  Street art is creative, fun and unique. Although this form of art has been increasingly been adopted for use in advertising, it’s    still remains a label often associated with artists who wish to keep their work unaffiliated and a form of personal expression. There are 3D and 2D street art. 3d Street Art, often known as 3d chalk art is 2-dimensional artwork drawn on the street itself that gives you a 3-dimensional optical illusion from a certain perspective. It can be very breath taking, realistic and at the same time captivating once you get the angle correct. And creating one is certainly through and challenging as you are creating a realistic 3d view out of a 2d painting. 3d street art are gaining much popularity these days. Notable brands are already taking advantage of public’s curiosity on 3D street paintings to create awareness for their products.

MAC Wonderwoman



I created this artwork last year for my individual project last year. My topic was cosmetic. I was inspired by pop art and by the wonderwoman collection of the cosmetics they launched in tangs. I decided to combine the wonderwoman comic strip into a design for a cosmetic product which was the compact powder.

I did this compact powder out of a huge blue board cut into the compact powder shape. Used sponge paper for the details to show the 3d effects. I cut smaller cardboard for the inner part of the compact powder and used aluminum foil to serve as the mirror of the compact powder. I also made the brush out with the wordings of the logo of MAC at the bottom of the brush and the wonderwoman logo on the top.

This photo was captured when I went to Takashimaya Orchard. I found the Peonies in a Parfume Shop. They used the flower's scents as their latest Parfume. I have always been a fan of this flower because I found them very pretty so I took a photo of it and post it on my Instagram Account. I added a filter using Landcam app for iPhone because the photo i took was too yellowish.

Homesick

Based on a work at http://2013tdla02.blogspot.sg.

This work is painted by coffee. It's about the eye that kept a lot of memories and there are tears flown from the eye. If you look thoroughly into the eyeball you will see some photos of our memories. This work tell about our feeling, since we far from our home, our family, and our friends, sometimes we feel 'homesick'. sometimes we miss our routine when we are still in high school and our family who always stay near us.

[One 'fine' day] Rho JaeSeo


Creative Commons License
One 'fine' day by Rho JaeSeo is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. This photo was taken in the year of 2011 in Korea. I was climbing a hill and when I looked back, a fair view of the village captured my mind. The village looks very quiet, peaceful and gloomy and in fact, it really was. It seemed that it was a normal day for the villagers. I emphasised on the word 'fine' because I wanted to tell the viewers that a 'fine day' reminiscents joyfulness for us, but for the villagers here might associate it differently.

Red Sadness

This is Red Sadness that i recently created. I was inspired by the art pieces of Agnes Cecile that i wanted to try it out. Her art is very unique and have her own style to it compared to other paintings. because of he watercolor and as well as line that she used on her art that attracts me so much.

As you can see from this art work, i still got a long way to go to be like her. I need to start creating more pieces like these and improve on it more. i hope that eventually i can be like her, and the way she draw things so confidently.

This work is to let people not often eating fast food as it is not good for their health.

Ebby the Cat

Meet Ebby, the pampered cat that I've met a month ago at my house staircase. He kept following me whenever I go as though he was asking for food. Without hesitation, I packed a fried fish from my house and fed him. I thought he would be gone by then but the next day I went out, he's still out there wandering around. I am sure that he's not someone's cat. He's just a stray cat that I've never seen before in my life. It is thought that cats have been kept as pets for thousands of years. Most people consider themselves cat or dog people depending on the pet they prefer, but many people like both dogs and cats. For me, I prefer cats because cats are one of the more reserved and caring animals. I would bring back Ebby if I could, but I can't due to some reasons. I believed that stray cats need freedom to live, eat and play around. But on he other hand, they need love and affection from humans too.

Wild




This is my artwork for 'art in practice' project in NAFA. This black and white tribal pattern was painted using poster color paint on mahjong paper. I was inspired by youth culture which is wild and free. Their characteristics are bold, expressive and crazy . That is why I painted this tribal pattern to reflect the wild side of youth culture, I used black and white to make it looks strong and contrast. So this is the outcome, looks so wild that is why I named this artwork "Wild".

Anchor of Life


Anchor of Life






I drew this anchor under the sea and colored it with poster color. As we all know that we use anchor to hold ship, so it will not move because of wave. Even anchor smaller than that ship itself but it strong enough to hold that ship. All kind of ship even though a very big ship uses it too.
The anchor represents our conviction and the sea and wave represent other people conviction. Like our life in this world that full of others belief and opinion but we stay still like the anchor, not easily influenced. We should learn from anchor.

The conclusion is in this life we have to be like anchor that not easily influenced by what the world say. 

beauty

This photo was taken with my iphone outside esplanade smoking area . It was a very small flower in the bush and i noticed it so i decided to snap a photo of it. As you can see, there are ashes on the leaves. People threw cigarette butts and ashes on the leaves and flower.
Such trivial things  which we dont see in our daily lives , the little things that are actually all around us. Skyscrapers are uprising which more deforestation are on going. Removing all the greens in the cities. Killing little beauty like that.
In conclusion, people are not noticing small little beauty in our daily lives . When all these beauty are gone, then people will start to realize its all gone.

Acceptance and Faith


Creative Commons License

Jellyfish symbolizes acceptance and faith. Acceptance to just go with the flow wherever the water current takes them to and to being unentangled and keeping faith, accepting their fate and surviving. Jellyfish amazes me by their unique appearance and the way they maneuver freely in the water. 

All in all, i think that humans should learn how to accept reality no matter how bad it turns out to be and hold onto faith as "sometimes things fall apart so that better things can fall together". 

Breeze Me Up

Creative Commons License

I created this fan based on my 3D wire sculpture project. The inspiration comes from the weather nowadays in Singapore. The weather affects the emotions of people. So I think they need a portable fan to calm their emotions down. 

In conclusion, it can be said that this fan is a reflection of my daily life experience in Singapore.

Based on a work at http://f133d0021vaf1031.blogspot.sg/2013/09/ite-final-year-project-store-in-changi.html.

This is a picture of my final year project that I did when I was in ITE using a software call 3D Max. I'm actually doing a boutique. The project is actually to design a boutique at Changi Airport. So I use mainly warm lighting in my design as people just got off the plane and they may be having jet lag so warm light might helps them to feel more relax.

In conclusion, I feel that having 3D Max is a great bonus as people can really see how their design might turn out before they actually start the construction as 3D Max allows people to create a photo-realistic image. It not only allows people to design a boutique, but many other more things like cars, furniture, weapons and etc.

The picture above is a design of a luxury store which I’ve created using 3D max when I was studying in the ITE. In this picture I am showing the Clothes department.  I’ve used a lot of lighting in it, having spotlight shine on the clothes make it stands out more and eye catching to the buyer.


In conclusion, I feel that using 3D max is much easier, fun and we can create a photorealistic rendering.

BEAUTY

Based on a work at http://2013tdla02.blogspot.sg/2013/10/beauty.html.
This is a picture of a strain of metal wire, bent into the word 'beauty'. It is one of the ideas to be use in my AIP project. The characteristic of metal wire is such that, it is the line of 3D. It is more real than pencil lines in the sense that you can touch and feel the line in real space. A property of wires which had help artist Victor Tan to achieve what most would thought impossible. Given his eye condition he couldn't relate to using pencil and paper.

In conclusion, with wires being like pencil strokes, I could send 
a message through a metal wire sculpture. almost literally.
