After an unusual week filled with meetups with family and friends and a daily schedule that was skewed by the World Cup, this past week was back to normal.
No social meetups occurred this past week other than my regular Chinese calligraphy class on Thursday. The only gathering that was scheduled for Sat. afternoon with my UW friends was postponed to later this month.
With more time on my hands, I got busy with work. Spent many hours to troubleshoot a 3D model for my studio neighbor who is in the yacht-related business. The owner is super nice and environmental friendly, he found an old abandoned 3D printer and many spools of filaments and gifted me for free. So I was glad that I was finally able to fix his 3D boat model and print them out using the printer and materials he gave me. He seemed happy too when I gave him the models on Sat.!
I seem to be picking up the passion for my work again. It’s all thanks to a few friends I recently got to meet, they reminded me of my younger self who started a studio and naively thought he could bring about changes to the world with his work. 8 years passed, I still can’t quite support myself financially with my ideals and passion, but perhaps I can pass on my experience to the younger generations and hope that they’ll be able to sustain themselves financially doing the things they’re passionate about?
