Mixed media artwork made using Photoshop CS5, my bamboo tablet and home-made watercolour splats.
Sleeping, Talking and Eating are a necessary part of everyone's lives, but there are some who give themselves entirely to these three things to the extent that they disregard almost everything else. As a result, they waste their time and themselves away without having achieved anything at all.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I CAME UP WITH THIS IN JUST ONE DAY!!
'Talk' for 'work'? Hmmm...yes, that does apply too, doesn't it? Then again, when you think about it, there are so many things we do to waste away our lives. Here, the challenge was to use just three things and that is why you have 'sleep', 'talk' and 'eat'.
It comes from my feeling of being a slave to money, sacrificing most of my time and energy doing something I personally consider useless just to get paid and at times it can become so exhausting that I feel like sleeping and eating are the only things I do besides work... Not really what I expected when I was at school, full of high hopes and expectations...
I'm really sick of it and right now I'm gathering all my will and power to make huge changes in my life... to LIVE again But the saddest thing is I see so many people around me who feel the same yet they've already resigned and accepted this horror as something they are not able to change - often with their parents'/relatives' "support" - the kind of sh*t like: "You have to cope with it - life is hard, your dreams are unreachable and you can't be really happy." - which is *THE SINGLE WORST LIE EVER*!!!
Ah! That's why you felt that way~ Well, I'm still a student and have never worked, so coming from my perspective, I couldn't see it that way yet.
Yes, things can be quite tiring when one is in this creative field. As a full time student, I'm starting to see that myself! Sometimes, I just hate not having any 'me-time' and force it on myself by neglecting my work. Time Management is such a crucial thing~
And you know what they say, if you aren't enjoying it, then you either need to rediscover it, or just stop =/ And yea, family...sometimes, you can't count on them for your decisions. But at times you can too! For me, I would have probably quit art and design completely and gone into journalism had my dad not pushed me last year. That's where this artwork came from. It was part of the requirements for entering into the university! Thankfully, I made it in~
