i have heard a lot from emerging artist, young artists, most annoying, those young art students with daddy's money in the pockets.
"I'm doing art because of passion, not money...."
ok, i respect you kid, but, before you walk it alone without big daddy behind you, dont make statements like that ok, it might bite you back in the artistic ass of yours.
a lot of artist are surviving on art projects funded by someone else, probably a patron of some sort, my point, artist always need the support. need!
grants, commission, prizes, paychecks are always good....not forgetting the passion though, the fuel that you started with from day 1.
tangan jalan, mulut ... dont brag too much kids, when seniors said you have to work hard, they werent kidding. kerja mau rajin kids.

Juggling
Balancing between work and art is hard.
But I have to face the consequences of my choices.
Neither one should be diminished, but there will be sacrifices, Here and there. Which is ok for me.
Come to realize this situation, i am fortunate ones who got it good.
My priority are both. Which will bring some speed bump along the way. It's OK. All is good. Art goes on...
The picture I shared is where my work and art collide. In the end, both shall prevail. ..

welcome to malaysia, now go home.
Title: "Just Kidding"
Media: Linocut on paper
Size: 29.5 x 41.5 cm (A3)
One of my latest linocuts, not really the best, but for now this would do, perhaps.
The Cracko Art Group will be opening an outlet very soon, very very soon. The gang is currently busy making merchandises and stuff for the new space.
for now we're just thinking of selling merch in the CAG shop. perhaps we can do something else soon, but maybe not for now.
hope we get to make more friends at the new joint. see u soon.

Egn Going To Japan
I was selected to join this awesome curatorial workshop.
we were given a task.
propose an art project related to curation, theme "future curation now".
three got selected to be given funding.
I was one of the three.
the funding includesd a weeks study trip to Tokyo Japan.
So, I'll be packing my bags again very soon.
my hope with my art project: to bring Sabah Art Scene to a whole different level. hopefully.
here some clippings from the Japan foundation Website:
The Japan Foundation will be holding “Curators’ Workshops” from this year as part of the cultural-collaboration program for Southeast Asia. Workshops have already been held in February and March of this year in Jakarta and Manila, and one will be held again this June in Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok.
The concept and role of “curators” depend entirely on the institutions, history and environments of the arts of each country. Therefore, what we aim to achieve in and from the workshops is to develop a shared understanding of the similar problematics, and, through extensive discussions, to explore each of the “curatorship” roles in the artistic fields in Japan and Southeast Asian countries. From this, we seek to establish the artistic field’s network of the next-generation.
After this workshop, we will invite a few young curators from four countries to Japan in August and September, and develop a shared awareness of the conditions and situations in Japan. With these processes, we plan to organize exhibitions and art projects in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand during the year 2014.
here's the link for further info, grants and future projects can be seen here...come see:
