What To Do In 2026

Image
Hello everyone and I hope you've all had a happy Christmas and new year! Like every year that's done and dusted, it'll be worth reflecting the good things that have happened plus the bad things. Knowing what things have gone wrong earlier, the best thing to do is work out what next to make things better. I can still remember on my last appointment with my psychiatrist, he insists I should learn from the bad experiences and do things to make the situations better and/or even not fall into these problems again. And it'll be worthwhile for every time the new year arrives, it's understandable how the concept of new years resolutions occur. My new years resolutions are to initiate new things and continue on with the things I'm currently succeeding. This is what this post will be all about. Firstly, I'm carrying on with my artistic movement. Towards the end of last year, I have managed to finish this little tribute painting of the late rapper Fatman Scoop. For 2 y...

A Second Round of Art Exhibitions

Hello again and believe it or not, we're approaching the end of the year of 2025. On my end, many things happened even when it's tough and good but overall, it's been a better year than previously. And still, my journey to become a legitimate artist persists. Let's start off in February. In February, SECAN kicked off this year with their first Affordable Arts exhibition. The whole idea is members such as myself exhibit our artworks we can sell with the maximum price of $100 AUD. There, I have displayed my drawing titled An Aussie Dimetrodon and my old Bored Face painting. But sadly, none were sold. Regarding An Aussie Dimetrodon, this spurred my unique subject matter. That happened earlier as we're under the course of winter, I see people complaining about cold and miserable weather being winter. With the idea of featuring a Dimetrodon, I know for the fact they're prehistoric reptiles before the age of dinosaurs and being reptiles meant they're cold-blooded ...

Every Avenue

Hello and welcome again. It's been a year since I have moved back to my parents' house but I wasn't wanting to throw away my life I have built up myself. There have had been serious hurdles particularly with work but for those who just got into this post, let me recap what has gone on. Throughout the start of this year, I was let's say underemployed. Rostered on very little days, sometimes none. That landed me in a serious rut to the point that if I had to leave Repco where I'm currently employed, my life would might as well be over. I tried to go with recruitment services. I hoped to go with Centrelink to get myself into an employment agency but because I'm partly on a Disability Support Pension, they'll only allow me to be put into a disability employment service and only get me to work a maximum of 8 hours a week. This is nowhere near ideal for me but luck had stricken when the Pakenham Repco store called me to fill in and I'm glad that I've accep...

From Art to Working on Cars

Hello everyone and won't you believe it's been 3 years since I've initiated this whole blog of mine! Earlier, I had the intention to utilise this blog for when I'll hope to do my project car for my bucket list but I hadn't gone that far yet. As I get knocked around as life goes by, I can make use of myself learning from the good and bad things which I can demonstrate though other posts I've published along the way. There's one significant thing in my life I have established (restarted more) which is art as I've always had strong artistic abilities since growing up. Recently, this is one painting I want to start off with. With my escape to the National Gallery of Victoria reignited my passion of art, I grabbed my easel, oil paints, brushes and the canvas and managed to achieve this painting titled Abstract Mrs Brinks. That was completed in March 2023 but there's more. This is my second painting titled Black Sheep Banned. That provided the next step of...
