The flowers to me look like they’re frangipani, and I always associate them with these foam hair clips (they’re also a common sugar flower tho I believe)

i'm in the same boat as you right now! i don't have a super solid "body of work" that looks good for jurors n stuff.... it only occurred to me that i'll need to establish myself soon if i actually want to succeed as an artist, and that being at university means i should probably try and get an exhibition in my school's gallery before i graduate in '25 😭this summer i'm trying to apply for all the open calls that i possibly can ughhh

AHH!! so happy for you!!! I absolutely love that view with the tree and the birds, that’s so sweet 🥹💗 I hope you have so much fun in your new studio space and that you can continue to create and do amazing things there!! <3 can’t wait to see what you do with the space!!

The way my eyes gaped omg I'm so happy for you Al!! Love your content hope you have a great time in your new place ❤️

that mural painting thing, def sounds entry level. if they were paying by the hour and what the work is worth in the end, then ok maybe only want 'established' artists. and i would say you are established, you make money,people know you for what you create, you study/practice/learn about art. Curious to know what they think an established artist is

the flowers remind me of a vanilla yogurt’s packaging that i used to have years ago, maybe that’s it 🍨

I know exactly what you mean about applications for any art related things needing a ton of project experience, it's so frustrating. Congratulations on the new studio!!! the white looks so good, I can't wait to see it all decorated ❤❤

when you mentioned you feel like the month went past so fast and you can't keep up, I needed to pause the video and write a comment because: SO TRUE! I feel the same, it gets worse every month and I feel time slips through my fingers. and you got a studio, i am so happy for you!!!! looking forward to the other videos

Woop Woop! Congrats on your new space, Al 🎉

I remember these flowers being the ultimate cool hair clips when i was super young

I gasped when I saw the birds! What a fab space :D

So so happy for you! Love to see the growth in real time <3

ive seen those flowers before. i always thought they were some kind of lily.

Looking forward to studio set up vlogs!
