The Digital Dreams group art exhibition will be on ‘til September 9, so drop by while you still can!  More details here.

Well, the opening of the show was kind of amazing.  I was pretty much running on adrenaline, nervous tension, sugar and sheer will power on the day.  Due to Manifest, I had only a WEEK to prepare for the show, and I was fucking frantic.  Those of you who know me are aware that I’m usually pretty zen about most things, and it takes a lot to stress me out, but oohh shiatsu was I stressed.  I guess when it comes to things that matter most to me, I take it very, very seriously.  (Way too seriously.)  And of course, everything that could possibly go wrong, well, did.  My carefully (read: loosely) planned schedule fell to shit and I was still setting up an hour before the show.  

While it was a great honour to be a part of my first show (with a group of talented digital artists), the best thing about the night was the people who came to see me.  For over three hours, familiar faces kept flowing through the doors: acquaintances, old highschool friends, uni friends, friends to whom I hadn’t seen nor spoken for years, and people I didn’t even know were interested in (and followed) my work.  I was so amazed; I couldn’t express my gratitude enough.  (I even got FLOWERS.  Thank you, Tina & Ruu!)

I ended the night with a Mexican feast, drinks & dear friends, followed by crashing deliriously into bed.

Y’know.  I was so nervous about the opening, worried that nobody would like my stuff, but it turned out my fears were for naught.  Everything fell into place in the end, largely thanks to my wonderful fellah, Biya & Tash.  And of course, Tessa, without whom this show would not be possible.  Thanks, guys.  And thank you to everyone who came to support me!  

AND thank you to those who couldn’t make it!  I had no idea anyone outside my immediate circle of friends would even turn up to this shindig, so to receive a mass of apologetic texts/messages for not being able to make it, was so so sweet.

(I’ll post more photos after the show ends, otherwise it’ll defeat the purpose of inviting you to come! :P)
