IN THE MIND OF A COMIC ARTIST: I PROMOTE MYSELF?!!!

I PROMOTE MYSELF?!!!

I have a new book released this month (November 2009), 'PENTAS REALITI: ASPIRASI SENI' under the label of GEMPAK STARZ™. Honestly saying I have to promote this book myself because all these years, I did almost all the write up for GEMPAK STARZ™ products such as from Zint, Keith, Kenny, Zuan, Slaium, Kaoru & so on... yadda! yadda! So when it comes to me to promote my own work, I try not to over do it when 'the' some people around me started saying "Wahhh... promote yourself is it?" & I replied "Why do I have to promote myself, this is my job & the book is belong to GEMPAK STARZ™." Anyway... nobody has the spirit to praise my work except for my fans. So, why not! Get my latest work by GEMPAK STARZ™ now in the market for you to grab...

It costs only RM7.50 (RM8.50 sbh/swk), you like or you don't... try to like it. For me... I really like it considering all the efforts I had put in order to get it done at its best (I did the same thing to other products of GEMPAK STARZ™ until they think I'm 'frantically too perfectionist'!). For the BM grammar, I followed the grammar I studied during my school years (ibubapa not ibu bapa!) coz I don't have to do all commonwealth syllabuses when I am already independence. Any other mistakes, forgive me... coz I edited it myself too. TQ!

Igniz said...: i've read ur book.

seriously dude, any writer can write stories about love, friendship, family or feelings...and anybody can come up with a lot of different stories as long as they put their maximum effort on the job.

But, not every writer can produce 15 different stories which each of them is only portrayed on 6-8 pages.

my point is, it is harder to create a short story than a long one. because we have to make sure every single detail is used accordingly without changing the idea and mood of the story.

but, u did it! within a limited number of pages u managed to maintain the flow of the story, and u did it 15 times! splendid, dude! :)

anyway, my favourite would be 'Ekspresi Cinta Brutal'. Great message, great dialogues and great mood, even though i'm not brutal. :D

keep writing! and drawing of course. :P; November 17, 2009 at 6:25 AM
Fakhrul Anour said...: Trimas Igniz... ^_^
I'm emotionally affected by your comment. I'm not sure if I can do such short stories again because all these 15 stories were written when I first started working with GEMPAK™. But having such encouraging point of view, will sure give me strength & confident to do what I do best. Thanx a million Igniz! ^_^

'Ekspresi Cinta Brutal' revealed apart of my underground lifestyle back in campus during degree years before my music interest turned to trance beat. Ironic huh?; November 17, 2009 at 2:03 PM

Huhuhuhuhu...

Fazl said...: saya paling suka 'Anakku, Jangan Nakal2'! :)

Secara keseluruhan, semua cerita dalam tu okey. Yang paling best 'Nak Perli ke Tak?' coz cerita tu lebih kurang dgn pengalaman saya jugak...hehe

Btw, kenapa bubble dia besar tapi font kecik?

Then, klu PRAS ni dibuat style nomik mcm karya Aie, 'Aku dan Sesuatu' (klu tak silap), lagi menarik.; November 29, 2009 at 10:23 PM
Fakhrul Anour said...: Trimas Fazl!
Huhu... 'Anakku Jangan Nakal' itu adalah karya masterpiece ok. My all-time-favourite, ia menjadi bukti kepada sesiapa pun yang mengenali Ayour bahawa bakat menulis kreatif Ayour diwarisi daripada seorang bidadari.

mengenai sebarang kekurangan tu Ayour akan cuba perbaiki untuk karya akan datang. Tapi nak buat cam Aie tu, Ayour lebih senang dengan cara sendiri. Sebab terlampau ramai sudah menurut cara dia malah Ayour sendiri pun pernah terikut dengan cara dia. Lihat sajalah Nizam Asari! Hehe...; December 3, 2009 at 8:56 PM
Anonymous said...: saya salah satu penggemar kamu dari indonesia, pertama tau dari majalah gempak 2002. baca karya "hanya..." pinjem dari temen.
kalo saya mau pesan karya kumpulan komik kamu bisa nggak ya dikirim ke indonesia? kalo bisa syaratnya apa?

MIND OF A COMIC ARTIST

Have you ever thought that a comic artist's mind is much more deeper than anyone of you can ever imagine? This is what makes me complicated & that's why I want you to know me here. What do I have in mind? Something to share before I leave. But thoughts recorded here remain, till terminate... till death do us part.

[MINDA SEORANG ARTIS KOMIK
Pernahkah kau terfikir bahawa minda seorang artis komik begitu mendalam berbanding sesiapa yang kau terbayangkan? Inilah yang membuatkanku rumit & kerana itu aku mahu kau mengenaliku di sini. Apa yang ku fikirkan? Sesuatu untuk dikongsi sebelum aku pergi. Tetapi ingatan-ingatan yang terakam kekal di sini, sehingga padam... hingga maut memisahkan kita.]

