I just sent 2 quotations for 2 different jobs. and i am feeling quite pissed cause obviously either someone is undercharging all these people OR these people think designers feed on air and the grass by the roadside. Don't do this to your design market okay fellow designers. This country already only has this little regards for design and art scene people, (even though they keep saying that they wanna promote art and design blah blah blah blah blah) if you are going to continue charging peanuts for your works, we're all gonna get peanut pay. Sigh.
I went to BooksActually today and i bought 2 items. I knew i had to get something from that shop after watching their video my friends shared on facebook and i teared. I felt silly for tearing over that video but I knew why i had tears; i feel like i know how they feel even though they definitely would have been through more and slogged more. Its just.. Singaporeans are really not that interested. Like when i was at MAAD tending Loop's booth, I realised how foreigners are much more willing to pay for our works. Its kinda sad. :/ and i'm glad to see people like that being so passionate. I love what i do. but i think if it doesnt make me enough money, i may consider something else. You're going to say " that means you don't love what you do enough. " and i'd like to say.. i do. i really do love design and i love illustrating and crafts but, i think i need to be practical.
its 3am. and i'm thinking about the things on my to-do list. supposedly the world should end today cause its the 21st of december but no. and i wonder if someone actually really thinks the world will end and went to spend his/her entire fortune on things that they might not need. that person would have something to worry about tmr.
I should sleep now. Hope the cookies and cakes turns out good tmr. and i also hope that the weather is nice enough for a good swim. :)
