Let's Bring Asian Culture Into Our Wardrobe

I decided to share my story with you, Pandas. After all, panda comes also from Asia.

I love to paint for years and I adore Asian culture. I was always so fascinated in every topic around it. And I can bet, there will be plenty people who feel the same way.

Im normal working person, with family, kid, like most of you. I like my job, but its not making me satisfied and I always wanted to do something else for my living.

I tried to paint on canvases, but how often do you buy a painting? I loved to do it, people liked it, but it was not something what I could live from. Im not painting to become a millionaire, but because I wanna share the art, my imaginations, bring it into daily life.

So I was thinking, maybe I can try to paint on clothes. Tried few things, but was never enough satisfied about colours, fabric, how long the color lasts etc.

I was reading and reading over whole internet, how to make it better, for me, for the people.

Then I came to articles about digital painting, digital design, garment printers.

And I wanted to try it. BUT.

When I was scrolling thru the printers, I was really shocked.

The prices are really set up for bigger businesses and thats something what I was not and still I am not.

So I found another solution. Transffering paintings using heat press and special paper on the clothes. But the quality was also not good enough. My scanner was crying, because I didn't talk with him - yeah, just scanner for documents - what did I expect?

And I was so pissed, because I really wanted to build something. I wanted to see and meet people who would be wearing the piece of art.

And then I said myself. STOP. If you want to do something, do it for 120% or more.

Spent all my extra money for iPad, Procreate and Adobe and Corel.

Started to learn from blanco, because digital painting is totally different then I was used to apply colours on canvases.

I registered my company, made an e-shop. Working hard until 12PM, 1AM, waking up at 6 AM to go to my "normal" work.

But its worth it. The thought, that one day I will meet some stranger and he or she will have my painting on the clothes, thats something what is worth it.

Asian culture is mysterious and beautiful for a lot of us. But how many us have a piece of asian art in their wardrobe (and no, we can't count label "MADE IN CHINA")

I don't think there is a lot of. If Im not counting Manga and these modern things. But that I am leaving for younger generations.

Im not giving up and I will never will. Because doing what you love, with your heart, will in the end find the good people, who would love it as you do.

Never give and support each other.

As my son is doing. Every painting what I do and put on clothes, he wants that too - kids are so cute.

ART it UP.
