Tell My Tales [Personal Series]

ILLUSTRATION Poetry story storybook book editorial girl people art Story telling

We tell various stories for personal, gift, couple, children, wedding and other special request. The illustration is based on my interpretation of the poetry. I usually slip in little elements and details too (sometimes by request). I use the person’s favourite colour as the main colour and

give touch of other colours based on the poetry mood. Here's the personal series.

This artwork is a birthday gift from her boyfriend. She is a young woman who persistent to achieve her dreams and face the life games

with a smile and kind heart.

[L-R] : This is one of the gifts from a newlywed couple to their creative team who made their wedding day unforgettable. It’s a piece for a make up artist who did incredible jobs. She loves fairies and like a fairy herself, she turns people to look flawless with her magic wand.

The right piece is another gratitude gift for a fashion designer who created a beautiful wedding dress for the bride. He is one of Indonesian promising fashion designers. He created fascinating dresses, from no one to be someone whose career keeps going up. I illustrate him walking up the stairs where frames of his designs floating around. He creates each and every dress with passion and care.

The right artwork is a birthday gift from her boyfriend. He admires and loves her strong personality and kind heart.

She loves Tiger Lily from Peter Pan for her bravery and trusty character. As inspired by Tiger Lily native American elements,

I illustrate her as a forest fairy flying towards the moon with Peter Pan in tiger lily flower bed.

This is a piece for a young woman birthday gift from her girlfriend. They are a special couple who love each other yet they have to face difficulties from their family and society respectively. Though this artwork focused on one person, her hope and the way she sees life represents both of them. Aside from their strictly strong culture in the family, they see life in a different perspective and believe in chance for ‘extraordinary’ community to live with their choice. Like looking at kaleidoscope’s changing patterns. Like a caterpillar turns to cocoon, they hope for a beautiful metamorphosis.

[L-R] : An artwork for a big hearted young woman who is a friend of mine. She is everyone’s best friend who enjoys the culinary trips, especially at night while we share stories, laughter or crying together. She used to drink and had an unhealthy lifestyle (especially, eating habit). As she’s changing her lifestyle to be a healthy one, a salad bowl is seen here to support and remind her positive decision.

An artwork on this page is a birthday gift for a young Indonesian diplomat. His dream of being a politician who will work on the national security and bring peace among nations in the world has been with him since high school or even before. Apart from the long struggling path he has to go through, he’s persistent of it and keep his way up.

The last one is a birthday gift for a yoga and travel enthusiasts girl who favours pink colour. Her love of strolling around the cities and Marie the cat inspired this illustration.
