Irit Listrik Campaign - #1 Plug Out

this is my first week to start an Irit Listrik Campaign - #1 Plug Out

as you may already knew, turning off your unused electronic devices is a cool way to reduce energy consumption. The thing is, plug out their cables are even cooler way to save more energy !

i have already plug out all of my unused cables at home, but i never do that at the office except for big holidays. So here it is, i'm plugging my pc's cables out after used at the end of my working day, everyday.
imagine the saved resources, not to mention, the one we used to waste on weekends !

this is how it looks , my plugged out pc cables

Jakarta and its citizens

as many other capital ever existed, or until now do exist, in this world, is basically a huge melting pot.

Although we probably unlike New York where you can find many nationality, race and such, but we basically are very plural. Not just in our physical appearance, but also in our habit.

that theory applies to this total different habit of waste management. 
I personally hate those who can't keep this city clean. They think that it is normal to throw daily waste and garbage everywhere. Mostly, to the river.
the stupidity level is just so high, i can't picture them with a singe tiny brain.

I know that there are many of us, who actually care about the environment. Not only keeping the house clean, but also the city, its river, its streets, its air (you know, those who rides bicycle to work, and use public transportation vehicle on daily basis -- even though they can afford a car ?), but hey, these men (and women) only, isn't enough to keep this city survive.

there's even more plenty who care nothing about this city.

Not to mention, those buildings (and malls, i hate to have too many malls. seriously, why not library or theater?) that just kept on build, dried out the environment so fast, that it can't any longer support the people.

ergh.

i mean. this heavy flood we're having ?

you can't just blame the rain for sending you so much water ?
they only do what they do for countless zillions of years. We can't change the habit to fit "greater needs" ?
tell the rain to stop,  and when this city is dried out, we'll soon find out who needs what the most.

geez.

for you, white collar people with fancy clothes that is still littering everywhere just because "others do it too", shame to yourself.
A tiny wrapper waste of a candy, could lead a bigger flood than what we're having now. Trust me.

so, my dear fellow citizens,

Let's change.

Now.

Went on a Business Trip

Last week. for a whole week. But although I  brought my sketch book, but I was too lazy to go out of my hotel (believe me, that's not because it was super comfort or anything, it was just because i'm in the middle of some cool online streaming drama ).

The hotel has a gigantic tent as its lobby room. So here's a sketch of it :

the lobby

The hotel was attached to a shopping mall,  I went there and found this little shop selling scary cool stuffs for spell and wizardry. Too bad the tarot reader lady wasn't in. and i didn't bring my sketch book. Argh. a story so plain without sketch !

cheerio.

Rolls Royce (sketch)

yesterday i read this cool articles about toy model cars in collector's weekly . I remember those times when i was in high school (yeah, about 12 years ago !), i fell in love with F1 racing cars. Those amazing speed racers brought me to know about other cars too. Then I bought several cheap toy model cars -- like Audi a4, beetle, and few others. I gave those toys to my baby cousin, btw. A decision i've always regret until now (evil me).

Then i found this article, showing few great pictures of model cars made around the 30's to 70's that I enjoyed so much, I couldn't resist the temptation to have a memory about it.
Considering i don't have any money to buy such luxurious toy -- not to mention it's a rare one, i decided to just make a sketch of it. Although it's definitely in 2D and lack of details, still this sketch made me smile during making, and even after it's finished.

that's a sketch of a Rolls Royce steamauto model by J.P. Hartmann, Paris 1975.

Even from just a picture, the details are unbelievable ! really really love this model ! i don't draw the driver statue, because  i can't.

oh, and the back tire was a mess, but still i'm loving this.

see ya !

in Bali ! (sketch)

Here's the thing,

if there's anything that i love from my job right now, is the chances that  occurred for several times for me to go all around Indonesia *yiey*
I've been to Kalimantan (Borneo Island) for many times, Sumatra for several, Makasar once, Manado once, Surabaya (in Central Eastern Java -- lame geography knowledge) once, and just last week I was in Nusa Dua, Bali --- and it's all for work ! Despite of it was for work instead of holiday, still, those trips are just so fun to do *not to mention free travel and accommodation*

So, the conference I attended was quite big, held in a pretty big conference hall too. Inside its huge interior, they put this giant statue made from coins (you know, ones that shaped like old coins, with hole in the middle ?), and i tried to make a sketch of it, of course, i failed. aahahahhah i didn't use my glasses, and there were too many people -- i can't stand the noises. This just means i need to do quick sketch more often.

*haven't made any research about her*

that's a picture of one of this gigantic statue. She wasn't supposed to lean on her side like that, it's just me with my fully wrong technique. ahahhahah.

the conference itself was pretty busy, i didn't get the chance to draw often. Lucky we were invited for a dinner in Garuda Wisnu Kencana  .

Pity, it was a dinner. At Night. I can't see clearly. Plus - again , many excuses - there were artificial lights shooting extravagantly confusing here and there for the sake of performances held there.

so here's my night interpretation of Garuda :

*meant to be* Garuda

Although he's pretty cool, imho, but still, this isn't the right him.

and here's Wishnu who was supposed to ride on Garuda's back.

a view of Wishnu from the dinner venue

They were currently separated, due to the postponed project until nobody knows when. *sigh* He looks ugly in here *deep sigh* , go check the wikipedia link I provide before, to know how does he look like.

until next trip ! *or sketch*

Ghost Towns of Montana (sketch)

i've never been to Montana before, but the stories i've read of all the ghost towns there, abandoned after the gold rush era, just keep making me promise to myself, one day, i'll visit one of it. *amen*

I always picture Scrooge McDuck everytime I read something about Gold Rush. And that's including this ghost towns of Montana. I can see McDuck in his younger days, walk around one of these abandoned streets, carrying his tool alone -- ignoring all the people who mocking him for his ambitions.

*sigh*

I drew this from one of the image i found on web. I'm not sure which town, and I can't read my own writing there.

but anyway, here it is :

Montana

Montana have their official travel site, mentioning about ghost town here. and i guess this building here is the same as that one picture on that site.
Was it a school ? should there be children playing on the field beside it and hide and seek on hills behind it ?

i don't know, ahahahah.. but anyhow, have a good day to you !

Aqua - Duck

no relation with the real aqueduct.

my company is about to make a Duck Farming training program in West Java, as part of our CSR progam. And as usual, i'm part of the team (consisting of only two), who's in charge to make themed t shirt.

i'm not in the mood for corel, so i decided - selfishly - that i'll draw the duck, the other guy who'll deal with corel and stuffs. *evil smirk*

so here's the duck !

the duck of the aqua-duck

 

 

saying bye !
