Problem is the good ones are mostly oversea, the moderate ones struggling with life too busy to work on it, the bottom line lost its will and don't see them as an option to be a life line.
Many are just looking at each other and hope something happen, I'm guilty of it too. |

QUOTE(Gmruleme @ Dec 4 2017, 01:10 AM) kan.. i know right.. non profit organisation is tough t osurvive la in malaysia. plus need to have connection here and there with government agency etc somemore.. if f up then gone case Our level of given respect is like football, when you say "manchester united" everyone cheer ........ when you say "malaysia national" ...... everyone is just full of question mark. Its pretty sad cause actually our own country's artist had won quite a lot of competition outside. But you barely ever heard of any news in relation to anything art.sometimes i feel like art in local scene is more like a method for company to fulfil their CSR. just like those art annd photo competitions.. i dont think their main motive or aim is to like push or discover talent etc haha maybe its a balance la but weird feels like corporate world r sustainign the art scene here, if one day no money comes in from those big corps then the art scene dead? can't the art scene here survive or stand on their own..? maybe its more tough because of public perception twoards art (crowd funding etc. hard. ppl dun wanna spend on art/design. thinking they r always cheap). lacking of proper channels/funding . btw im not the expert here- feels free to correct me if im wrong  At oversea they have magazine monthly to identify artist of the month, local and international. Nothing here, sometimes the star do try to promote by writing a page or two highlighting success story, other then that its pure silence. Also local here hard to make a buzz, if you do most likely moral police will come knocking on your door for whatever controversy they think suitable to pin you on. |

QUOTE(Gmruleme @ Dec 15 2017, 10:53 PM) haha that's true. Problem is they kill the shi*t out of you for begger's price. And this aren't small companies, they are actual big companies who hire 3rd party that sub all those work to inexperience freelancers who wanted to try their hand for mere bucks. I stray away from those kind of commission simply because its not sustainable, you get better pay with less stress working as a helper for food stall then to work for local. Either that or sell your work online to global market that would appreciate and cannot undercut you.but sad thing is that the clients always opt for chepeast option and some designer or students out there are like killing the market too. but what to say, ppl can say its competitive pricing.. but in the end for client is u get what u pay la haha |
