Stained Glass

   Recently, or can I say this year, I started to have an interest in stained glass. So, I did some research on it during my sembreak. And it make me wanted to go to this particular church in France which is Chartres Cathedral even though I'm not a christian but the artwork on the stained glass and when it shine by the sunlight, it so really beautiful.

   Well, lets talk some stained glass history. Stained glass refers to glass which is coloured and have artwork on it. In olden days, stained glass has been used in church for the windows. and most of it stained with the story of Jesus as people will easily understand through pictures.

Rakan Muda - Jelajah Kampus

  On 20 Ocotber 2016, Taylor's Lakeside Campus had a carnival with Rakan muda. There was a few galleries in different timing but I just get to see two out of four. They also provide a few workshop such as wood workshop, brush lettering, leather making, silk screening and a lot more. It was crowded with people, not only students but also outsiders.

The round one is my favourite. It gave me a mystery, indescribable emotion and feeling.

The whale artwork remind me of "life of pi"

   Kenji Chai, my favourite graffiti artist, is from Sandakan. He studied graphic design at CAA college in Kuala Lumpur. He studied and worked in graphic design field but there was a certain sense of detachment between him and the artwork. In 2008, he discovered graffiti and felt that the sense of self satisfaction in doing graffiti. He had done a lot of graffiti around KL, Penang and Pangkor island. He just to have a name "Black Fryday", it is a combination of his favourite colour and favourite weekday. There's a graffiti drawn by Kenji Chai near the road to terminal bus bandar tasik selatan which is near my house too. He change it every year before Chinese New Year but his signature dog "Chai-go" will always be there.
