Back in the safety of my flesh

Journal Entry: Tue May 13, 2008, 11:13 AM
Well it's been a while since I properly updated with what been going on and since I have finally wrapped up a lot of things, I decided to give you all a brief touch up with what's what.

Firstly, my second Year of University has been quite busy but has come to an end and so I'm finally free to enjoy my Summer Holiday at last! It feels nice to know that for three months I won't have to deal with lectures/seminars, projects, deadlines etc and allow myself to finally let loose and flock freely through the grassy meadows of Summer! While I will say that the first semester and beginning of the second where not to bad, it was mainly the typical rush when you realise that have deadlines approaching one after another and making sure you've done everything to the required information given. While I was pretty much on the ball there were times I hoped that i had done all the appropriate reading and the project stuck to the given theme throughout the term ( The theme this year was: Sight, Site or Cite). In the end, I obtained positive feed back despite i had a very hazy start with the year (trying to paint with melted wax is not fun people!). Funny enough, they actaully want to see the more bizarre/creepier side of my art as my tutors stated: "Lighten up- lets get some the fun/joy/humour back into the work! We want to see what really dwells within that mind of yours.' All I have to say is that I'm not complaining.

Away from University my personal life has been busy as well with constant back and forth adventures. If it wasn't workers coming in the early hours of the morning and waking me up with their power tools and radio and full volume it was helping a close friend of mine through an ordeal that left him in a state of heartbreak and much more. Unfortunately through all this I have had no time with my Graphic Tablet and have neglected digital stuff for nearly 8 weeks and the pour has perhaps amounted enough dust to perhaps make a nice wig of hair.

However, I do intend to get back into the swing of things and put time into some sketching practice as well as digital related art. Before I wrap this up I must thank everyone recently who has been watching me and faving my work over the course of time! You guys are so nice and awesome for the wonderful comments you've been leaving and support over the time I've been here. You guys are generuosly amazing and it has also been great to see how you yourselves have become better at what you do!

I will go out with giving out big thanks to Fademist, Lolover, Shin yome and Tiger Chameleon for great pieces of work they done for me. Thanks guys, they were all awesome that they have gone into my personal fan folder on my desktop for keep sakes.

Peace out guys, I'll try my best to stay a bit more updated now and then.

*whistles* Almost forgot! To anyone's interest I have put a few things in my scraps to prove I have been doing some drawing when I could.
