Good afternoon

So how is anyone bored enough to read this?
Hopefully well

Seems i have not updated this is some time, mainly becouse i procrastinate or have been too busy. So luckily im at work and my emails went to hell so i can't do any of my work, so i've decided to update this so it looks like im still working...I'm screwed haha

Anyways updates on me!
I've almost finished a 6month course in Newcastle, i have learnt so much and i've started shooting everything in camera without photoshoping the result(well unless i want a digital image)
So it's been a great experience, i understand light better, composition, exposure etc. it's rather usefull stuff and i plan to put it to good use!
I've been doing the occasional wedding, and work around when i can get it and im going to start practicing more with studio lighting(i've aquired a few new toys) So then once i get better and more custommed to that i can start getting hired and sell my services and...well just get better i hope.
Now the good news for anyone that watches me is i have about 18 new images that i am very proud of. They are for my portfolio and i've put alot of effort into them. I havn't uploaded them yet but i will once i hand them in and get my certificate at the course. Which is only a week away, and i still have 6 images to go. So i'm a little bit stressed at the moment, short of time you may say. But fear not i shall get it done, this is one thing i've been motivated to complete.

Oh also i'm at university now doing a Fine Arts degree and i start my second semester in a week. So everythings getting jumbled and it's not even the start of semester haha.
It's been great fun and i've made a bunch of new friends, i'm a bit excited to get my results back from last semester, nervous about the theory based work, as always hehe.

I'm not really sure what else to say, but i finaly started gaming again, i finished Gears of War 2, played through the sims 3, just started on Prototype and Fable 2, which are both freaking amazing lol
Thanks to :iconfuzzyyak: for convincing me to get Prototype! The best relaxing game i've ever played

Now i shall be off to try and get my work done, im a bit behind at this point but i can't help it
Hope your all well

Well i guess i should stop procrastinating.
I am back i think!

It's been something like 4 months since i was grounded, and so much yet so little happened that i can't even start to say what happened. So for all the folk who actually enjoy my art i suppose you will be happy to know that i am reporting back in and i do indeed have new photos to present. :)

Sorry i have been away so long, things were hard. They still are but they are more swept under the rug, so the issue is more a less ignored these days, you know the whole can't see it, it can't see me kinda theme =p

I've been working on some new styles, which I'm rather happy with, like street art and whatnot. While i was grounded i also started doing sketches of my wall which i am going to paint when i eventually get the money to buy, it's rather pricey. I'll probably throw some pics in my scraps when i take some.

Also, thank you to whoever got my 8k, it means alot to me to see that people continued to look at my work even though i was away :)
And whoever got it if they know, gimme a hit and I'll do something nice for you :D

I've also been extremely interested in model work(not for me) and I'm trying to learn about lighting and how to set up all that and if theres a way i can build a small studio. Because i have not the foggiest and I'm barely around during the day to use natural lighting. I'm also working on re-touching photos, and doing it so it looks realistic and not plasticy and bad like my last one, I'll get there one day :D

Anyways, it's good to be back and i hope everyone has been good while i was gone :)
Catch up to you all soon

Hey everyone

Sorry it has been so long since i wrote.
Due to some misfortune and bad timing and, well yeah that. I got grounded for 3 months. Which meant no cell phone, no internet etc. The works. Anyways, it's been 2 months(another one to go) and to be honestly i feel as if part of me has died. But thats not that important and you all don't wanna hear about that, I'm on this site for the art :)

So about the art. Since i have no internet i have not been able to update my Photoshop software which kinda broke lol. So i haven't been able to do any of the little manipulations i wanna do. Or any of my art for school. Which sucks cose I'm about a term behind now, wooh! :)

I have been experimenting with photos in my lil basement area, but it's been hard with lack of time. You see my grounding means I'm not allowed in my own house until my parents are home, because i can't be trusted to sit at home alone. So i get to go to my step-dad's work and sit in the corner till from 10pm-12 which honestly leaves no time for photos. Or study, as i don't have anyplace to study. My half yearlies are around the corner(this week) and I'm what you might called completely fucked :)
Though i have caught up on my reading, chewing through 5 books a week cose i can't really do anything else. So far i got through the Mathew Reilly series, few Stephen King books like IT, Gunslinger and Cujo and Stephenie Myers twilight series. I can't remember the others, but if anyone has some good authors or books. For gods sake send them my way :D

I have also written a few more stories, I'm not sure if i should actually post them though, what do you all think?

