ONE PHOTO EVERY WEEK 28/52/2025- PAINTING FOR PUBLIC

 


ONE PHOTO EVERY WEEK 28/52/2025: ART FOR EVERYONE
Creative Business Idea: Art for Everyone at The Annexe, Pasar Seni
There are many ways to earn an income from art, and this is one particularly clever and inclusive example. At The Annexe Building next to Pasar Seni (Central Market), an art entrepreneur has created a space that allows non-artists to experience the joy of painting—without needing any drawing skills.
Interestingly, he doesn’t sell finished artwork, nor does he paint on commission. Instead, he offers pre-drawn art templates—ready-to-paint sketches—which customers can colour in using provided materials. For less than RM25 per session, participants get a full package: access to a table, chair, brushes, paint, and a selection of sketch templates.
It’s an inviting and relaxing space, attracting a steady stream of families, friends, and tourists, especially on weekends when the shop is usually full. Visitors spend time enjoying a hands-on creative experience while surrounded by vibrant artwork and colourful inspiration on the walls. It’s a fun and affordable way to dip into the world of painting, no matter your skill level.
This model is not just a creative outlet—it’s a smart business. It transforms passive viewers into active participants, turning art into both an experience and a memory.

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. It’s a great way to earn daily income, particularly in high-footfall areas.    •  ...

ONE PHOTO EVERY WEEK 23/52/2025- ROADSIDE FOOD KIOSK

  People continuing to eat at roadside stalls in a modern city like Putrajaya—despite the availability of polished office-tower restaurants—says a lot when viewed through the entrepreneurial lens. As a business coach, I explore raison d'etre for the co-existence of two classes of restaurants for different market segmets. 1. Understanding Customer Behavior Is a Key Entrepreneurial Skill Roadside stall operators inherently understand where people gather, what they want, and how they prefer to consume. In Putrajaya, many patrons:    •   Seek quick meals during busy schedules.    •   Appreciate the authentic, local flavor often lost in upscale restaurants.    •   Prefer open-air, casual settings where there’s no pressure to dress up or spend more than they planned. 👉 Entrepreneurial insight: Successful entrepreneurs recognize that convenience, familiarity, and community often outweigh luxury. 2.

ONE PHOTO EVERY WEEK 18/52/2025 - BOOKSHOPS

 BOOKSHOP BUSINESS? I used to have a dream to own a bookshop. When I woke up, the dream just evaporated into this air.Why? I have better chance to make money selling nasi lemak and teh tarik in BB Bangi. For more info on Malaysia Book Industy Report, read the attached note below the photo. However, if you really want to go into this business,I recommend you start selling online. My friend made a sale more than RM1,000,000 last year. Start small, learn the ropes and connect to strategic partners like Kota Buku. For me, I will focus on my writing to share my knowledge and experience.  Selling? Let others do it. I enjoy writing more than engaging with the customers-getting sales,packaging and deliver. Let us make money together.
