Gosh, thanks to my assignments in college I barely go on DeviantArt anymore. I just don't have the time anymore!
Boohoo, sob sob.....
Oh well, at least I'm actually learning a lot from the assignments.
Before entering college, I didn't know poster colour was called "poster colour" , all I knew was that it was Buncho and it came in sets.
The only painting I ever did (pre-college) was a mixture of all the colours in a 24-colour poster colour set that filled up one piece of paper.
I never knew Acrylic existed.....
I never even knew there was such thing as Oil paint.
Well, anyways, right now I'm stuck with this A0 sized still life drawing. And the composition my lecturer set up is FUCKING CRAZY and HUGE.
I spent one whole day finishing just the outline, and about half a day for contour lines and basic shading.
We're given 3 weeks to finish it. Great. At the rate this is going, I don't think I'd finish it in 3 weeks. Maybe 3 and half, or 4.
Oh well, toodles.....
(Yes, toodles)

Stereotypes among Artists.
2 min read
So, this has been bothering me for quite a while.
Obviously, it came as a shock to my parents and to my friends that I switched my course from Graphic Design to Fine Art. At least in my country, Malaysia its a shock. The art scene in Malaysia is honestly not great. It takes A LOT for an artist to make it in here.
Of course, those closest to me were supportive. My friends, my parents second. It took tons of effort to prove to my parents that this is really what I wanted. Most of my friends knew that this is my true passion, and its what I can do really good in.
But one day as I was sitting down with my 2 closest friends, and a college mate of mine. We were just chatting as usual at the "mamak" , when my college mate, I won't use names, so I'll call her C.
C asked me; hey John, are you really sure you want to change your course to Fine Art?
Me: Yea
C: Really? Are you SURE this is what you really want?
Me: Yes, ABSOLUTELY sure. Why?
C: *shrugs, and rolled her eyes away from me like I was crazy and disgusting* Okay, nothing. Just asking.
Seriously, don't do that. This pisses me off so much, I can't believe you off all people would say and/or do something like that to me.
Why does this stereotype even exist in the first place?! Why do stereotypes in GENERAL even exist?! You mock us for being idiots, chasing something that is impossible to reach. A dream, that is just a dream. Nothing more.
You mock us for not being successful, when you people yourselves don't buy our artworks that WE artists worked so hard for.
I can't put how I feel right now about this exactly in words. So forgive me.
I'll just end this right now.
OPEN UP YOUR MINDS PEOPLE.
