This is one of my latest present gifts. Again another special request by my friend, I had to design her name and a picture that she wanted me to draw.

Ok, the picture was supposedly from an anime. I know the outcome looks a abit comical like/cartoon liked, but hey, its my first try, and i kinda like the ending result, though of course, it could be a lot better.

Through her, her parents also find it nice too. Glad to receive good comments. Yeah!

Camera





Say Cheezzzz!!!
This shirt was a special request by a friend. She wanted a camera picture, and a strap with it too.
First time trying out a camera design so after a few changes with the camera design, i came up with this and tada!!!

3 tops - Lileen









The above 3 tops design were made for a friend who requested me to do it after watching one of design i did for a person who went MIA. (see the story of it in my previous post). Glad that she likes it, even though she would have wanted something better and nicer for the crown design (3rd design... )

I took quite a bit of time from concept, to drawing for approval to the execution itself. Though the price tag compared to the workload does not match, i thought it was worth it.

Gift - Emix




The tot just came to me to do this for a friend. Glad that she appreciates it. Whether she uses it, not within my control.

Gift - Tengfu




Another design made for one of my buddy, Tengfu. The design comprises of his initials, "LTF". i combine it to become a sort of logo.

Again, no visible, but has meaning to it. This is just so my kinda style.

Cap - Red plus White




This is the one where i added more sewing onto my previous completed cap. i took another 3 hours i think just on that sewing alone. Never easy man, never easy.

As mentioned, i used it for my own usage in the end. Unique and totally my kinda style.

Cap - No 6




Another cap used for my own usage. I have been using the number "6" whenever i can. From my jersey number to incidents where i have to choose a number, 6 always come to mind. Dont ask me why... I dont know why i used 6 too.

Cap - White 4




i orginally did this design, but later added something else. This is shown from a post on top. a bit different about this design is the No. "4". It is actually a iron-on patch, but i used it to be sewn onto the cap instead and at the back instead of the normal front part of the cap. In the end, i used it for my own usage.

Cap - Think




Same as my previous post on "toothy". This was one of the 2 "reddish" coloured caps. Not one of my favourites, but still carrying a hope that it will be sold off one day.

Cap - Toothy



I kinda bought the wrong cap colour in the first place. But in the end did this and it has been with me since then. Hard to sell, and i dont forsee myself wearing it.

White Tee - Cross



I did this during a DIY workshop in school where we got tshirt and canvas shoe to design.

Did it freehand and managed to impress one of the school staff who was taking a look at that time. He got his hands "itching" and he did one freehand design himself too in the end, and it was great i must say.

Havent wear it since.. Decided to post it online soon for buyers.
ANyone?

Belt



This is one of my strangest designs. On a leather belt, i actually used fabric paint on it. Doesn't seem right at all.

But still, the design was kinda spontaneous. Basically i used positive words like 'everlasting, forever, eternity' combining it together to make a design.

was for myself, i am still using it today even after 1 year plus

Cap - Ragged



As mentioned in my previous post, this was one of the 2 caps which i did for the unknown girl who went MIA after that.

Despite that, this design was serious so my kinda style, so personally i like it a lot that i could wear it myself. Still, most probably i would still post it online to look for interested buyers instead.

Cap - Simply Jodi




This cap along with the one on top brought me a lesson. I was approached by a girl online whom i do not know personally to design something for her.

Giving me the freedom to design anything for her, she only gave me her preferred colours. Anyway, the main thing after completing 2 caps as per her request, she just went MIA. i did not have her hp number and could only pm her through WHOLIVESNEARYOU. Simply said, she fly kite on me.

Despite that, the 2 designs brought me opportunities. One of my friend saw the design i did in the end got me to design 3 of her tops. Of course i was paid for the job. I was glad that she was satisfied on my designs.

Quite an experience just based on 2 designs i did.

Cap - 3 brown buttons



Again, the first few caps that i did. and those on mesh cap, i usually did sewing for it since the colour was black and using fabric paint would not be obvious at all.

