budhha

this is the statue after my 6 days of hard work, i've used top grade hong kong gold leaves for this project. the finishing is very shining and smooth, hopefully it will not corrode again.

budhha

this is the budhha statue made of copper, as seen fromt he picture, some part of the statue turn rusty/corrosion thus parts of the gold leaf done previously came off, in order to ensure not to encounter this problem, i've got to stripped off all gold and paint from the statue to its origin and re-do everything.

bit by bit i scrapped away the exisiting paint from the statue then i de-rust it using sand paper and metal hair brush. after de-rust, i've used a very special type of solution which is called anti corrosion chemical, then after applying 4 times of the chemical, i painted another 2 coatings of oil base sealer to prevent the statue from corrosion again.

repainting job

this is the most common deity that all taoist recgonised, its the highest ranking deity name "Yu Wang Da Di" or commonly known as "Ti Gong"

this is the mini temple done by us using cement in 2005, as seen in the pics, the owner wants us to do a repainting job.

this is the finished job, i've changed some colours to give it a cleaner and brighter look, i've faked the sign board to look like stone carving, layed the inner flooring to bright red ceramic tiles and used oil paint for the roof of the mini temple.

yishun chompang guan tay temple

this is the brand new look of the horse after my 10 days of hardwork, i've used 4 days to removed the exisiting hair and old layer paint then paint the entire statue with oil base sealer, another 4 days to paint the entire horse and
2 days to paint its cloud base, joss stick holder and attach new hair to the horse statue, i've done some toning to its body in order to see and feel the horse powerful muscles and strength.

on the left are some pictures of the "horse of guan gong" its made of cement and its as big as a live size horse, this sculpture was made by us about 10 years ago, in order to make the sculpture more lively, we even used real hair and attached onto the statue, as you can see from the pictures, the colours of the horse has worn out and most of its hair had been plucked away by crows and other birds.( thats what the care keeper told me) i'm tasked to re-vamp the horse statue and to give it a brand new look.

THAILAND BUDDHA

This is the statue after my gold leaf plating. i've used genuine gold leaf from hong kong. the entire project took me 7 days from start to end.. the owner is very happy with the finishing as u can compare the difference from the photos of before and after. i charged him $1500.00 for the gold leaf job to the statue plus the stand of the buddha.

THAILAND BUDDHA

On the left is one of the popular thaliand buddha name Chinala. its fully mould of copper and standing at 16 inches. this statue was originally coated with gold paint and the owner wants to have a gold leaf job. my first step is to sand off the existing gold paint and make sure that the suface of the statue is clean and smooth. then, i need to coat it with a special anti rust paint mainly for copper usage to prevent it from rusting in future, 3rd step is to coat it with oil base sealer for a smoother finishing and for another layer for rust prevention.

interior house painting

this is a common front door of a common HDB flat. i've used black oil paint to paint the gate & door. i've added some flowers patterns on the door for a unique look b'coz most people don't really do much to their doors as there is nothing much for them to do except changing it. isn't it cheaper & special to have a one & only self designed painted door in ur neighbourhood??next is the big pc of wall in the living room. i've used brown for the repeat patterns design using free hand painting without any pencil sketching. then i've decided to use green for its base but i added some darker green to let the entire picture have better colour contrast. next is the pc of wall behind the plasma tv. alot of people likes to decor the tv wall with lots of items like photo frames or fancy lightings,but it is better to keep the background of the tv set simple so that we can really concentrate on the movies in the tv rather than the wall decors!! i've choose brown then slowly blant into beige colour to match the house furnitures. skills are definitely needed for nice and smooth blanting of 2 colours. then is the small wall in between the 2 bedrooms entrance. i've also used the same idea as the tv wall in order to match up the living room colour. just some simple decoration can be done (DIY) to bring some cozy feel to ur home.next is the bedroom's door, its a very basic plywood door that comes with a standard HDB flat and definitely unattractive. i've painted it to with darkbrown and toned it with some black to give it a natural raw wood finishing look. i've also design it to match with the bedroom's wardrobe's door. its much cheaper and hassle free to paint the door than to changed it!!

then its the most important part of the house, the master bedroom! we spent most of our intimate hours in this cozy little place so u gotta make ur sleep room as comfortable as possible. i've decided to painted the entire background of the bed to a wooden wall finishing and to match its furnitures colours, its simple but yet unique cos most painters do not have this ideas or skill needed to do the job.
lastly to introduce u is the most annoying parts of the house that doesn't look nice in whatever angle... yes,,, its all the sewage pipes and water pipes in the bathrooms and kitchens!! rich people have rich ways that is to construct wooden shelves or artificial cabinets to hide the pipes. its indeed a clever way but it doesn't comes cheap and if anything were to happen to those pipes, and repairs were needed to be done,, u've gotta tear down whatever u've constructed to hide the pipes due to obstruction. hence, i've come up with an idea of painting the pipes beautifully and proudly show it to the guests without much burning to ur pockets.. i've painted the pipes to look like tree trunks and added some twisting and curling plants crawling up the pipes. me myself thinks its a very great and cheap idea that i've come up with...hope u guys share the same thoughts..heehee.

"qian shou guan yin"

on the left is the statue of "qian shou guan yin" thousand hands goddess of mercy. its about 16 inches in height and made of wood. the statue was wholely gold-plated and some parts was broken. i've decided to put on some colours to its skin and re-gold the rest of the statue. its a very tough job due to its many many hands obstructing my movements of my brush. i used about 6 days to finish this project. the owner was very glad with my job. (this is one of my favourites finishing)

guan yin pu sa

on the left is a statue of "guan yin pu sa" made of wood. its about 16 inches in height. it might looks new and ok but the owner just find the statue not attractive and lively enough. i've re-gold plated the statue and changed its skin colours and re-drew its face feature. the owner was very glad with the end product and so was i. compare the pics for differences.

guan yin pu sa

this is another statue of "guan yin pu sa". its about 12 inches in height and its made of granite stone. its very heavy. as seen, the gold portions of the statue have came off due to wrong method of maintainence. the owner also wanted to add some colours to its skin. i've chosen a very light pinkish beige for the statue and added some "swarozki" crystals onto its clothing.

temple jln bahar

this is the statue after my 3 weeks of painting. i've used genuine hong kong gold leaves for some parts and changed much of the origin colours. i've used some very thick fishing line for the strings of the "pi pa" (chinese guitar) if you can see clearly, there are stains all over the face b'cos the chinese believe that all statues of god needs to be "kai guang" as in enlighten so that the soul of god can enter the statue.all the stains you see are human blood from tongue.i coated the statue with special protective varnish for better maintainence in future. (this is one of my favourite project)

temple jln bahar

on the left is a cement sculpture of (the 4 heavenly kings) "si da tien wang". its about the height of 2 adults and was custom design and sculpted in 1999. it was a very very long duration project due to the size of the figuring. in sept.08, they called us back for a repaint job. the sculpture was in quite bad shape when i went there at first, the ventilation was very poor so the smoke of all the incense were being trapped in the temple and thus the sculpture became very black and oily. i nearly can't see any cloured parts initially
