Behind every show, artwork, spectacle is always a culmination of endless hours of sweat, tears, hardwork that people, as the audience, often forget or disregard. Performances are done to look effortless and with ease when in reality, there was nothing easy. Nothing good ever came with ease.

Last month, I was part of my school talent show and spent most of the time more as a backstage crew member than a performer. Being able to see and be a part of the process behind the show was perhaps more entertaining and rewarding than watching the actual show itself. I guess you could say to every performance was a show for the audience and a separate one for the performers.

As a spectator for so long, it's nice to be behind the curtains and spotlight once in a while.

Here's to more backstage views in the future.

Spring is almost here and I am revelling in whatever sunshine that I had missed from the winter cold. Above is an original typography work I've done from messing around with my new Adonit Jot Pro pen. I'll probably get around to doing more typography work in the future. Stay tuned!
