falling in love with a star


It's been a while since I've done these random pieces of work! haha perhaps I was inspired by the trip with Nette to random art shops where we tried to absorb the arty-farty vibes from our pretty surroundings. It really made me feel like attending some quality Art & Craft lessons, and if anyone has good (and reasonably priced) recommendations, please let me know! I want to learn how to make fantastic art pieces that are NON-digital in nature. Not that I have anything against digital art, it's just it doesn't feel as authentic somehow. Maybe it's just me.

Anyway, one of my greatest wishes is to draw really well. But I probably don't have the patience to pick up drawing now. I think my frequent use of softwares such as Photoshop, Flash and Illustrator has somehow tuned my body to the frequency of immediacy. Subscribed to the notion that everything can and has to be be done fast and well, I have lost the willingness to slowly plow through the readings and practices that are quintessential to picking up any form of skill.

Perhaps some day I will finally be able to sit back and take my time to master the things I really want to learn. But that some day is probably in a few decades' time.
