Not a Criminal

- I made this to be used in a poster.
- It's the first time I ever used conte. So now you know why the picture's a f*cking mess.
- When I finished it, and saw that there's nothing I could do to improve it (conte is hard to erase), I found that due to my lack of care, my hands are all black, the floor is black, and even my previous sketches had black stains on them (thank God I've scanned them all).
- Nevertheless, it actually felt good... I don't know why really.
- I'm gonna do better next time.

It's basically an illustration for a short story I made. It's in Indonesian, though.

The First Asian Team to Participate in the World Cup

Yep, it's Indonesia!!!

Although at the time, it's still under the name of Dutch East Indies (the year was 1938),

The Game

The Team

and it also got knocked off on the first game 0-6 by Hungary.
But hey, Hungary was a strong team back then and it eventually became the finalist, so the loss is understandable.

I wonder when we can experience that again.

Female Buddha

This is a sketch I just made.
It's special because it's the first time I draw solely on memory.
(and some guidance from my mother)
Woo hoo!!!

Female Buddha

Mm..
It's a female Buddha.

Why did I draw it?
Because I've been thinking about the feminine and the Truth.

That's pretty much it I guess.
If it doesn't look good, try zooming it until it does.
Hehehe...

UPDATE
I made some improvements after Ron's input and also added some details on the neck.

My Name Is Hubertus!

Yes, I have quite an uncommon name in Indonesia.
Somehow, people always have a hard time getting it right, and it gets even worse when I say it on the phone.
I’ve been called Robertus, Albertus, or even Petrus.

The best I’ve got so far is Rubertus.

The worst?
Try changing the first letter to ‘P’.

Yeah.
Great.
Pubertus.

Now who the f*ck in their right mind would name their child ‘Pubertus’?!
It's so disgustingly hormonal!
And It didn’t get any better when the woman on the phone who had kindly blessed me with the name kept repeating it like it’s a normal name or something.

Geez..
Some friends of mine call me Hube.
Does it mean if she ever becomes my friend, I’ll be called Pube?

Leaving Your Sins: A Horrible Sunday Mass Sermon

Luke 9:57-62 (New International Version)

The Cost of Following Jesus

57As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go."
58Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."
59He said to another man, "Follow me."
      But the man replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."
60Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God."
61 Still another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say good-by to my family."
62Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God."

In today’s mass the passage was about… well, you can read it yourself. Most sermons I’ve heard about this passage were helplessly chaotic. That’s why I decided to write the sermon I heard today. Guess what? It took on a wholly chaotic way, no different than before or even worse.

The Beauty in Christianity

One fundamental thing in Christianity is the thought of 'God gives Himself to Man'.

A common interpretation involves Jesus, who is 'God giving Himself to Man', sacrificing Himself to erase the sins of Man and buy them back from evil with His blood.

This thought, as expected, becomes the source of joy for most Christians, because it is considered that even though we are flawed beings, God is willing to go through all the trouble to save us.

Unfortunately, this very thought also tragically destroys the value of creations, especially Man as God’s image,
