Being one half of Lully Selb can get very pressurizing, as I handle the business side of things as well as keeping the brand as creative as possible. It is also a very big myth that creativity is only about art, music and dance. To me, in today's challenging times, being creative is a survival skill. To run a business, manage a household, work in an organisation; creativity is needed. So what is creativity? My definition is to think out of the box and seeing things in a fresh perspective, not just splattering paints or doing a new dance movement. The next question is how can one be creative? Or for me - stay creative? There are many ways out...
I'm back on the blog to share with you our thought process with 3 brand new artists for our second cycle of #DreamwithLS. Lully Selb believes in challenging the status quo and expressing our unique individuality. We are always proud to feature our collaborating artists as this campaign brings us closer to our local creative community; no matter what craft the artists specialise in. Through the exposure on our platform and our expertise, they are able to foresee the exciting possibilities of where their craft can go (like on a shawl for a start!) at zero risk as all production costs are absorbed by us. The artists get to earn royalty fees too! However, being a creative myself, it's important...
It's been a while since we blogged! Today I'm sharing with you the inspiration behind Terra Terra print. The history of Terrazzo goes a along way. In our Asian context, we always see them in charming dainty houses. Now, it's trending in tableware and interior designers incorporate them in commercial spaces.

It reminds me of painter Rene Magritte's artwork- Portrait of Stephy Langui While looking around for inspiration, I chance upon Concrete Collaborative who manufactures their own concrete and terrazo in California an Vietnam. Here arep some pictures behind the scenes of how terrazzo are...
Hey guys, firstly, thank you so much for getting our latest #LSwithyou prints. They are almost sold out! As you know, this time round we have 2 new artists; Jie Wei and Bok Loong who each have their own challenges and disabilities. Today, I'd like to share with you more about how I met Jie Wei and a little bit more about her. Was so difficult to ask her questions so I had to keep the interview simple and not too stressful. I was introduced to her when I was working with my art collective, BE where we were asked to coach a budding artist and produce artworks for an exhibition. The theme was Locality, Memories, Reconstruction. I also found...
It's already coming to the end of March, how is everyone's 2019? It seems like it was only last week that we had our VIP Prints Collectors Club brunch session! Selb and I had already planned ahead last year that we will be launching new products every quarter of 2019. Just in time with our popular campaign #LSwithYou, we have two new artists, two printed shawls and printed coasters! We found quality absorbent coasters with great printing finishing which would make statement conversational piece when guests come over . Or gifting ideas for your friends who just got their new house. The first artist, Jie Wei worked with Selma during last year's BE Collective exhibition. They were inspired by the...
