"These Tears..." work in progress

Apologies for the lack of posts! In all honesty, I'm quite bad with keeping up with social media so I tend to leave out a platform and forget about it. I suppose I'm prioritising the ones that people pay attention to the most because let's face it, us creatives need to make some form of living still. But I think it's good for one's mental & emotional health to do things for oneself too. I'm a pretty passionate and imaginative person so I always have a lot on my mind and a blog is perfect for that! Even if it's mostly to clear my own mind since people take preference for Facebook and IG these days, it'll be good for me. For like those very few of you that like to read long winded posts - enjoy! 

So I have yet another new piece I am working towards, I'm pretty excited for it as I am moving towards a Chinese/oriental infused theme and will be incorporating elements that I have never before. However, I do recognise that I am honestly still a bit of a noob when it comes to acrylics (I'm used to pencil art only) so I'm trying to practice a bit before being overly ambitious with project ideas. So here's a little practice piece below! If you haven't read my bio or know me well, I have quite a complex with my identity - I've been very isolated from the Asian part of my identity as I live in a place where I am a minority even amongst minorities. My life has been filled with misunderstanding and even straight up ridicule because of this so it's super exciting for me to feel like I'm finally at a place in my life where I'm confident enough to flaunt that side. It doesn't matter if people don't understand or accept this side of me, because art should not have boundaries (with a few exceptions) and art is allowed to be purely for the artist - everyone else is just a spectator who should have little to no involvement or influence.
