I've got much more on display on Redbubble too! Okies, I'll leave that for now!

Bai!

Current Mood: accomplished

Hm, I must admit that keeping a journal is not my thing. It is hard to keep it up to date. With that said there is something that I wish to share and it is the selling of my artwork and my "NEW" style.

I also have created one T-Shirt design too. If people are interested I will even make more. It is what i want to do... and I hope to get the support of that.

Then there is the added illustrations that I have now done for ASIM - Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine. Three internal arts and a cover (to be released later this year). Yay!


Let me know what you think!!

Every have one of those nights where time seems to slow around you like someone had deliberately triggered a sloth mechanism on your brain?

I've got one of those now. I've got plenty to do, but not a great deal of enthusiasm. It is more like I've been doing it day in and day out so where is the variety?

Here is an idea for a commissioned illustration.

My most favourite thing about Christmas is buying presents for people. I'm not certain exactly what it is, but by the Gods I enjoy it!

Took my boys to see Santa the other day and although excited at first my eldest immediately shunned the man during our time there. So no photo. Especially after my youngest son began tugging off santa's beard *cringes*




I would like the invite people to see something fairly amusing, especially for those who have seen "my Fair Lady".

Kisses!

24 years later and it still amazes me how busy the shopping centre can become on the lead up to Christmas! The stressed people trying to get what they think is ABSOLUTELY neccessary to make the perfect gift. Somehow I think that some people ahve forgotten the thought that counts.

Granted I have thrown in my "cheap" drawing here and there as Gifts, but it's the contents and reasons behind doing them... okay I realise how that sounds. I am thinking more like, it is something from me. Drawing is a part of my being that cannot be replaced. Alright, you may be able to find a relic with the same value, but who's challenging that? ;)

Well, I wanted something to fill in the void so I can add another picture to show you lovely people!

Sincerely

Have you noticed the striking change in the air today? Something similar to a smothering cloth perhaps? NO!

Today is the day that all those people who are angry and vile slither their way out of the woodwork and prowl the land!

I have been accosted today by inconsideration, vulgar language in front of my children and wild behaviour by my fellow drivers. Even now my, generally docile, street is swamped by incoherent "Doof-doof" music and neighbours screaming at each other.

I don't particular recall the lunar being in any sort of phase that should transform so many people into knuckle-dragging buffoons, but it seems to be happening.

Yes, this is my chance to vent! It is not often that I come to the point of needing such an outlet on the world, but if the world was so subtle in saying, "No really, you shouldn't have left the house" Then by the Gods I will have my say!

Bah, okay I think that I am done for the evening. No pictures however due to "rage" syndrome. Many apologies.

Current Mood: irate

Australia Post is the auntie of all evil, MSN being the spawn of (at least to those who have dial-up - blessed are those with Broadband).

Ah, had to vent... even in the good ol' fashion of beating bushes... heehee, now who doesn't want to do that every now and then? For anyone who is interested I have a DeviantArt page full of pretty pictures *nods*

Current Mood: pissed off

I have at long last recovered from my living death - Migraines and Head colds. Have enjoyed a day of creating and a brilliant, smooth work-flow.

I'd like to impose an image on you all. This is the second installment of the Dreams and Nightmares - "Faery's Nightmare"



Enjoy your days!

At last after many years of fellow prodding and all the above I have created a means of mass communication that isn't necessarily belated emails.

I felt all kinds of vulnerable this morning but after a vigorous turn at the gym, and an hour of my first Yoga lesson, I feel invigorated.


Short and sweet is my first post, until I get a handle of this new fandagle contraption. Enjoy the above artwork!
