Earlier last night while I was unsuccessfully willing my entire brain region to come up with a topic to artblog about, a friend buzzed me over MSN at precisely 4min after midnight and ask me what was I doing. I replied that I was doing my usual ‘seeking of the elusive spark of creative’ to artblog about. After that she pretty much commented that i was ‘siao’ and ‘too eng’ to be doing this in the office and coming back home for another round. She deduced that if I keep this up every night, I am going to end up obese and sexless and dead from massive rupture of blood vessels in my brain in front of my computer.
So why do i do it? Call it god complex if you will then. I mentioned briefly before that all designers/artists do have a bit of that in all of us. The good ones especially have a surging desire to create regradless who’s buying into our work or not. This blog is my evergoing rockstar worldtour – A stage where my uncompromise belief that being WHO I AM is doing something i relish in, something which I am proud of and strive to be better at always. At the end of the day, when I am planted 6 feet under a heap of carbon compost, my headstone can read – Here lies Hendra, a designer in his little ways. Yupe… I think I will be pretty happy with that.
I know what you blog readers are thinking – What in the world would possess me to design and blog about a mere day call ‘Wednsday’? Doesn’t this designer have better things to do? Like draw more fluffy cartoons or create more visuals to sell more beauty products?
The interesting thing about Wednesday to me is that it’s always a crossroad between of 2 opposite emotion. Being in the middle of the week, Wednesday doesn’t give me the overwhelming dread and despair of the much hated Monday and yet it is hardly the full blown euphoric adoration of any given Friday. Wednesday’s feeling are more like a tinkle of anticipation, a beacon of light at the end of the tunnel if you will, a reminder of the good things to come on a weekend. Time with friends, family and yourself – to have nothing remotely to do with work. I can’t say for all of you, but I personally rather like these feelings that come with Wednesday.
So ladies and gentleman readers of my blog, please join me and raise your hands in salutation and recognition to the much under appreciation day that we come to know as Wednesday.