SYMBIOTIC OF LOVE

'Being cute doesn't mean you're adorable, being handsome doesn't mean you're tough, being gorgeous doesn't mean you're attractive, being pretty doesn't mean you're sweet! Once again I want to remind you that I'm not taken by anyone physical beauty unless for flirt favor. But if I'm taken by the beauty of your heart, compared to your physical beauty, then I'm glad for the great package of you! Though love doesn't need a package to lure me... '

[SIMBIOTIK CINTA
Tampak genit tidak bermaksud kamu menarik, tampak tampan tidak bermaksud kamu gagah, tampak mengagumkan tidak bermaksud kamu memikat, tampak cantik tidak bermaksud kamu manis! Sekali lagi ku berpesan bahawa aku tidak mudah terpedaya dengan keindahan fizikal sesiapa kecuali atas alasan berpoya-poya. Tetapi jika aku terpikat dengan keindahan hatimu, berbanding keindahan fizikalmu, maka aku bersyukur dengan pakejmu yang hebat! Walaupun cinta tidak perlukan pakej untuk mengumpanku...]

PANDICULATION

There are those who claimed I have the charisma that can attract people to get into the crowd & listen to my words. Yes, I believe I do have such power... alhamdulillah. I can even make people fall in love with me desperately while I'm still walking gracefully towards my dream unassuaged by their sincerity. But this charisma is God's gift, I will not use it by force demand, only by fair request & I agree to fulfill.

[PANDIKULASI
Mereka bilang aku punya karisma yang bisa memikat manusia hadir berkelompok mendengar bicaraku. Ya, aku percaya aku punya kuasa itu... alhamdulillah. Malah aku bisa bikin manusia jatuh cinta padaku sesungguhnya sedang aku terus berjalan penuh gaya ke arah mimpiku, tidak terpujuk oleh ketulusan mereka. Namun karisma ini anugerah-Nya, tidak akan ku rela bila dipaksa, hanya dengan seadil permintaan & aku redha memenuhinya.]

ASPIRATION

You said "Maybe I'm not so lucky in love..." Truth is all those time when you're into someone, it was because of pleasure & admiration. Once you had it, you fell even deeper for the imperfect of perfection & you thought that's true love. Yet such love is breakable, turned you into despair for a pleasure of admiration & blinds your way to see your true love who is waiting in despair yet unbreakable...

[ASPIRASI
Kau berkata "Mungkin aku tidak bertuah dalam cinta..." Sebenarnya ketika kau taksub kepadanya, adalah kerana kesenangan & kekaguman. Bila sudah memiliki, kau merasa yang terdalam dengan ketidaksempurnaan yang sempurna & kau sangka itu cinta sejati. Namun cinta itu amat rapuh, menjadikan kau kecewa pada kesenangan mengagumi & membutakan jalanmu melihat cinta sejati yang sedang menanti dalam kecewa tidak terapuhkan...]

BURLESQUE

"3x I've made love confession & none replied that they love me too, still they stick on me like lovers. But I never stuck on them when being unanswered didn't develop my motivation, though funny how they got miserable for that. More than 3x I heard love confession from others & none I replied, but they stuck on me until they got miserable!"

[BURLA
"3x aku mengaku cinta & tiada seorang pun mengaku yang sama, namun tetap mereka terikat denganku bagaikan kekasih. Namun aku leraikan ikatan itu bila perakuan tanpa sambutan tidak membina motivasiku, walaupun kelakar melihat mereka porak-peranda kerana itu. Lebih daripada 3x aku mendengar perakuan cinta mereka namun tiada satu pun aku sambut, tetapi mereka terus terikat padaku sehingga porak-peranda!"]

INTENTION

"Let me put it this way... you're not God whom I verbally confess my love & I don't expect to get verbal reply, yet my heart still believe I'm loved without doubt cause God don't hate. So if I verbally confess my love to you, don't expect me to believe you love me too if you're not verbally reply me because I couldn't compare you with God!"

[NIAT
"Beginilah... kau bukan Tuhan yang bisaku perakui cintaku secara lisan tanpa mengharap balasan yang sama, namun hatiku masih percaya aku dicintai sesungguhnya kerana Tuhan tidak membenci. Maka jika aku mengaku cinta kepadamu secara lisan, jangan harap aku bisa percaya kau mencintaiku juga tanpa jawapan lisanmu kerana aku tidak tega membandingkanmu dengan Tuhan!"]

SIREN

"I only want to be happy with what I do & if you're not happy with it please help yourself & get out! As far as I know you need help & I need to do my work, so what's it gonna be? Try to ruin my life just because you're not happy with how good my life is not an option to make yourself happy, I promise you'll be worse! Think of spider, ant & bee; I may look easy to be crushed but please doubt the fragility."

[SIREN
Aku hanya ingin bahagia dengan apa yang ku lakukan & jika kau tidak bahagia kerana itu, maka sila bantu dirimu sendiri & keluar! Setahu aku, kau perlukan bantuan & aku perlu laksanakan tugasku, jadi apa kesimpulannya? Cuba menghancurkan hidupku hanya kerana kau tidak bahagia dengan caraku bukan caramu untuk bahagia, percayalah kau pasti merana! Fikirkan lelabah, semut & lebah; aku mungkin kelihatan senang dipijak namun sila ragui kerapuhan itu."]

REGIME

"I recall that a common piece of advice was to restrain oneself from excessive knowledge. Knowledge leads to unhappiness & makes people permanently dissatisfied. I eventually came to realize that the origin of such poisonous belief was some people's desire to have others fall into their power."

"Saya teringat pada satu nasihat yang menahan seseorang daripada ilmu yang berlebihan. Ilmu membawa kepada kesedihan & membuat orang tidak berpuas hati selamanya. Saya akhirnya menyedari bahawa asal-usul kepercayaan beracun itu adalah keinginan sesetengah orang untuk melihat orang lain jatuh ke dalam kuasa mereka."
