Many works fail and, mind us saying, whiter to the wrong colors. So instead of fighting compromise with the hostile hues and tones, let us suggest a quicker and more effective method -- forget (yes, forget!) the existence of colors, all together!

Hardly think it's possible? Perhaps Khairudin Lee could show you a trick or two. First: go pick any artwork out of his portfolio. Second: trying playing the contrast, sliding the hues and dropping the brightness (and believe us, we've tried and tested) and chances are, you will still end up with the uniform mood and theme -- that disturbingly-screeching oppression.

And that's what we love about the works of this 20-year-old emerging talent from the concrete shores of South-East Asia -- tastefully sprinkled with a tad bit of the Gothic paprika, and loaded with high levels of 'convenience' and versatility.

If, for a while, you thought that was amazing (or disturbing...), apply that to your own art. Go from pink to red, blue to purple. Unless the idea you had intended was 'constipation', the final result should not turn out anything synonymous to that. Good turnouts may just exchange your sleepless nights before Photoshop for some sleepless nights in Seattle.

Before we proceed on and on and have you believe we are antagonists towards Pantone, here's a bit about Lee and his work (and for people in the know, we DO love 'PMS'):

"...the philosophy behind my works, I simply shoot with a concept or story in mind beforehand and I just click away, of course taking into consideration the other technical aspects in photography; lighting, composition etc etc. Shoot with your heart and mind and be open to constructive comments and criticism because that is the only way to better oneself and improve."

Be pleasantly confused. Now, you wonder why Andy Warhol got so huge.
