Artists House #2

This is the place where the ideas, concept and artworks are created. There are some artists who think that this is the most important in his life, and some even regard it as a "sacred" place. However the reason it became commonplace, because when the atmosphere is conducive then artists shall work and coming up with their ideas way better. When the exhibition schedule is accumulate, the studio is full of material stuffs such as papers, canvases, frames, and so on. When artists "be on vacation" then the studio was deserted and quiet. Arguably this is the artists office. so, Welcome to the studio.

Around Braga

One spot that I've always visit when I go back to Bandung is Jalan Braga. I always took time for a walk at the afternoon there. Starting from Jalan Cikapundung, some stamps makers are becoming a unique view. Then I walking towards the north until Jalan Braga signboard appear. This road has  historical value for the citizens. In the first 1920s, many Dutch businessman set up shop here. As for the boutique that takes a collection of Paris at the time. Some of Old Dutch East Indies architectural was still standing until now. Some of it has been modified. It's just a swap shop functions. One of the stores I've encountered was a cake shop "Sumber Hidangan". Their homemade ice cream is popular because it's tasty. Dutch language menu and "oldskool" atmosphere characterizes this store. I've also seen the "venue" of old motorbike club ini Bandung, it names "Brotherhood". The thing is this would be an inspiring place for me.
