.height;
         particle.vx = Math.random()*3-2;
         particle.vy = Math.random()*3-2;
         particle._xscale = particle._yscale=20+Math.random()*100;
         particle.mass = particle._xscale/100;
      }
}
function onEnterFrame():Void {
attractor._x = _xmouse;
attractor._y = _ymouse;
for (var i:Number = 0; i var particle:MovieClip = this["p"+i];
particle._x += particle.vx;
particle._y += particle.vy;
............there there i'm not gonna write it down all for you,
pusing!!;p

kalo mau silahkan ubek2 di masputih.com, it belongs to Indonesian of course:) and yes he encoded the script himself
