...because suddenly hibernation season seems to be over. There was a sudden influx of notifications of journals, art and messages in my message box today, all the artists and students have recovered from winter/christmas/new year/school and art submitting - on the day I realized that there are flowers blooming in this silly place! (I come from a place with long winter so: flowers in february?! This place is weeeeird.)

Which is why I'm writing this journal.

I am, of course, one of those silly students who have no life outside of their art projects and essays due for school.

I am also not going to say anything I haven't said in previous journals. (I'll submit something someday, I swear)

So hello! to all my fellows coming out of hibernation, you inspired me to let internet know I am also still alive.

PS - Oh, and to all you who have favorited and watched me during the past couple of months: THANK YOU, because I don't say thank you to ppl who like my stuff enough.

One month later and it's all done!!!!  :squee: 

It's 11:30 pm and I need to rant somewhere!

For the past 3 weeks I have been working on a portfolio for a university that has consumed my life and now my soul has been submitted to them to be judged. This just happened. And it will remain in their custody until March at which point I will be released in joy or dropped down the void of rejection. And it will be over. I'm not being melodramatic.Stare (I've got my fingers crossed. )

I should be relieved and ecstatic! I have a whole month at least to be care free and juvenile and - no that's a lie.

I still have to find a job. I still have to make sure, if I get accepted, I have a place to stay. I still have NO money. And there's another university to apply to.

BUT THEY DON'T ASK FOR A PORTFOLIO so it's all good. I am a dummy!

Anyway. Yes, hopefully this means I will be back! Though not this weekend because I have a workshop tomorrow and waffles on sunday......

mmmmm waffles Toast (PRETEND IT'S A WAFFLE!!!!)

Happy Holidays everyone, hope the year has been good to you all and that the next will be just as good or better!

One of my best friends, :iconprimmly:, has opened commissions and as she is under a financial burden I thought I would help promote her! She is the one who got me into drawing in the first place so I owe it to her!

You can go here to see the details of how to request a commission: primmly.deviantart.com/journal…

She does super cute artwork, and I know is totally open to any and all requests, whether they be OCs, IDs, fanart, aliens, trolls (she'd love to do this for you) or your pets. :meow:

Here are a few of my favourites of her artwork:

Krakkanon by Primmly   Time to Think by Primmly Lala by Primmly Happy Brewfest by Primmly  Rose by Primmly   Edgerift Christmas by Primmly   Warm by Primmly    Aylee's Star by Primmly

She accepts points and paypal, note her if you have any questions!

Merry Christmas guys!

Heeeey... so I think a major over haul is in order for the new year.


Soon.

Maybe.

(promises promises)
Yeah, since 2013 is almost I figured it's time to put those pic's into their own folder and put some new stuff up... as newer stuff is generally more interesting. So that will be my project for the next little while: posting some new stuff and actually coloring some of them... A sketch dump from 2013 will probably be posted as a preview to some things that may be coming in the future!
(promises promises)

Anyway, still a big thanks to those people who continue to favorite my art. That small trickle of favorites reminds me that I can still come back and not have to completely start again in trying to get views (not that I draw for the views) - we all know how encouraging that little bit of love is!

Yeah, so it's almost been a year since I have had any activity on my dA page and I am still getting people favoriting my work. :) So a little love to all you who visit my page and like my art from me. :heart: Thank you guys!

But the end of my adventures in New Zealand is coming up. 5 more weeks until my flight home. Everything is booked and I have a plan for the rest of my money so I will go home completely skint. It's such a weird feeling...

But! I have lots of drawings to post up! I've been drawing like crazy during the past 2 months. Every day that I'm not working in the evenings I spend at least 3 hours drawing. I've been changing it up the past while, mainly drawing animals out of books and currently doing some illuminated art. It's different and I don't really feel like I can take any credit for it because it's all copied really. But it's practice. I love it.

Yeah the reason I've been drawing is because I've suddenly gotten my priorities straight. I did two days working in a factory and I don't think I've ever been so miserable before. Even when I was a telemarketer. (I know... the shame... I'm sorry to the Australians. I hope you can forgive me.) See, my days always start with cleaning in the morning and then I would make a very rushed lunch, pack dinner, then jump on the bus to go to the factory until 10pm. If I didn't work in the morning it would be bearable. But my cleaning pays for my accommodation.  Yeah, so after those two days drawing suddenly became my therapy. I love it.

And soon all of my stuff will be going into the 2012 folder. Because I will have a bunch of new things... 

Yeah, so I'll see you guys in a month! Or thereabouts. Give or take. Probably will take me a bit to actually get anything up on dA.  

PS - if you by chance actually read my last journal entry: I got a very nice rejection letter from Richard Taylor from Weta. I didn't expect to actually get a job. But I tried. And I have his letter now to silently cry over.
