Space Cadet Bling

Go, Tigo!

BLingster — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 02:31:57 +0000

I’d just stepped into 7-11 about a week ago, lo and behold, what did I see on the shelves? This yummy biscuit packing with my drawing on it! There’ll be more to come soon, but stuff like these are exactly what I feel I do best, and why I’m moving away from the thankless job of graphic design and into character art. And to think I’d started this more than a year ago and am only now able to share it with you guys once the product had hit the shelves. Goes to show, if you know you’re good at what you do and you have the passion, even if it doesn’t pay off at first, it eventually will as long as you stay patient and hone your craft.

Will still be waiting for a payoff for my comic strips, but something new may be coming out of that, at the latest by the end of the month. Will keep you guys posted.

Here's the pack!

In the meantime, I’ll still be randomly updating this blog with random podcast episodes, movie soundtrack reviews and comic strips. This place is in serious need of a proper identity!

A Couchsurfing Host’s Room in London

While in London, I stayed with a friend who’s home is cluttered in a wonderful way. So I took to draw one corner of it… a daunting task indeed! One of the many interesting experiences I went through in my 3 weeks in Europe, and this is why I’d encourage people to join up! Visit www.couchsurfing.org and travel the less beaten path, one where the people are the destinations and not the places.

Midnight Run Podcast Episode 2!

BLingster — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 12:48:18 +0000

After a long break, just did another impromptu random show with no particular topic in focus. Brief mention on my trip in Europe, and a general play on what kind of focus this podcast could have. Maybe sports, like news about Arsenal, relationship advice columns, movies, politics, and so on… well. No real focus, but just foolin’ around and letting stuff from my head flow out in a stream of consciousness format. Click on the media player below to listen!

Traveling done right

BLingster — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 14:21:47 +0000

I’d just returned from my European holidays and thought I’d post a simple cartoon quickie here (a little more sketchy than my usual style, but somehow seems to have more charm the more unrefined the cartoon is, hmmm… got to give this style more thought perhaps since it also saves a lot of time for me!) I’ve observed on some travel habits of some tourists, that they spend so much time snapping photos and seeing the sights that they forget one of the most important part about going to a different country, which is socializing and meeting other people. If more of us think this way, then we’d be better ambassadors of our own countries, at the same time sharing our own cultures while learning others.

Those Damn Laser Pen Lights!

My Bunny Valentine

BLingster — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 05:17:10 +0000

Just thought I’d do something sweet. Sometimes I can get too cynical and blergh with the world and lose sight that there can be genuine love, innocence and good feelings people can have with one another even if I haven’t found it myself. Enjoy the day those who have found your significant other, you are envied, at least by me if not others.

My drive for syndication

BLingster — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 08:44:41 +0000

Well, here I go. Making a big push to get my comic strip out there to the bigger agencies. Let’s see how this young upstart Space Cadet Bling does in the big leagues. He’s been hitting in the triple A’s for far too long and wants to try and hit a home run into the stands. I hope this little piece here’s charming enough to turn some heads.

Again, I wanna be syndicated! Hoo-rah!
