When you think, a lot of people keep their thoughts to themselves. It is not always understandable why people do certain things, because you don't know what is on the mindset of that person.

Now you may wonder why I am writing this. This is a blog, please note, not a website. Before I proceed with this sentence, I want to explain the difference between a blog and a website, well, that is what Google says.

I searched for the actual difference between a blog and a website. They are different in their nature but similar in type. This means they are similar types but apart from each other. I won't delve deeper into that, but a website consists of a link of pages, whereas a blog is the thoughts and opinions of a writer which do not have pages that navigate to other pages, like going to a contact page, price list page, or about us page. So it is easy to explain but not always easy to remember.

I want to continue with the first two sentences with which I started: I design and develop on my blog, ideas, concepts, and thoughts. Sometimes it gets out of hand, and my imagination runs away from me.

The internet space is very interesting; you can basically do what you want. However, there are certain things you need to understand. If you put information about yourself, your address, your phone number, things change and laws are made so that it is not always possible inline by the law, like the Sectional Title law where I am not allowed to run a business from home. If I advertise, I need to do it without an address, but it is okay to call, yet you have to bring your client to you. This is wrong, because then you cannot do business at the place you reside, which is not allowed. It is difficult to live in your own unit because anyone can access this property which I own, and the wrong person might walk in and claim that I am conducting business. Then again, he needs to prove it, but if he sends his friend and there are a few pieces of evidence, that can lead to unwanted trouble in form of a letter.

While I am on the topic, this letter was addressed to me this week. It gives me a good understanding of how the art is experiencing me. In an individual's opinion. My acting was maybe to gain financial pleasure, but I was acting as a salesman, to train myself to start selling artworks, which the art institution has less or no knowledge of.

That is the reason why I have to stop a Gallery or Studio on my balcony.

Everyday We Look At Mannequins Around Us. (Monday Day 2 - 19 days to go).

I want to design, I have an idea, and I want it to be economical, eco-friendly, and recyclable. Now I think, about what sex it must have, I like male, so I am going to focus on male (body).  The sculpture has to stand on his feet, with a head, arms, legs, and belly, just the normal casual guy. That is what I want the mannequin to look like. The boy boor next door...
