No suit. Sleeping in. Getting to choose your own hours. 

Artist life sounds pretty good on paper. 

But as Abdul Abdullah explains, in the real world, it’s a bit more complicated. 

Abdul has been living and working as an artist for over 10 years now. 

He’s also a seventh generation Muslim Australian who grew up in Perth and is now based in Sydney, New South Wales. 

In the Lowdown, Abdul chats about life as a young Muslim Australian artist in 2021.

As Abdul says, while there are many benefits like no crazy bosses, you need focus and self-discipline to make it work.
