Twilight Zone Fun

Mungkin benar, aku magnet bagi Twilight Zone. Masih ingat film itu kan?

Dalam minggu ini ada banyak kejadian tidak terduga dan aneh rasanya bisa aku alami beruntun. Pertama, diterima kerja fulltime di tempat yang tidak pernah kusangka bisa keterima,
Kedua, menang undian buku dari penerbit Matahati
Ketiga, memang ngga penting sih, tapi aku diminta jadi desainer logo buat game online VF.

yang terakhir ini, jelas tidak (belum?) menghasilkan profit sebenarnya. Tapi ntah kenapa aku senang sekali bisa ikut berpartisipasi, dan diajak pula oleh pengurusnya. Ada kepuasan tersendiri kalau karya kita dilihat seluruh dunia,kan.Hehhe!

Sejarah aku senang bikin desain logo game kondang ini sebenarnya udah dimulai beberapa waktu yang lalu, bermula dari kompetisi awalnya sih.. Bisa dibaca di link ini.

Perang dan Kartun

Gara-gara Oscar suka browsing soal jaket kulit, aku jadi suka perhatiin juga soal jaket kulit dan insignia-nya.

Yang paling menarik adalah memperhatikan kolaborasi Disney dengan militer Amerika dan sekutu jaman perang dunia kedua. Berawal dari permintaan Naval Operations officer di Washington. Letnan E. S. Caldwell meminta Disney untuk mendesain hidung pesawat terbang Amerika, "Mosquito Boats". Disney menyanggupi, dan hasil karyanya langsung menjadi trend pada masa itu. The insignia was such a hit that every torpedo boat in the fleet soon had a Disney mosquito. (In the photo at left, the insignia adorns the cabin of a PT boat.)

Mungkin karena gaya gambar Disney yang lucu, karakter Disney yang sudah dikenal luas oleh rakyat Amerika menjadi dorongan semangat berperang, jadi meski gambarnya lucu-lucu, jangan salah, kartun ini mengandung pesan menyeramkan buat lawan perang.

Meski terkadang tidak semuanya Disney yang membuat, adapula cerita menarik dibalik pembuatan insignia ini. Baca juga di sini.

Gerakan seni ini sering disebut "Nose Art". Kemudian Disney pun mulai mengerjakan pesanan buat badan kapal, dan pesawat tempur sekutu. Jaket para pilot perang juga ikut dihiasi karakter kartun Disney dan menjadi kebanggaan bagi pemiliknya. Bisa berupa emblem, atau lukisan langsung di bagian punggung jaket.

Hingga kini, jaket bergambar kartun Disney masih dicari orang, dan kabarnya harga barang vintage ini tentu sangat mahal karena memuat sejarah juga.

Virus Baru

Setelah virus VF (my virtual flights) beredar, dan Plurk juga udah jadi alternatif blogging, sekarang aku terjangkit virus baru, Poupee Girl.

Seru juga maen ini, jadi inget jaman dulu suka main boneka kertas. Hihi..

Virus-virus baru ini memang asyik dimainkan, tapi tentu seperti halnya virus penyakit, bisa juga merugikan karena bisa bikin ketagihan.

Virus ini mungkin lebihberguna buat dimainkan di waktu senggang aja, contohnya aku yang membuang jenuh dari pekerjaan, suka lari ke browser game seperti ini.

Pastikan sebelum bermain Anda tahu batas aja. Itu anti-virus yang bisa mengendalikan penyakit ini.

So, enjoy the game!

This is my traditional woven textile from Bali. My sister who lives in Bali gave me as a present. I only wear in on special occasion.

You can feel the texture of the golden threads decorated the traditional Balinese woven textile.

Balinese woven textile is one of Indonesian heritage treasure.
