FINALLY. Melly is back on her creative toes! Illustrated the picture above due to my excitement for Christmas which is happening in less than an hour time! Can you smell the wonderful christmas air?! I do! I do! It smells like fresh baked cinnamon rolls, yummm. Haven't been keeping in touch with my adobe sisters ever since i got to the UK and that is like four months. WOW. Four months!? It's crazy to see how crazily time flies. I'm spending my Christmas with my friends this year and it's gonna be one special Christmas cos I'm celebrating it in London! Woo Hoo!!
Anyway, i was on Facebook just now (weird how i log onto it every day now, hmmm) and apparently 'What I Want For Christmas' topic was trending on my news feed. I have came to discover that almost all my friends wished for branded goods or electronic gadgets like the Fendi bag, iPhone 4s and etc. I'm guessing Santa Claus must be some loaded broker. If he ever exists or if i ever do believe in his existence, i just want him to know that my christmas wish is to celebrate the jingly festive season with my family. If only he can teleport me in his Santa's wagon back home... Oh well, i guess i have to just accept the fact that i am going through this 'adulthood' phase. In fact, five more months till i come home for good! YAY! I am counting down the days just so you know :)
And, Merry Christmas my fellow readers!! xxoo
Q: What do you get when an owl meets electro?
A: A hipster owl pimpin' out kanye west shades that's so flyyy rawking a mohawk yooooo!
Pardon me being lame but I just can't help being lame cos I am LAME. Illustrated a hipster owl for my visual comm assignment. Somehow the owl looks like a cat. Must be the shades i guess. It looks very much like an owl without the shades. Hope my lecturer dig this. OUT yo x
Here's what I have illustrated for one of my visual comm assignments comprising three elements i.e.: modern, retro and urban. Took me about 4 -5 hours for the illustrations. Currently, i am into bright neon colours at the moment. Speaking of which, gonna get colourful neon glow sticks for deadmau5 gig later *excite excite*. So far this week has been quite a good week for me. Few hours ago, I was at HURTS gig with my bestie aka jojo bear and it was amazing!!! It's been awhile since i have hung out with her and I miss her so much. This whole month is definitely gonna be our month and that's guaranteed for sure! Deadmau5 later with jojo bear. Anyway, will piggy blob about HURTS soon. Till then xx
Just finished illustrating a sales advert for Alice Wonders boutique. And... i have some fantastic news for you shoppers! Alice Wonders is having a mega tea partay sales starting from tonight until the 9th of February which is this coming Wednesday. So, wad'ya waiting for fashionistas!? Head on to Alice Wonders now!! I assume that the clicking should have already started by now *click click* =)
ps: Happy Chinese New Year everybody!!
Illustrated this Christmas wallpaper for the company that I'm interning. I love the fat snowman that I drew which is just the way that I want him to look like - fat, healthy and happy. Can't believe 3 months has passed and left one more month to go till I leave the company. The stress from the company is just crazy and unbearable at some point but the experience working for my boss company is just amazing and priceless. Not to mention, my boss is one hell of a slave driver but a very NICE slave driver I must say. By the way, I'm interning at a creative advertising boutique which is really different from what I used to do. My work has got nothing to do with fashion and yea.. the boring corporate stuff. But some events I admit are quite fun, especially the musicals and rehearsals!! Anyway, Christmas is happening in 96 hours from now. Glad that I did my christmas shopping last weekend and can't wait for the BIG family dinner this Friday! Till then, Merry Christmas loves x =)
Three months back, I've changed my oh-so-pretty straight hair to Madonna's frizzy hairdo and not blonde but red. Oh yes, red and frizzy! I heart the bright, intense and brilliant red color loads. Even my bestie loves my new do so much that she drew me hairstyle =)
My Madonna hairdo matches everything I put on whether it's a simple vintage dress, over-size tee with leggings, and basically, anything. The goodness of having this do is that I draw more attention (me likey!), matches my clothes & shoes, gives me the feeling that I'm living in the 80s and I feel like a young Madonna redhead version somehow.
Anyhoo, goodness aside, the now hairdo of mine doesn't look the same how it used to three months ago. My roots are showing and my hair is getting so annoying that I'd gotta tie it up everyday. I can't wait to straighten my hair back and probably go jet black but not anytime soon tho. There's about two more weeks till Madonna leaves me and am definitely gonna miss her so much. In the mean time, I should start looking for new hairstyles then.

Drew this some time ago. Love these skeletal structured heels from DSquared2 from its A/W 2010 collection. This shoe design is simple with a twist of complexity to it. I like how the skeletal bones on the heels descends and it somehow creates a lucid illusion. Anyhoo, I can't wait to do more shoe illustrations *excite excite*.
This morning, I accompanied my mother to the market. While my mum was busy choosing vegetables to buy, I just stood by at the corner of the vegetable stall. Yawning at the corner, trying to stand still so I won't fall asleep. Then, I got wide awake after I saw a huge bag of egg plants which suddenly is placed right in front me by one of the workers. The colour of the eggplant just caught my sleepy eyes and at that moment, all I wanted to draw was eggplant! Lots of them with different colours!
The bus is missing it's letter N cos I don't have enough space to fit the N on the bus. But, looking at it again, the Londo bus actually looks pretty nice! Oh, can you spot my car? ;)
I heart you Mister Alexander and all your wonderful designs.
Doesn't she look familiar to you? Well, it's Melly Ling of Frenchie Pig which means ME =) Ah..yes, my blog Frenchie Pig is already one year old and since Frenchie Pig already has its own beautiful Eiffel Tower and the pink pig, the author should have a picture of her own too on the blog. When I say picture, I meant an illustrated picture just like Garance Dore beautiful illustrations. I fell in love with Garance Dore and my friend Tin Iglesias illustrations. Both of them inspired me to do one for myself. So, I eventually did an illustration of myself on Illustrator CS4 which took me about 2 hours. YAY! I know my illustration isn't that nice but it sure looks good to me ;)
