doodles: tink redbot-one and "arigato" with tinker apps

more doodles with Tinker apps on iPad. i can't stop doodling. if only i can make a living out of it hehehe. "redbot-one" was recent work while "arigato" was done a while back. i have always love the idea of retro-style robot as inspired by early days of western cartoons and Japanese anime. so here's my rendition. "arigato" was done as part of the artwork for...

download: replacement icons for iTunes 10

iTunes 10 has been out for a while now and frankly speaking, i don’t like the new icon to came with iTunes 10, so i came up with my own. this custom icon pays tribute the classic iPod & the iconic ‘click wheel’ (which will likely to be missed in coming future) and ‘X’ representing iTunes 10. i used simple color scheme, running along the line of ‘classical’ mood (but, i don’t wish to use black – which is norm for anything ‘classical’) and the last version is a ‘doodle’ version which i thought looks fun you will notice i don’t anything fancy such as relief to make them feel ’3D’, but hey, that’s why it is called simpleiTUNESicons

go ahead and down it. do comment, alright? check out more downloads on the sidebar too.

imaginary real estate ad*

being quite an organization addict, i love playing with simulation games, not those car or flight simulation but more of 'management' games. posted here is something that struck me while i was playing City Story for iPhone. i thought why not i come up with an imaginary 'real estate' ad (advertisement) for one of the property in the game? so here it is. aside from the in-game screenshots, all other graphic and layout is my work. the logo is up for sale too. contact me for details :)

doodles: anime, sci-fi and expressions

again, here's more of what i love to do (besides photoshopping away) :)

Poddities iPhone 4 accessories

before iPhone, we called our trusty mobile communication device, smartphone and mobile phone (or cell phone, depending where you are from). before iPhone, it is a norm to have a strap looped to our smartphone or mobile phone through the provided tiny little hole. i had one these 'hand strap' on almost all my previous mobile phone, including my last ever windows phone, the samsung i780. ever since iPhone, hand straps (or decorative straps in some cases) has been missed, although not sorely missed. well, fret not. a Japanese company has a solution for it - a bracket screwed to the base of your iPhone 4 and it's available for both 3G & 3GS as well. when every company is rushing to design & manufacture cases/covers for iPhone 4, these guys at Poddities chose a different path and came up with a contraption to enable you to relive your...

ultra-lightweight Lamborghini super car

the Italian super car maker unveiled it's concept lightweight super car in the 2010 Paris motor show, weighting in at just 997.9kg (overall curb weight) - all thanks to the advance carbon-fiber technology. while other super car maker are pursuing the hybrid technology, Lamborghini chose the path of exploring efficiency through lighter weight and lower emissions. known as the sesto elemento Lamborghini, this Lamborghini will be powered by 570hp V-10 power plant and has a claimed acceleration from 0-62mph in just 2.5sec. this proves that you can be a heavy weight car maker without being actually being a heavy weight :)
