Frozenfa Interviewed by Karin Taylor

There is a brand new initiative coming from the great creative brain of Red Bubble’s Jo O’Brien who has begun a chain of interviews, dedicated to spreading the love and creativity. The fire was first fanned into flame by one of our most dearest bubbly people and friend, the wondrously musically and arty farty Muscular Teeth

Now, Mr Teethy and I had a little conflict of interest at first over who would ask Frozenfa to do her interview…..since we’re both big fans of hers…..but I won out of course….being superquick with the bmail clickety click…and got to her first….phew…!!! Not that it matters, coz I think that lots of you are going to get the opportunity to share your hearts and arts with us…..and we are looking forward to hearing from you each and everyone, getting to know more about you, what makes you tickety tock and what makes you rock!!!!

My interview with Fa is one of two that I’ll be journalling, so stay tuned as you may be next in line!!

enough chit-chat……read on……………………….

Let’s Focus On……..FROZENFA interview with Karin

(Fa, tell us puleeze, what makes you tickety tock and what makes you rock?)

aw, look…it’s baby fa….isn’t she adorable!!

How does being a creative person and pursuing your creativity affect other aspects of your life?

After i finally left the corporate world, i decide to venture into doing my tees and designs full time a.k.a. going jobless. Almost everyone says i’m being crazy and that i’ll end up being a free loader and won’t make it anywhere. i get people telling me left right center, about how tough it’s going to be.. or how shitty the world is out there and basically just assuming that i’d turn into a starving artist. my family too didn’t believe in me. but i did get a moral support from 1 friend then, Serena. and with just that 1 person believing in me, i just went ahead to live my life, my way.

I no longer meet up with my friends unless they ask me out, which is always for a reason or another or they just feel obliged to. some thought am becoming a hermit. i’d say i’ve gotten to know so many more interesting people around the world in this 6mths..

From awesome photographers to cool writers to amazing painters.. i got introduced to PixelTerminator by Buddy Sears … i get to do a collaboration design with Karin.. i got to meet Cvail73 when she’s here on holiday.. and just met a new bubbler, udonchow just now, who’s back to renew her visa.. and i think i’ll be meeting Krisso during his stopover to sg on his way to london.. hehe.. XD

Since i’m “jobless”, i have more time to spend at home. i get to do the sweeping and moping the floor and making sure to dry the laundry and be ready to help my mum when she comes home. i am happy cos i get to spend more time with my family and be more helpful and useful to them.

I am soo much more happier now. all the depression and being forced to do work i’m not interested in and having to deal with annoying people is over.. i can do my own work at my own pace.. i can draw what i want to draw, express what i want to express. and no, i am not a free loader! i live off my savings. no i am not from a rich family, everyone in my family just knows how to spend only when necessary, we don’t have air conditioner nor sofas at home! and no i am not rich, else i would have a physical shop by now. no i am not starving artist, i am still fat! errr.. dang.. ok fine, i need to exercise more.. (Tim: ROFL!!!) grrr…

But you can call me struggling artist, yesh, i can accept that! =) am still struggling to find my own printers and working towards opening my own mini booth at a local market..

Tell us about one person or moment that has made your time on redbubble particularly special or meaningful

Back during my early days at work, i was made to believe that i wasn’t creative enough and that all my designs are below standards. Back then, i believe that i’m not creative and am a lousy designer. with RSI and depression, honestly i thought i’d forever live in the shadow of other people..

But everything changes when i join RB!! i’d say the one person that i’m truly madly deeply hehehe thankful to i’ve met is Karin! Yesh, the big shining star in RB, Karin Taylor !! if you don’t know her, then you must be either new to RB or been really inactive here.. hehehe.. XD

How special is she? as if you don’t know!! Oo”

Well you can check out our mushy tribute to each other here at her journal here… ehehe..

Basically, she’s been most encouraging and supportive of me and my crazy designs.. Heck, can you believe it, she’d even listen to me whining about silly non design related problems through bmail? i always feel so bad taking up her time sometimes with my whinings, but she’s always so encouraging and listening.. i am very thankful for that. Karin also turns out to be my VERY FIRST buyer (she kept it a secret until i started making other sales slowly but surely). hehe..

i received a birthday present all the way from overseas for the first time ever in my life from her too! and a bday card.. haven’t got a bday card in awhile.. Bday truly would have suck this year if it weren’t for her.. and this is what really moved me most. i will admit, that really made me cry!! XD

Show & tell us about five works on redbubble that have moved or inspired you

FIVE ONLY?! the one who started this must be joking… gosh.. ok, to those not chosen, no offence, k? as long as i fav your works, it means i really like them!! just my luck that i can only pick 5 now.. i’d choose…

by VirgiMax Designs

cos yea.. the people i love and care for hurts me like hell, never thinking about how painful their words or acts are..

One Spring Day by Karin Taylor

reminds me how fragile friendship could be.. how it maybe spring one day, and autumn the next.. how easy it is to lose a friend.. and how a new friend may suddenly spring into my life out of nowhere.. this piece just touches me.. =)

I Am Not Strong Enough by lisadee

I once wrote an email with exactly the same title when i was at the risk of a mental breakdown.. and the image there really reminds me of how far i’ve come since then..

Beach Duet by Karin Taylor

this wonderful piece inspired me to come up with

Summer Fun =D

Girl on Red Wall by Karin Taylor

inspired me to come up with a bunch ofFrazzle the cat design and also starts off my first collaboration artwork ever!

Thank you so so much, Karin!!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Thank you Frozenfa for filling us in more about you, your art, your creative life and what makes you tick tock and truly rock!!!

A fabulous interview giving a ‘behind the scenes’ look at Fa’s life, her values, and i think it gives a little insight into just how special a person she is, someone who has a heart full of courage, depth of feeling, and I think she is what they call an old soul with a heart that’s so big and swelling with love….send some love her way peoples, and visit her bubble today…you won’t be disappointed i promise

You may wanna buy some of her art, coz i think she’s gonna be real famous soon!!!!

Fa will pass on the love, by requesting two more bubblers whom she admires and respects to do interviews with her, and journalling it…..this way we all learn so much more about one another, as well as being introduced to other artists through the five…..

I was so shocked, honoured and moved that Fa chose no less than three of my artworks as being of special significance to her, this really rocks my world fa

Ps I highly recommend fa’s TIM character (Twisted Inner Monster) for every ailment under the sun!

Hugz and Glompz

and enjoy reading everybody !!!!

Love Kaz, KT, Karin, k, me
