I'll try to make this short, it's been bugging me that my last journal post was from years ago. I've been absent from dA for a while, focusing on study and then working so I didn't really have time to do any art, sadly. But I got pretty sick of that, it's fairly deflating to be working in retail when you spent years studying to be a professional artist. So I'm trying to focus on art again, get my skills back up and hopefully find a career that lets me do what I love.

Looking for work and dealing with clients again is proving pretty frustrating. The searching, the emailing, the checking-the-email-every-5-minutes-to-see-if-they've-replied. I dealt with a guy this week who asked for a quote, which I worked out and gave him, only to be told he can't afford it and pays his staff with royalties from the work sold. I said no, and it's all fine, except why did he waste my time asking for a quote when he never intended to pay me? It's pretty annoying, and I'm sorry about venting but it just kinda irritated me.

Anyway, venting done. Back to the job-hunt!

Birthday Update

2 min read
Well it was my b'day yesterday so I felt that was at least worth a quick post.

Had a lovely day though unfortunately there was a bit of school work to do, but still managed to have a very nice dinner with the family who all took the time to come out and celebrate with me which was very much appreciated.

In other news I'm insanely busy which is why I haven't visited dA in so long, and I do miss it too :( Loads of assignments due and a big party to plan for the weekend so I am frantic to try and get everything done in time. Wish me luck!

I wish I had time to check out everyone's beautiful artwork and to update my gallery but it's just not in the cards at the moment. I did get a picture of mine into a magazine though. It was for a design comp and you can see the picture up here: www.dgdesignnetwork.com.au/ade…
Mine is on the 2nd line, 3rd across. It didn't win but did get a mention as a notable entry, which is still pretty exctiting.

Anyway, hope everyone is doing well and I can't wait until dA and I can catch up for some quality time together :3

Got sick of seeing my x-mas themed journal, so I wanted to clear that. Don't have much time to chat, I'll update properly when I get a chance. Sorry to everyone on my watch list- I'll check out your stuff some time soon, promise.

Sooooo busy 0_0

Christmas Tags

2 min read
OK, I was tagged in October by Kittyme and now I’ve finally got some time off over Christmas to get to it. I’ve subsequently been tagged 2 more times since then and I’ll get to those eventually too.

The Rules are:
1. Each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves.
2. Tags should write a journal/blog of these facts.
3. At the end of the post, 8 or more persons are tagged and named.
4. Go to their page and leave them a comment telling them they're tagged.

In the spirit of the holiday I’ve decided to make this one Christmas-themed.

1. I’ve never tried Fruit cake
2. I make a Christmas e-card every year
3. I still buy those Christmas chocolate advent calendars (they’re so yummy)
4. My favorite Christmas movie is “A Muppets Christmas Carol”
Who doesn’t love that movie?
5. I rarely win the prizes in Christmas Crackers
6. When I was little I thought the lyrics to ‘Deck the Halls’ were “…’tis the season to meet Charlie” What can I say? I was young and foolish.
7. I try to read ‘A Christmas Carol’ every year, which can be difficult because I’m so busy around the holidays.
8. I own the Sufjan Stevens Christmas album (and it’s darn good)

Happy Holidays Everyone! :rudolph: :santa:
