Sketch of the day in my Daler Rowney art journal is a super quote from Dr Seuss: You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
Enjoy your weekend and choose wisely xoxo
I love George Town Festival. Every year I visit the events and review them on my blog. My friends ask me about which exhibitions to visit because they see on facebook that I’ve been to them all and I’ve done the leg work. As an artist based in Penang, it is incredible to have a month long arts festival. It is the time for me to see what other creatives are doing and to share ideas.
This year you can read all about it in Harper’s Bazaar Malaysia and follow my insiders guide to the festival.
Tiffany Choong’s George Town Fringe | Harper’s Bazaar Malaysia
“Two weeks in and BAZAAR Stylish Woman 2014, as well as Bulan Lifestyle bag designer and artist, Tiffany Choong, leads us through the sights and sounds, curious little side paths (and, of course, cocktails and cafés) of George Town during the ubiquitous George Town Festival 2015 — when an entire city is turned into a thriving arts and cultural hub for a whole month, even garnering international coverage. The brainchild of Joe Sidek, it’s literally when art takes to the streets and everyone, from all walks of life — from entrepreneur to auteur — participates. From her favourite after-hours drink spot — Chulia Court on 355 Lebuh Chulia for their fresh pineapple mojitos, thank you — to where you should go for a little post-festival Shavasana, harpersbazaar.my presents 10 things to try when you’re in Penang this August.”

Today’s sketch of the day in my moleskine art journal is of antique turkish ceramic wood stove heater from Istanbul.
This is what I’ve learnt since I started my sketch of the day: You don’t have to be great to start but you have to start to be Great!
I was scared at the beginning to put my drawings on paper. I was afraid people would laugh at my work and I was afraid of failure. That little voice is still there, but I know that I’m getting better and nearer to succeeding. I have come too far to give it all up. It has taken my 481 baby day steps to get here. The journey will continue and it won’t be easy, I have to remind myself to take each day as it comes.
I am thankful.
