In early 2019, I decided to go back to Dunedin, New Zealand and
try to be productive and active and find ways I could exhibit my artworks in
any way possible (mostly at Otago Art Society, because you could submit any
works as long, they 're not "too bad"). Unlike in 2018, I was really
resting and taking my time.
Near end of 2018, I bought a new camera that comes with a flip
screen so I could take high-quality selfie... for artwork purpose.
Enough blabbing, here is a small I series I made with my adornment
for dried Scottish Thistle. These spiky plants have puffy, fluffy seeds that
flies everywhere like a fairy in late summer. A little bit like dandelion but
not really. At least I used to think they are always similar.

Soon afterwards I became
occupied between my job, creating comics and internship at Natural History of
New Zealand(NHNZ for short). Painted a work for a competition and I've doodled
a lot more during that period and have also went thru some changes in life,
which I managed myself an Art Tutor position in Auckland. I have to pack my
baggage and leave Dunedin near August. However- after two weeks at the new job
I decided the place is not for me regardless all the hope I used to have. Then
drifting for months as I pick up another temporary job- quit again as this new
year is coming through. Nevertheless, the struggling and hardship I have faced
this year, I'm looking forward into 2020, looking forward to having a peaceful
time in my-to-have-studio and create paintings I've longed to.
Thanks 2019 See you soon 2020.
