“Smile” Alf Sukatmo. Pencil on paper. 2014
A warming up drawing after two and half weeks hiatus. It’s quite messy, and losing my details.

Mari Berpura-pura
“A Portrait of hapiness” by Alf Sukatmo. Pencil on paper.
Mari kita berpura-pura
Berbekal spanduk usang bekas iklan rokok
Bergambar pantai nan indah
Walau telah sobek dan bertambal di sana-sini
Mari kita bentangkan ia di rumah
Seolah di pantai itulah kita berlibur
Ku siapkan tikar untuk alas duduk nanti
Kau tanaklah nasi untuk makan siang kita
Hanya nasi saja, sudah cukup
Jadi bekal yang mewah untuk kita
Ah, lihat, kita pun bisa bahagia
Sini, biar kupeluk dirimu
Kemudian seperti sepasang kekasih dimabuk cinta
Kita bergumul
Di lantai tanah bak di atas pasir rasanya
Terengah
Menuntaskan gairah yang purba
Kita bahagia
….Atau karena kita tak tahu lagi apa arti pura-pura

Perfection
“Mr and Mrs Perfect” by Alf Sukatmo. Pencil on paper.
Oh how perfect your life is
You drove your mercedes
Nice clothes and fancy dresses
You enjoy your spotlight on the media
Smiling face fake laughter
But Sir
Would you care to make other peope life perfect
But Ma’am
Would you care to give a hand to the homeless child
Everyday
You drink on their poverty
Like you drink your cola
