Arts

What is an art based on your point of view? Well, I don’t really think that we, or at least myself, could really define what an art is. Because in my opinion, art is vast. We could make our own definition of art, but I’m not really sure which one is really true. Picasso had his opinion about an art which I think I kind of agree with him.

Art is a lie which makes us realize the truth.
-Picasso

Don’t ask me why, it just sounds right to me. :)
But if I have to define what an art is, I guess I’ll just define it in one word. Everything. Yes, I think everything in this world, and the outer world, is an art. A flower is an art. A falling leaf is an art. A cry of a baby is an art. So does a tsunami. You might think I am crazy by saying a tsunami is an art. But even in something disastrous lies a beauty. Once more, don’t ask me why. :)
Well, I actually just want to share some cool pictures of arts that I got from David Blaine’s twitter, but I also wanted to write a few things. So here are some of the pictures.

Life Is a Roller Coaster

Hey guys (and girls)..

It's been a while (again) since the last time I wrote here.

I have loads of things to share in my mind, mostly about the upside down of life, but maybe I'll forget most of them when I write this. lol.

Now I'm going to tell you about the up and down of the Indonesian Card Artist (I.C.A.), a card flourish community in Indonesia and the only community that I actively follow.
Let me start with a brief history of the I.C.A.

7 (or 9?) people who were devoted and loved card flourish, an art of manipulating cards apart from magic tricks, formed this community on February 1st, 2009. They're Gior, Rama, Rizky, Adie, Edward, Dhika, and Osamon. Their journey was really hard, especially because playing cards have a "bad reputation" in Indonesia. If you play cards (or maybe just hold them), people think that you're a gambler. But they didn't stop. They made an online forum and their community grew really fast. With some hard work, they finally began to rise from the shadows of playing card's bad reputation. People finally accepted the art and the I.C.A. tasted the fruits of their hard work, they appeared on radios and magazines.

But then, life didn't cooperate well like before. Though the community grew faster but it's been a flat moment for the I.C.A. C'est la vie.

But now, life has put them -probably- on the top of the roller coaster's rail. Less than a month, they appeared in so many TV programs.

I have known them since pretty much the beginning of their journey so I think that is really good for them, now I am referring to all of I.C.A. members, to be well known in Indonesia. It is time for card flourish in Indonesia to rise again. :D

I can sense that my writing is not structured anymore. lol

I'm so tired, but I wanted to write something here. haha..

So, this is the end for now, see you all again next time.

Oh, I put a of I.C.A.'s video when they're on TV (with me in there) :D

Thanks to Rama who has given me the chance to perform on TV.

Enjoy.

Late New Year

Hello again everybody,

It's 2011 now. I know its too late, but who cares? Better late than never.

So I wish you all the best thing this coming year. :)

As for me, this year starts with some good news - I would say they're great news. :)

I got 3 of rare decks (White Centurions, Brown Wynn, and Arcane Gold). Though I have to sell the first two decks, I am still happy that I used to have those decks.

Then I won the 2nd place in a competition. Yes, it was 2nd place, but that what I want.

You may think that I'm weird, but to be honest, the prize for the 2nd place was A LOT better than the 1st place. So now, I probably will get one of the rarest (or the most rare. lol ) uncut sheet deck, the Gold Arcane Uncut Sheet. :) -still waiting the confirmation tho.

I hope this year will be a good year for everyone, it does so far for me.

See you soon.
