world leaders, including prime minister gordon brown, president obama and e UN secretary general have all condemned e actions of e burmese regime. now they need to turn those words into real pressure. they are calling for a global arms embargo against burma. all that is left is to hope and pray that they really do something to change the situation.

but how about asean...? least support we can expect is from our very own leaders... for all that we can ever get is a letter of regret on aung san's verdict.

pledge your support for liberty & humanity by sharing this with others.

was clearing my facebook inbox when i came across old messages
exchanged between me and sketch-one back in january on the agenda
of the heartfelt non-profitable event organized by him @ the skate park called
our paint for their paint: artists against the senseless killings in gaza
a supposedly fine day with kids, friends, fellow artists and picnic mats...
was not a good idea after all.

foreseen as a form of political gathering or potential rioters instead of a
peaceful assembly of people enjoying potluck & appreciating our art of memoriam,
they took extreme preventive measures. curtains were drawn before it even began.
for us, it was a despair to disappoint such an overwhelming response and turnout.
branded to might have caused social unrest, there and then...
they knew us as liberators.

stale as it is, that episode sets today's benchmark of limited freedom of art in +65.
these are some of the stencils i did, that never made it to the walls and t-shirts.

they are, most definitely, not ready or prepared, to face our youth who are
in tuned to world issues.

... and this was my response.

every second spent on your portrait was worthwhile...
may you have a blissful marriage and lead a wonderful life ahead.

beneath our existence lies a goal for life's challenges & accomplishments. I personally believe that we are here for é basic mission of living life in accordance to how we choose to live it which will eventually end and judged solely by our creator.

a good compadré lost his mom at 2245hrs on é night of 14 October 05 after years of battling a disease. on behalf of ARTVSTS & familia, deepest condolences for your loss, compadré, for now we do know she is indeed in a much better place and greater loved by none other than God himself. moga Allah s.w.t mencucuri rahmat ke atas rohnya. al-fatihah.

everything here is temporary. we will all leave this place, sooner or later, be it peacefully or tragically. it is all up to é understanding of that fine line between our temporary life and é immortality of death.

take care, bro. we're here for you.
