After the mini reconstruction, now it looks so much satisfying with me. The aging paint of the wall and road are more realistic than the 2017-version. I also added some object details in the shophouse and kopitiam.  On the first floor of shophouse, I made it as subdivided rooms (also known as 劏房) which is showing the real circumstance before it was tore down to cafe for now.  The 60 years old Ho Kow kopitiam is no longer located at Lorong Panggung.  I brought it back to KL few days ago, and take a contrast photo between the new alley and the original appearance. This artwork is displayed in @Pandan Republic, Lorong Panggung now. Check it out if you're interested :)

 As time goes by, the skill and accuracy on making scenario has improved. The darn perfectionism in me started to think of reconstructing the mini shophouse I made for Lorong Panggung 2 years ago. Basically I remain all the windows and door (as they look quite good to me), and transfer them into a new wall. The main thing I ain't satisfy for the old one was the weathering and paint I applied to the wall.  The size is slightly amended too.
We will see how the new one looks like next time. 誠心感謝八度空间 和 Story Art Studio幕後團隊的用心拍攝。 拼湊記憶第九集 - 《收藏回憶的人》 This was a project I started to make since October 2017. It is a kopitiam at Lorong Panggung, Kuala Lumpur. (Fyi, kopitiam = coffee shop in Malaysia) Since it is for my personal collection, it was kinda slow in progress. However, it was sad to hear that this 60 years old shop was forced to closed down May of this year. Coincidentally, Atlas Obscura and the filmmaker approached me at this time to make a video for that. It's such a good timing, I'm sure it will be a precious documentary for all of us, recording both real and miniature ver. of the kopitiam. Million thanks to the videographer Lucas Veuve for this wonderful video. We have spent so many days to film at both of my studio and Ho Kow kopitiam. I saw his earnest and effort for his job that I rarely see from the others, let's see how amazing the outcome is! In conjunction with the launching of movie Ant-Man and the Wasp, we're grateful to have the opportunity to collaborate with SAYS and Marvel to shoot a series of photographs of Ant Man in my miniature kitchen and provision shop.for advertising in SAYS' social media. Ant-Man in Nanyang Kitchen Ant-Man in Ban Fong Provision Shop  Look at how real the Ant-Man figurine is!
Collaboration project with Maxis. Check out the micro stories behind each of the miniature posts for Maxis!
https://www.instagram.com/maxis/ 一直以來我曾參加過的市集都只是一般的art & craft market，這次特別從馬來西亞飛到東京參與了Tokyo Dollhouse & Miniature Show，還適逢Hari Raya旺季的時候花了不少機票錢，只為了想體驗一次純袖珍和展示娃娃屋的市集。 來到日本很多人會面對的第一個問題就是語言。一開始我隔壁的中野佳子小姐也擔心我在和顧客溝通時會有些困難。還好小妹我有看柯南的習慣，基本對話也還算可以，所以兩天下來都能和顧客及其他的袖珍作家交流聊天。 拍了一些戰利品： ① 當中最貴的M.e.q袖珍魔法組合（蘑菇標本，魔法棒，魔法藥水全都好可愛～） ② 復古打字機（雖然是工廠製品，但細膩度還是挺好的，所以被納入收藏之一） ③ 我和一位來自北京現居在群馬的Pheles交換得來的。裡面的液體是可流動的！ ④ 就在我對面的Cobaanii售賣的鋼琴材料包 其他還買了一些小物件和材料。因為主要還是來工作，所以很多時候只能趁去洗手間的空擋在場內走馬看花。直到第二天的最後兩個小時我才好好地逛場內的展示品（結果都沒拍照）  ① handmade magic tool set by M.e.q Miniatures  ② typewriter by Diopark  ③ handmade wine bottle by Pheles  ④ wooden piano workshop kit 但說實話，我真的無法眼看著這麼可愛的袖珍而不買，所以到最後賣的比買的還多，呵。 總歸來說，我還是認識了一些很好的朋友，收穫豐富，也比較了解日本人對袖珍的喜好。 下一次回來日本，我一定要把日文說得更流利。 另外這次來東京時約了一位在日本唸書的朋友見面，是位很有天分的artist！除了给我兩張自己畫的Frida Kahlo和Kiki之外，還偷偷送了我一個自己捏的手作粘土娃娃，超可愛～ 謝謝你！  |
