Even ghosts need to attend production briefing. Just another on set for a student film shoot. Glad it wasn’t night time yet when i arrived. Looking forward to this mockumentary. #filmproduction #mmu #storytelling

Been coming here since the 90s. Sometimes skipped tuition classes just to eat here. Still taste good.. One of the best chicken chop place in town. #food #nostalgia #oldschool

Another abstract art exercise; watercolor & ink on paper. So far these exercises help me explore more color palette in my art making. I usually do black/white. So this is quite refreshing process for me. #art #abstractartwork #sketch

[Amir Shahlan @spacemanAmir]

Of all the tools I’ve used…ink and design marker is my favorite. Fast, clean and immediate. Great medium for study and quick sketch. #art #sketch #figure

Basqueish…another exercise doing abstract painting #abstract #painting

[Amir Shahlan @spacemanAmir]

Another attempt on abstract art. Mixing it up with collages. Very chaotic for my taste but that’s the assignment. Small exercises to breakout of your comfort zone #art #abstract #practice

[Amir Shahlan @spacemanAmir]

I’m always oldschool when it comes to art making. Can’t beat oil or acrylic painting. It’s just so primal and authentic. But working digitally is another kind of magic. Blending both digital and traditional just creates more possibilities. #art #digitalart

[Amir Shahlan @spacemanAmir]

An unfinished work. Need to find time to do detailing. So much to do…so little time. #painting #acrylic #art

[Amir Shahlan @spacemanAmir]

For the longest time, I’ve avoided making abstract art. But as part of homework, i attempted few…just to get out of my comfort zone. So here’s one of them. #Abstract #mixmedia #collage

Screened “Empire Records” to Foundation students who are mostly if not all GenZ. They loved it. Time travel to a period when you had to go to a physical record store to discover music and yourself. #empirerecords #genrefilm #popculture #mmu

@adamzainaal Ah Jango..yeah. Episode 2 is really the heart of Anakin’s journey. Plus, seeing an army of Jedi in action was pretty epic.

[Amir Shahlan @spacemanAmir]

The Force is strong tonight. Really glad I get to experience this again in a cinema. Reminds me why I love film in the 1st place. Please screen Episode 2: Attack of the Clone! May the 4th be with you!

[Amir Shahlan @spacemanAmir]

@adamzainaal Sempat lagi. I think it’ll still be screened for few days.

[Amir Shahlan @spacemanAmir]

Ooooh, am teaching this class. Tempting!But I also have other books to buy😅 #book #goodread #bookworm #filmmaking

[Amir Shahlan @spacemanAmir]

@meekaH_madA Surprisingly they’re aware of the band and enjoy their music more than today’s musicians 🤷🏽

[Amir Shahlan @spacemanAmir]

A little bit of ‘ Bitter sweet symphony’ by The Verve before Pop Culture Studies will lighten up the crowd. ( if our Gen Z students know about the band that is) #class #lecture #popculture

[Amir Shahlan @spacemanAmir]

Fight club. Sketch of a figure getting ready for a fist fight. I’ve been watching too much UFC clips. Need to just chill and watch something else #Iink #Sketching #fight

[Amir Shahlan @spacemanAmir]

Once in a blue moon I would entertain a request or two to do someone’s portraiture. Takes few rounds of rough sketches to get it right. Easier if you do your own portrait. But hey, once in awhile , you gotta challenge yourself. #Watercolour #ink #portraits

[Amir Shahlan @spacemanAmir]

After weeks of online classes due to fasting and public holidays, finally doing physical lecture on campus. Hope students are ready for Pop Culture Studies. #class #Lectures #popculture

Getting kids to stand still and pose for the camera is like containing a tornado. I call them the Dizzy Devils #kids #celebration #drama
