Green, green grass of hope
Gone are the days that I draw for pleasure.
I have been taking jobs after jobs and after awhile, I lost the passion of doing it. I really need to take a BIG break soon after I clear pending works:
- 60 illustrations, of which I have only done 4 of them
- Pendidik magazine illustrations, of which I have 4 more issues to handle until end of this year
- Flower Guardians, I have 30 illustrations so far, promised to deliver 100.
After that, I just want to sit down, read books and draw for pleasure. Nothing more. Nothing less. I am so tired.
Anyway, my moleskine: 8 pages left. Drew the grass last weekend.

Same here. Dah jadi macam kalau tak jahit, tak dapat duit. Dah hilang seronoknya jahit tu.
