I'm a former librarian, from Singapore. The postings were library-related (mostly). I tended to ramble. As with things in life, my thoughts were incidental (i.e. insignificant). DISCLAIMER - Views expressed here were strictly my own and did not represent the official stand of my former employer. But you know that already.
When a librarian let loose the artist within and presents art, would you expect the collection to be garden variety?(Aside: for a small country like Singapore, there sure are many bloggers. )

Well, I'll be heading back to my alma mater soon to complete my Fine Arts degree. Been hankering to spending more time with my canvas and brushes lately. It's been too long.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope you'll start an art blog or something : )
ReplyDeleteI used to draw, Ivan, and all through primary school I wanted to be a cartoonist when I grew up! This ambition was squashed by my Standard 5 teacher who told me not to be stupid, that cartooning never made anyone rich... I haven't drawn for years, but your art blog is starting to make me think/dream again... :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and congratulations too :) I've enjoyed looking at your pictures!
ReplyDeleteThanks CW. See, I had that kind of advice too though no one said it was stupid. But I realised I saw it the wrong way -- I shouldn't just limit myself to seeing Art as a career only. I should just enjoy my brand of art for what it primarily is -- a means to express self-fulfilment and happiness. If I can make money out of it, well and good. If not, there's always the day job.
