The experience in observing various musician acts on the stage, along with the consumption of fashion images from several magazines makes me pay more attention to stage costumes worn by these musicians. Some of these images are musicians’ costume that is recorded and leave a trace for me. Not much, but it impresses me in some ways.

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO.............../ by dito yuwono
Since I was younger, I was introduced to the concept that human needs each other and well-known as social creature. Yet, understanding that information doesn't make me grow up as a person who easily help the other. I would help as much as I could and as much as I wanted, but as least I would not cause poorer condition of the one who needs help. As time goes by, in the high school, I was introduced to a rather contradicting concept of Homo Homini Lupus (man is wolf to other man). I was confused because there are two different concepts opposing each other in my head. How human could possibly be helping each other and believed as social creature while killing each other in the other side. It is rather difficult to gather those two contradicting belief.
When I review the thought, my mind end up in a word: "interest". It happens that what I didn't know and realize this whole time was the meaning of the word interest. This word becomes the bridge for those two contradicting concept of human relation I mentioned previously. As I once heard, there is neither eternal friend nor eternal enemy, there is only necessity. Interest is the reason why people might help us or kill us. It is interest that could change the "enemy" status become "friend" in a blink, vice versa.
Homo Homini Lupus After a lingering moment of denial phase, I was shocked by an incident where a group of people try to "execute" me while I'm trying to help them at that very same time. I get more and more confused until a friend told me that we are no longer walking at the same path and they have nothing more to do with me. If it was a car road trip, they want to go someplace where I have to get out of the car in the middle of our journey so they could go on driving.

On the second thought, I think it might be important to rethink about my friendship values. Once again, maybe.
Haloo..tell me a bit about yourself Extrovertly weird. Passionate. Loving life. Provocative. What is your hobby/ passion/ work and how do you define that in your life? I love fashion and music for my passion. That is why I run a fashion blog http://domusmederline.blogspot.com/ (myrrh goldframe), to distribute my fashion instinct that sometimes hard to control. hahaha. Aside from that, music is also become a closest part of my life. I am now operating sidestream-band management in Surabaya such as hi mom! , smellstreet , and polka poizei. In my daily life, I work as a broadcaster in a private radio in Surabaya. I love doing all of that. When did you start working on this hobby and why? I become a fashion blogger since the past a year and a half. I was inspired by my favorite fashion bloggers such as Sally Jane Vintage and Gala Gonzales. They both are stunning ladies. It was quite incidental when I decided to make band management; it was because I used to have a community band in Surabaya and a good network so I decided to be a band manager. It is easier but still fun. Being a radio broadcaster is akso very fun because we only work part time but stay update with current condition.

WORLD OF WONDER/
THE PICNIC GIRL
Party, Stylishly.. In my family, we celebrate everything. When I'm old enough, I start to throw my own parties. Of all the party I had, the last one is my favorite. It's an anniversary celebration for my fashion blog. The theme is Indoor Picnic completed with the tree, the flowers, the greenery, tea-and-treats, the delicate room tent, and ladies in floral frocks. The party was intimate and stylish without being overdone. This is how I did it:
huff 20
“SET AN UNUSUAL, QUIRKY, WHIMSICAL, DREAMY THEME AND MAKE SURE IT REFLECTS YOUR PERSONAL STYLE”
huff 21
“CREATE A LITTLE CORNER OF YOUR OWN WORLD USING ROOM TENT, LAMPS, FLOWERS, FLAGS, OR ANY BEAUTIFUL BORDER IMAGINABLE”
“PREPARE DELICIOUS TREATS IN COORDINATED COLOR AND PRETTY PRESENTATION” huff 22

"Once in a lifetime, a man must act. Or else, he'll be nobody." (Pramoedya Ananta Toer)
THE WORLD ACCORDING TO.............../ by.the picnic girl
That quote has been dangling in my head since two years ago, right before I graduate. I was a girl with starry eyes, dare to dream and just done making a blueprint of it. Its right there, ready to be achieved and everyone was believing in me; except for myself. I dare to dream but not dare enough to achieve it. So, I jumped into a wonderland instead: art world. It was right there in front of me and all I have to do is jump into the rabbit hole. So I jumped. It was strangely amazing! Working in a dreamlike place with summer breeze brushing my cheek and afternoon music playing somewhere near. I was in my happiest moment when that quote of Pramoedya flashing in my head once again. I need to do more than that, that's what I keep telling myself. So I made a quick decision and act in a snap: I build my little cafe. That, right there, is another wonderland I created. In my free time from working in the art world, I'll enjoy quality times in my little cafe. Even after I quit the art job, I still have my dreamlike life operating my cafe and attending art and social events at night. When the quote once again haunting me, I start to do new things by making my fashion portfolio: styling, writing, and creating fantasy in my own fashion blog. Once again, I created a wonderland. I love my alter ego and enjoy my life to the fullest: operating a cafe to survive, fashion blog to nurture, and producing an art performance on the way.
huff 26
Somehow, that quote was chasing me even more and even crueler on that moment. My life was at its happiest and fullest but I feel like doing nothing. That's when my fashion blog portfolio paid off: I got a real-life job as a lifestyle writer in a city miles away from my wonderland. This time, I jumped out of the rabbit hole. It's a real world I'm facing in front of me. Away from my dreamlike life, miles away from everyone that I love and a brand new adventure away from home. I feel like crying outloud; this time I hate that change, I hate the city I'm heading, and I feel like Wendy: a girl who must grow up and leave Neverland.I have to shut down my business and leave my art performance project on the way. Losing those two babies breaks my heart a little and I realize that it's not that easy to turn a new page. Looking back, I realize how that quote has been affecting me so strongly. I keep doing something and making new decision in a snap whenever that quote came and haunt me. Change is very very hard but that quote keeps me moving. Life improvement it is. Now that's a real act: leaving the wonderland and grow up, that's what I hear its saying. I know one day I'll be back home,trying to achieve the dream I always dreamt; but this time, I need to be fully awake and work it out.

