Knickknack

The good ol' smiley -- the online emoticon :-) -- has had its 20th birthday by now. How time flies since its debut! The porcelain smiley -- this one is the 1970's insignia -- that I have here, though, is even older; Mike Beck gave it to me after losing it among his mom's ancient trinkets in a NSWian attic; I've been keeping it carefully eversince. The retro manual clock is from S. Teddy D., and the terracotta bear from Adrian Santoso. God bless you, guys. Thanks.

Cats' pix

Pix of my generations of cats since late 1980's. I don't like putting up human pics around the house unless they're fictional (Chad Kroeger is sorta, you know), but I have these good Indonesian export items here so cats got in. Yogya is quite proud of its metalworks -- silver and brass especially; these picture frames are a part of them.

Porcelains

Other silverworks from Yogya, local porcelain dolls, a Siamese metal ashtray, snowglobe of the city of Köln (Germany), and a painted fiberglass sculpture of my late cat Billy Jefferson Hosea on an imaginary crimson throne -- I made this item myself.

Tiny trinkets

Tiny weeny stuff -- the maximum size of individual knickknack in this cabinet is 1.5 inches.

The B&W sketches are supposed to be representations of Sanosuke Sagara & Kenshin Himura.

SANOSUKE SAGARA + KENSHIN HIMURA

Action figures. Left to right: Hajime Saito, Kenshin Himura, 2 kinds of Oda Nobunaga lookalike, and Yagyu Jubei -- the last three are depictions according to the Onimusha Playstation console. Oda and Yagyu were real samurai in 15th and 16th centuries, while Saito and Himura are fictitious characters belonging to the mind of one of the manga artists I love most, Watsuki Nobuhiro.

PEOPLE'S SITES

Homemade wooden boxes and trinkets at one corner; painting them gave me a long frantic tiring break. I got this harmful tendency to make things when there is nothing to kill. My clueless little sister calls it 'business' (click here, she said). Only entities like the Deutsche Bank got the nerve to exhibit this species of trashmanship. Thanks to the merciless JPEG smoothing, you wouldn't know how far worse they really are.

Corner of the front room, or whatever you may call the furnitured eyesore right behind the front door. Against my better half, the worse half which never got any upgrade since Dick Nixon's last campaign put the so-called fine art litter on its walls. All of them were given by the artists themselves, even if against my will. As seen here: paintings and sketches by Bob 'Sick' Yudhita, S. Teddy D., Bunga Jeruk, Dwi Setianto, Antonius Widodo, Hanura Hosea, Feintje Likawati, Putu Sutawijaya, Ugo Untoro, and Tonny Volunteero whom I still cannot forgive for giving me his huge painting.

FINE ART ESSAYS