Simple simple, but in the end, i redo it and change it as shown in my previous post. Can you spot it?

Cap - Freedom



The concept of this cap is a bit similar to one previous post on "ANGEL".

I used bright colours to express the design. But what makes it tough for this is on the letter "F", i actually went to sew a border around it. It was extremely tough to sew through the front portion of the cap. I practically bended my needle quite badly in the process.



This is another cap that i used as a gift. The word in it is "SIMPLE". i tried to make it kinda complicated so that people have to think twice before realising the word.

I want to show the contradiction of human thinking at times, when certain things or situation which ought to be simple, is often made more complicated by humans' thinking or actions.

But for the gift for my friend, she is a simple person by nature. So this cap i tot naturally suits her well.

Cap - Cross




This took me a long time to make. First to come out with the design and concept, then buying and cutting of materials and finally the work itself.

It was meant for a contest held by Bugis Junction. So once i send the application in, the cap was practically gone. No more hopes of getting it returned.

Cap - Big brown



This was one of first few caps design. In the end, i used as a gift for one of my buddies as part of his birthday present.

Imagine, the button at the side, it is quite expensive man... when i bought it at spotlight.

One of my simpler designs that i have made

LTB photos




Another one of my "art" for my community service project. This suddenly came to mind one day and i basically drew "cute" pictures of my group members and frame it. Took several pictures and send it to them.

Guess at first was trying to use it as a way to bond us together, like something in common for all to share. Hope it did really had some effects in the end.

LTB Logo




This is mainly created by me when my group involving in a community service project had to came up with something for our group logo. We had a few designs made by some of us, and in the end, we decided on this.

Drawn on different tees, it is used to represent our group name and the event/awareness program we are carrying out. That is to promote environmental awareness and practice

OP Tee




This is one of my "not so good" designs. I kinda made mistakes after mistakes while doing it, causing the final product to have a few coats of paint. I placed it aside, not willing to wear for myself. In the end, i posted it online, to see if somehow there was an interested party.

Lucky me, there was... and i managed to sold it and regain my cost price for the tee. It was a blank OP tee shirt btw

Canvas shoe



This is another of my experiment DIY. Bought a cheapo canvas shoe and design it.

The design has a meaning to it, but it is not visible, cos only i know what the design is about. Just know that it is actually letters of "DT" over the 2 shoes.

Know what DT stands for?


This was kinda last min thingy when i knew quite late that it was one of my friend's 21st birthday. I needed to raise funds for one of community service project work and did a series of notebook designs.

She was one of the first few buyers to support the cause. So as part of her birthday and a Thank You for supporting me, i drew a simple "pic" of her and frame it up.

Did not cost much, did not take a lot of time. But it was with a lot of Thankfulness and appreciation in this piece of work.

Cap - 3 Buttons




This was remade in the end when a friend of mine wanted me to do something as a gift for her friend.

The 3 buttoms represented something... It had a meaning to it, but i forgotten about it already. Do note that the side is hand-sewn by me. Took almost an hour plus for it.

Notebooks - Simplicity




Below are a whole list of posts of notebooks designs i did for my school term when we had to complete a community service project. In order to raise funds, we had to sell notebooks we made for ourselves. I did all this in a rush, but luckily, i managed to gain support from friends and relatives.

Quite an experience, when i had to rush this on top of my other studies. All about time management.

Notebook - Other You


Notebook - Complexicity


Notebook - Leaves

Notebook - Missing


Notebook - Gratitude

Notebook - This is a notebook

Notebook - Green & White


Notebook - Freestyle




Notebooks that i did for a community service project. I simply draw it spontaneously. No idea what i was doing that time, but i liked it. Just like what the design is about... FREESTYLE!

Janice Gift




I did this when i came to know that my online friend's birthday was coming.

Noticed the 2nd picture is cross hanging around the 2 toys. The DIY part here is the sewing of the cross... NOT the toys itself. I would have the super duper ability to do that. Anyway, glad that she like it in the end. Though simple, it was something from what i usually does.
