I like frogs ever since I spent days as a kid fishing for tadpoles in the small pool created by water stuck in the basins underneath the flagpole in my mum's school outside where I lived. I lived in a teacher's flat up to five years old.The tadpoles and little froglets...it caught my facination...



When I moved to my family home(still is today) there was this lamppost outside and a patch of grass...you could go out there sit awhile and in mere moments,you'll see frogs hoping about...kinda tranquil with moonlight and all... could have been romantic had I not been alone...



In college, I decided to make a little film called demolition frog...it was really successful...so that cemented my love and association to frogs.



I think I am like a frog as I come from Sarawak, a rather green little city (frogs in green grass) I like my temperament to be like Kermit (the frog) I am often misunderstood in my ideology ( frogs are often misunderstood as ugly) and I hope to grow up and make my family proud one day (the frog becoming a prince) as well as get a princess in my arms...(hey every frog needs one no?)

of Frogs and moonlight....

Voice of tomorrow...what do you see?  

The print numbered 12/20 above is from a student artist. His name is Khayril Anwar B. Khairudin. The print is a bit dirty and it is framed merely with a mounting board. However, it just struck me and held my attention.



The boy sitting plainly is very serene and comforting. The boy’s keen observation of what in his fingers making awe at a miniscule tickled me, my curiosity making me want to stare as keenly, sharing in his wonder. The more intricate design behind him, the gestural motive from an impression of grill webbing added a complexity to the visual, a sweet flavour to the plain ‘simpleton’ qualities of the fore. The pictorial as a whole also had a warmth evening light feeling from the way it was lit. Dark shadows in the fore accompanied this, giving it a strong base by which to hold everything in place.



I bought this print as I had a little bit of money to spare. It didn’t cost much but that’s not to say it’s not worth anything more, just that I can afford it.



I do not claim in anyway to be an art critic but I enjoyed this print in this manner and I hope you enjoy it in your own way...do share in the comment below. My brother and friend in their own way said ‘Dude…it’s scary. It’s like Ju-On!!!’
