I've just decided that this blog: Vernal Melody, will solely be used to house my graphic art/designs/drawings/etc. and crafts. All of my rantings about life/entertainment from now on shall reside in a new blog I just created: Uni-Q Bean. Head on there if you're interested :). I know, I know I must have bored some people to tears with all the silly philosophical talks amidst my artworks. Now, you're free of all the dramas if you are not interested XD.

Food for the soul
Another old photo, recently edited :D. Not the best compositionally, though it's something new I rarely try, so...
(Click for bigger view)
Just tried out manipulating a little photo of mine. Supposedly a self-portrait as you can see. With this one I really had a hard time putting in text or typography. Perhaps, it's just meant to be purely self-portrait with no additional fancy meaningless text. I like it this way, exaggerated in a good way. Currently, my soul is feeling very unsettling and stormy, but I've learned to take things easy. With that said, the best thing I could have ever learned recently is this rediscovery of God and his love for me, as well as my role here. It's a little abstract to explain right now. Hopefully as time goes, I can follow this new calling...

Embrace
Again, these are old photos from last year, except for the 3rd one: I didn't take it, only edited it for a friend. Please click for bigger views :). I'm learning more and more, and it's so fun!! Can't wait to take more pictures ^^v.

Feel of Spring!
So spring is finally here so I guess it's about time to start taking some more photos again :).
These are just some old pics I took last summer, but didn't have the time to edit them yet.
Really, editing can make a difference (I have a before and after pic below for comparison).
I'm only an amateur photographer, thankfully there's Photoshop. You can click for bigger view, and please do because the bigger pictures are better :D.

Toy Camera - VistaQuest 1015 Entry, hm...
My brother recently got me a toy camera from Japan called VQ 1015 Entry (thanks so much bro!!) which is a little bit smaller than a credit card, but much thicker of course. And here I'm just testing it out. Not the best because I haven't done much outside shots when the weather is favorable yet, but since it's getting nicer lately I believe either this weekend or the next I might have some new batches. So far, I don't dislike it... I mean, it's just a point-and-shoot toy camera, therefore I'm not expecting much out of it. The hype for this little camera though is that despite its small size and price, it can do a lot. So far, what I have seen is that it can do really well is that its whites always seem to glow, very interesting. And the colors can become quite saturated. However, the viewfinder is totally useless, so I've learned to do without it. Therefore, the images always come out really unexpectedly. That also is the fun of it, as I never know how the shots will look like until I load them into my computer, haha. We'll have to wait and see... hm...
This is what the camera looks like. I have the black one:

Too many scattered thoughts...
I'd like to introduce some sneak-peeks into the scheduler I was making.
Today I am posting all the illustrations I made (with photo preferences).

Ooh la la ^^, busy busy again :)
Woah long time no post but again, I've been so busy that I almost forgot about this blog. I just finished my finals last week and already am working seasonal at a bookstore company full-time. The job is pretty demanding and I found myself so overwhelming and frustrating but I'm trying my best to finish off my work at the end of the day but I still have to rely on others to get me through... Oh well but I will elaborate later on what I'm up to at another time.
I also am keeping myself busy making hand-made gifts for friends... Too bad I can't find much time to do these like I did last year. However, I am coming up with some images for a simple calendar/scheduler :D. I'm really really proud of them ^^. Here's a few thumbnails of what I've been working on, I have more but these are just samples until I print them off and bind them together.
