i want to first thank and appreciate everyones effort in trying to make sure that this association/group keeps moving towards a positive direction. i used to think that usa painters and graphic designers were way too exceptional compared to the ones here, but now i know that people here can do well or even better in the same field. but i also know that we can all do better in art only when we are willing to help each other and work together. this makes me believe that we have good artists just like those in usa. but ofcourse, i have to admit that paintings and graphics from usa have a little class that we need to get to here. am very grateful to everyone. God bless u all.

one never stops to wonder why things exist the way they do. may be some pple and places are more lucky than others but i never stop to wonder whether it is the case with the USA. One man once said, that when USA sneases, the rest of the world catches a cold, describing perhaps the superiority of this great nation over others in almost every direction. However,certain questions never leave my head, such as, is it true that americans are segregetive and are they racists? A country full of opportunities that are probably not for certain groups and kinds of people, something that perhaps explains why it is so hard for pple that have a black colour find it so hard to live happily in the USA. In art and in fields where talent is needed, i often wonder why the Americans now remember to hail the blacks then. but at the end of it all, does it really matter what colour we are wearing? i thought it matters who we are inside and capabilities they have in them. we should therefore use art to conquer selfish intrests and live all in this beautiful world as the same brothers and sisters. i love u all. art can rule the world.
