ONE PHOTO EVERY WEEK 25/52/2025-COLOURFUL CERAMIC

CERAMIC ART IN DAILY LIFE

Most people are familiar with traditional ceramics in the form of dishes, pots, and decorative items. However, in my past five years of engagement with young art entrepreneurs, I noticed that fewer than 5% venture into ceramic-based artistic creations. Compared to paper or digital mediums, ceramics require a more complex process—ranging from sculpting, glazing, and firing to quality control—but the results are often timeless and tactile.

Personally, I enjoy collecting and using ceramic cups, containers, saucers, and dishes with unique artistic designs—like the one pictured here. You’d be surprised how often I stumble upon beautiful finds at Pasar Seni, Pasar Tani, and even bundle shops. I’m particularly drawn to floral motifs and warm-toned designs that bring both function and beauty to everyday life.

I strongly encourage more young artists to explore ceramics as a creative and business avenue. There is untapped potential in this niche—both locally and globally. In an age of mass production, handmade ceramics offer authenticity, charm, and story—something the market increasingly values.

ONE PHOTO EVERY WEEK 17/52/2025- LIFE SKETCHING ART BUSINESS

Last weekend when I was having a drink with my fellow photograhers community at Makan Buzz, I saw a small kiosk manned by a famous local cartoonist Kulatt. His business is doing live caricatures for passers-by. He did one for me. It costs RM15. While he was drawing me, we talked about art business. As an art-entrepreneur business coach, I gave him some advice to diversify his active and passive income. The business of caricature art sits at a fascinating intersection of entertainment, fine art, and commercial service. The image I shared shows a street caricature artist at work — a powerful reminder of how immediate, personal, and engaging this art form can be. Business of Caricature Art 1. Street & Event-Based Caricature Art: • Tourist Spots & Markets: Artists draw live caricatures for passersby, offering personalized art in real-time.

ONE PHOTO EVERY WEEK 19/52/2025 - DAMASCUS SHAWARMA

I’ve only dined at Damascus Restaurant once—drawn in by the promise of authentic shawarma and strong Turkish coffee. The meal didn’t disappoint; the flavors were bold and satisfying. But when the bill arrived, the aftertaste turned bittersweet—much like the coffee itself. That experience stayed with me. These days, I prefer to grab a takeaway from their roadside counter instead. It’s quicker, cheaper, and still gives me the taste I’m after. As I observed more closely, I noticed Damascus operates from two adjoining lots—one on Jalan Bukit Bintang and the other on Jalan Sultan Ismail. Why two locations so close to each other? From the perspective of a business consultant working with SME entrepreneurs, the answer is simple: location. Both sites are strategically positioned along high-foot-traffic areas, prime spots for visibility and spontaneous customer decisions. While the restaurant interiors aren’t packed on weekdays, the takeaway counters consistently draw long queues. This in...
