Art is to Singapore as Durian is to ??

I wanted to create an iconic piece of art, something that would be instantly recognizable and evoke a positive response. Instead I created a childlike picture that no one seems to get. So much for being the next Warhol. It’s from The Simpsons, don’t you know.

Believe it or not I haven’t traveled in two weeks. Instead I’ve been stuck in Singapore doing school work and school projects. But it has been a great opportunity for me to jump head first into the Singapore scene. I’ve painted a picture, been to a concert, met with government officials, visited the seedy underbelly, and most importantly made friends with the locals. They are a strange people with their own version of English and mannerisms, but I seem to fit in fairly well. They laugh at my jokes at least. I like it here.
