Art?

Wow, I'm actually updating this thing three days in a row for nobody to read. Yeay! Anyway, I had a real productive day. My brain today is somewhat cooperative and functioning despite me waking up so prematurely on a freaking holiday especially when I slept pretty late last night (1am is late for me). Sleeping late has never done me good. Gives me eye-ache......you know that stuff? It's like headache, except it's for the eye.

So I had my breakfast and quickly get started on my group assignments because I got all panicky about the due dates and started imagining doomsday with sun rising from the west and metal kitchen utensils floating in the air. I always do that goddammit. Fortunate for me, ideas just kept flowing through my mind, enough for me to actually generate ideas for the campaign proposal, magazine design and video assignments woop! I was pretty pleased with myself for once lol.

My favourite assignment would actually be the magazine design. I know right, favourite assignment. Who gets a favourite assignment these days anyway. We get to design stuffs using adobe photoshop/illustrator/indesign. I'm secretly thanking my 15 year old self for learning photoshop and making my life less miserable this sem.

Well generally, it's my favourite assignment because I like art. You can say that I like it enough to actually spend my time on it. I've spent hours of my "supposingly" revision/study time to draw on something. Hey, I need a break once in a while.

It all started when my good friend got me nail polishes for my birthday thinking I need to groom myself more often.

Aha, I appreciate her so courageously bold attempt. They did turn out to be quite handy though. On most of the things that does not involve my nails. Okay I did use maybe um, 5% of it on my nails lol. The rest are on stuffs like these, if you haven't seen it (with a huge help from Sharpies!):

My latest: Marine themed phone case

I sure as hell spent lots of time on those stuffs, but they were worth every bit. I once resided into crazy thoughts of ditching uni and make a living out of these because I'm sick of being forcefully fed academically. But then I think again, forget it. I'll probably die of toxin inhalation before I make my first thousand bucks.

So, the question I always get: why am I not doing arts? Actually, I do find myself asking the same damn thing. But there's a difference between loving something and having actual talent. I, unfortunately, don't have enough talent in arts. I mean anyone can do all that (pictures above). If you ask me to draw a portrait of someone I'm gonna...just gonna just give you a stickman. My stickman will do more justice to my poor specimen than any of my portrait attempts.

That's as far as my talent goes. Truth be told, I see myself as an all rounder. I don't suck (maybe moderately) in most of the things but I'm not good either. Sports, writing, public speaking (used to suck so bad but I'm improving), designing, dancing, end of thinking capacity.

In conclusion, I've decided that art will stay as my hobby.
Yeap.
