the pain is when you know they are gone..
losing someone close is painful..
this moment is for the faithfully departed,
in our minds in our hearts, they live forever
the greatest..
hope this eases the pain.
But I'll miss you when you're gone, that is what I do
And it's going to carry on, that is what I do.
When You're Gone by The Cranberries (1996)

i havent said this b4, but the past 6 months has forced me to review my current actions and wat i set out to do. is it ever possible to maintain a balance between the art & the craft? yet another question, sticking with something that works and has been known to sell or trying something else and hope it works?
its gettin harder to work with mrF, too sporadic and no emphasis on control. alvin's and peter's exhibition is currently on-going at sculpture square. hopefully alvin gets the best out of his deal wif bakerzinn and soon we can see his stuff there. pple from esplanade came down to talk with raymond, he maybe getting his solo show soon.
covered nafa fine art awards pro bono. the sponsor's said to be pulling out, there may not be a part 4.
it seems having our own skylight studio has its pros and cons. pros: we have privacy, quiet and a nice working environment. cons: we become reliant, and we lose touch with everything else happening around us.
so come on, tell me.
Monday, August 11, 2008 @ 11:26 pm: blardy good day todae... arrrrhhhhhh!
work was busy today, but KS dropped by and Angie came early. Shiok, the studio has not been this lively in a long time. Martin is talking about subletting his studio out to cope wif rising rental fees or he's moving out in september. will miss this small cosy studio.
Raymond has been pushing me really hard for drawings. maybe he see's something that i don't. going about it from a new perspective, instead of my 'noir', now its colorful ahaha. drawings done by us locals and our china classmates are different. Tianming demonstrated to me the 'geometric' system that they pick up as default in china. me, i look for tones and contrast first.
left $100 at the atm, forgot to take. dumb mistake, but otherwise its a gd day!
rachel n belle, 2nd flight alreadi. take care and stay safe.
so come on, tell me.

cool: finished MerryWeMeet's band press photos.
not so cool: major hours reduced from 12 to 6. Studio and darkroom access restricted to
conform to 'normal' operating' hours. estates department, pffffhhhhh..
totally uncool: switching majors on the assumption that its easier. its cheap.
this is my most undiplomatic post in a long time, reflects my mood.
caught the olympics opening ceremony, saw the 200+ different contingents from all over the globe and once again struck by wanderlust. i wanna visit iceland. roll in the grass, breathe in the air, jump in the mud, climb the hills, swim in the river..
i am SO going to iceland.
so come on, tell me.

12:36 am: things in life
It's not everyday we're gonna be the same way
there must be a change somehow
there are bad times and good times too
So have a little faith in what you do
cause you don't seem to realize
the things you've got to face in life
today you're up, tomorrow you're down
so thank God that you're still around town
Though we've got to work like slaves
just to eat a piece of bread
but as we go along each day we'll find
happiness to sooth the mind cause
it's not everyday we're gonna be the same way
there must be a change somehow
there are bad times and good times too
So have a little faith in what you doThings In Life by Dennis Brown (1986)
This is for you..
so come on, tell me.
Sunday, July 27, 2008 @ 1:32 pm: the personal struggle
interesting interesting, chatting wif rachel makes me laugh, n ponder.
everyone has their own personal struggle or struggles, its a fact, need no statistics to back it up. wats interesting is tat through the personal struggle, glimpses of the 'real' person can be seen. lets not get into the wats real or wats unreal kinda debate but understand tat once you know abt the 'struggle', u are in fact gazing into the very being of that person, and in that way, you are seeing the person as she/he realli is, no facade no camouflage.
the idea of the 'perfect' portrait is that of which defines the identity of the sitter. and the tricky part is the identity, who creates the identity? the sitter or by the people arnd her/him? and if the identity is defined by the people around, isnt it then alreadi their interpretation and their take instead of a true representation? something to think about.
the next time im doing a portraiture, i'll keep that in mind..
so come on, tell me.
