People think I'm strange. They've always wonder what goes on in my head and what happens in my room every night. I don't blame them. People are scared of what they don't understand. And they don't understand why my mind is so twisted, filled with characters and colours and strange things. My sis-in-law, after she sees a new artwork I've produced she would ask, "Are you feeling ok.....????!!!You're crazy!How can anyone do this!" She also mentioned she's so amazed with what I do with my art that its almost....scary. (Really???)

I find that pretty amusing actually. But yet very honoured and happy that what I do with my art can give viewers a reaction like this. Because...this is my exact reaction when I see artworks by Takashi Murakami. He is my one true art hero. I am awed by his talents and I would really wanna open up his head and look inside! When I was a younger artist, I've always told myself, "when I grow up, I wanna be just like him!" He has so much impact in my art and will continue to be so.

Strange art makes me happy. So strange to look at but also, it makes you want to see more. I think that's very important when an artist creates a masterpiece. So to answer my sis-in-law, yes. I am feeling VERY alright. Like a happy stick of TNT about to explode and fill the air with all things strange. I am happy because I'm always high on my art... ...Rainbows running through my veins... ...Butterflies and characters living in my head.

Yes, I am strange but this is who I am.

I've been slacking too much,really.
Not been actively promoting my artworks thou I've been churning out art pieces regularly. Work in the office is tiring. I wish there are more than 24 hours in a day. Here I am! So many things I want to do but not enough funds to go around! I hope to design/produce a set of collectable vinyl toys / publish a graphic book of my own / create a website(which I know nuts about it).

I feel..being an artist. You not only need talent, you'll need some luck too. Doing the right thing at the right time with the right people can land you in a world of opportunities. Figured I can't hide in my hole and keep all these work to myself. I want the world to come into my strange world and play with my characters. I want my art/characters to bring joy to people, inspire them.

I hope to meet new people/mentors/clients and make new friends. I might not be Takashi Murakami but I am working on it. Of course I wunt be EXACTLY like him. But it doesn't hurt to dream big.

Hopefully, Lady Luck would tap on my shoulder this time.
