“Nature doesn’t fit into a geometric notion of what the world should be. It is that naturalness I find the hardest to capture.”
Maya Lin

“Geometric shapes hold an energy pattern, and scientists did some experiments which say certain geometric shapes can affect matter around them. It’s simply because when a human looks at a shape, they instantly receive energy from their brain.”
Tom DeLonge

“Inspiration is needed in geometry, just as much as in poetry.”
Alexander Pushkin

Oh Christmas lights
Light up the street
Light up the fireworks in me
May all your troubles soon be gone
Oh Christmas lights keep shining on

As this year of 2019 is coming to an end soon, we have one last joyful occasion to look forward to (other than my own monthsary) – CHRISTMAS! 🎅🏻🎄☃️❄️
This year has been a really hectic year for me. Especially after I left my full-time job at Singtel in July, I committed myself to making several artworks non-stop for Taenggu, SNSD members and her family, and made it a point to meet each and every deadline to have both the artwork ready and its accompanying full write-up post published on the actual day of each occasion. It is an achievement I’ve managed to accomplish this year.
This Christmas is no exception that I would make my own christmas cards too. However, due to various concerns like time and budget constraints, practicality and feasibility, rather than making cards for so many other SM artistes whom I may not be so familiar with, I decided to scale down and limit the cards to only the current 8-member SNSD whom I’m truly a fan of. I guess making cards for my true idols to express my love for them unconditionally would make me feel more free and sincere about making them without expecting anything in return. (not sure if I’m explaining myself here in the right way without offending anyone 🤔)
Anyway, my this year’s christmas card design concept is about geometry. Each card has a geometric animal/icon that I think suit the image of each member the best. These are the objects that I’ve come to associate each member with over the years; you can call these my very own spiritual totems/symbols/representation for them. And the cards I’ve chosen are metallic silver ones decorated with clear crystal studs I added on my own to give an overall shining effect. They are so bling bling that it shines straight into your eyes! Hahaha. 😜✨
So the following are the cards for each SNSD member coupled with a quote in the inner page along with it.