To me, making character is delightful, nonetheless that I'm still learning. This time I'd like to share my pleasure by featuring several character designs I made, spiced up with a dash of local-culture element. Enjoy and have fun..

According to a friend’s analogy, “If you can’t be number one, you’d better be the last”; that’s also how one thinks and works in design. I always feel more comfortable in adopting and adapting a discourse to be itemized as a wicked visual. It’s not all about designing capability, but more about cooptation, deconstruction; and it’s easier to catch the meaning that meant to contain funny things as the centre of interest.

At the Very Bottom of Everything Director. Paul Agusta. Cast.Kartika Jahja, Bianca Timmerman, T. Rifnu Wikana. Nadia Rachel, Primawan Lukman Hakim, Tejo Aribowo. Year. 2010.Duration 84 Min
"At the Very Bottom of Everything" is a contemplative film about a girl fighting Bipolar Disorder and trying her best not to kill herself. Bipolar Disorder (also known as Manic Depression) is a mental disease where one of five casualties ends up in suicide. This battle is portrayed in ten fragments consist of various art forms such as performing art, musical ambiences, stop motion pictures, visual works, craft, and diorama. The film started with a woman sitting in her colorful room, accompanied by non-stop smoke of her cigarette, while she starts to talk about her disease in profound metaphoric words. The image of this young lady herself is disturbing, exposed is several version of her in one scene: sitting, walking, thinking, moving forwards and backwards in that intense colored room. After each fragment, her story will be told in theatrical performance of bare-naked man, woman, rats, dolls in flame, stop motion pictures, diorama, and bloods. Most of the fragments show hellish depth, tortured intense feeling, and the emotional battle she's facing. The visual interpretation of her disturbed mind is traumatic and surrealistic. This second film by Paul Agusta is based on his personal experience and played by the leading lady Kartika Jahja who is also a manic-depressive. To their world, there are only night and day without dawn and twilight. They will be either very depressed or euphorically happy in a torturing super-intense feeling. The movie honestly captured that feeling and the end is uplifting after the series of depressive images.

Banksy: The Identity Guerilla by.Amalia Faris.images.www.banksy.co.uk
For those who roam the street at night with aerosol can as their mightier-than-sword's pen, anonymity is an unquestionable trait, but never been a graffiti artist as famous for his un-identity-ness as Banksy. Rumored to be born in Bristol in 1974, Banksy arts, mostly graffiti, become famous all over the world; from the picture of a naked man dangling outside the window's edge in a wall above the Bristol Council Sexual Health Clinic until the image of children digging a hole through the controversial Israeli Security Barrier in West Bank. Banksy use every way to bring consciousness, a simple stop-and-stare moment, in dull corners of everyday life. His technique changed from freehand graffiti into implementation of stencils, for the sake of less time—another important trait a graffiti artist needed. His stencil graffiti art style mirrored Blek le Rat; the godfather of graffiti art that has start his guerilla on the street since 1980s. Bristol underground scene as Banksy main influence also becomes a signature in his every artwork. The city's strong culture give the same simple dark tone Banksy use that people too can find in the music of Massive Attack. Unlike most graffiti artists, Banksy message are loud, clear, and almost always with a tongue-in-cheek humors. Girl hugging atom bombs and helicopter with sweet pink ribbon as an anti-war cry, a big graffiti 'One Nation under CCTV' right next to—what else—CCTV camera can be read as a protest, sneering over London's reputation as city with most CCTV camera installed in the whole world. Banksy's mocking tone cried as far to the art world itself as in March 2005, when he smuggled his own works into four New York City most prestigious and most well-guarded museums, in a single day, all at opening hours. Some even stayed until several days undetected. “When you go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires.” Banksy once stated in his book.

January 24th, the first Banksy film was being premiered in Sundance Film Festival 2010. Produced, directed, and starred by non other than Banksy himself. ...or so they say. The beginning of documentary film starts with story of Thierry Guetta, a Banksy-obsessed French immigrant in LA documenting the art and life of the street artist. The movie twisted when Banksy decided to switch their role, Banksy filming Thierry—now nicknamed Mr. Brainwash— who become a street artist himself. The documentary then, release gasses of endless theories in the media and the audience of Banksy identity. Some said that Mr. Brainwash is Banksy; others sneered, saying it's just another prank from the Briton artist. In real world, Thierry Guetta career as a street artist goes rocketing to the point where his artwork sold for US$ 200,000. Trying to reveal the truth of Banksy is no difference than trying to catch a fog. The media, the fans, and the police, all have been attempting to reveal his identity. Countless attempts, yet the truth are never 100%. The fog is so thick with speculations until we no longer know who pulled the prank on whom. Perhaps Banksy has fooled the society; or perhaps Banksy really is just a Robin Gunningham The Mail on Sunday long reported, perhaps his cult legend was overrated all this time. But does it really matter now? Banksy guerilla in the art world has shattered the every wall of consciousness. Ironically, Banksy's own fame that stands in the path of his role in the anti-establishment movement. But sparks lead sparks, the only thing that matter is who lit them first. Either way of the story, Banksy still hold the last laugh.