I know i had some other stuff to talk about, and i had things to say that were art related but i cannot remember, as i am somewhat rushing this. If I'm found on the net i may get banned for another month, *rolls eyes*.

To all those who have taken interest in my art i thank you :)
Your support really helps. And to all those i am watching and favorite'n keep up the excellent work as i find it inspirational or just amazing :)

see you all soon, hope things are well

Back to Reality and life

Hey there everyone
Well hey, i arrived safely back in the country and i didn't get hurt bad enough to be injured more than two weeks hehe. Sorry it took so long to update this, the idea of writing a journal kept seeming oddly unappealing. Who knows why =p

It's was great to see so much wonderful artwork when i got, granted it did take a long while to sift through it all. Then the journals, oh my, so many. Then again i was gone a month i guess it's reasonable, but some people have a journal everyday. I honestly don't have enough to say to do that...well enough stuff that i can say comfortably. i would love to just sit here for hours and talk the hundreds of conceptions that wander through my barb wire mind, but i don't think anyone would understand it, and anyone else would just argue i suppose.

So anyways, i been overseas thats right!
I wont go into too much detail cose, you'd get bored of reading for a start hehe.
So we arrived in France and drove to a small town were i met my Father and step-mom, which was an interesting experience. We stayed with them for a few days. The scenery was magnificent, it was all foresty and at a olden style manor, shrouded with mist that looked like an olden style "Silent Hill' scene hehe.

From there we drove to Paris were stayed for about a week.
The metropolitan there is amazingly fun, i love watching people and i dunno how the act and what the do on the subway. I saw this one man(strangely inspirational) who was sitting alone with a small leather bound book doing sketches of the people standing at the rail, his drawing was beautiful. It made me very interested in taking up drawing again(my books and pencils are lost in the mail atm -.-) We spent New Years watching the Eiffel Tower, not many fireworks but the view was so pretty.
Then my family all got very sick with some bug thingy which enabled me to run around Paris alone for a while, which was excellent!

So after our Paris exploration we crammed ourselves in a tiny car and drove to Switzerland which was by far completely breathtakingly beautiful, i don't know why i fell in love with it(maybe cose i was born there) But i just loved it to bits. We stayed at a very small town in The vallis which was literally between the Alps and it was amazing(though an avalanche could have been troublesome) we were about 10 mins from the ski slopes and we spent a week snowboarding which i was actually good at! I learned freestyle and some stunts, how to do jumps, powder, drops and such, it was great. But i pulled my groin really bad on the black run on the last day, me being a stubborn prick finished the run anyway haha, bad idea, but oh so fun!

After that we drove back to my Fathers and caught a train to Paris for a further three days, in which i finally got to visit the Louvre, magnificent place. Then we said our final goodbyes and hoped on the plane home.
Planes are fun, i get to talk to strangers ^.^
And thats all, now I'm home and I'm a little insomnic, i start school tomorrow, which in all honesty is a petrifying thought because i did so bad last year, i am determined as hell to work my ass off this year..
Though the only thing I'm looking forward to is my major artwork :)
I hope everyone had wonderful holidays and will have a great new year
Thats all for now.

Ps I got alot of photographs done, BUT first i don't like any of them, and secondly i don't actually have them thanks to a fuddle at the airport, it should arrive in the mail shortly i hope cose i cannot wait to examine them better.
Anyways, thanks for reading.

As you are probably aware it's almost Christmas, now i would love to stay and wish everyone a merry Christmas and all that usual jazz, but i can't I'm heading overseas on boxing day. But I'm staying in a hotel from tomorrow onwards and i don't think it has an internet connection

So in advanced, Merry Christmas and a happy new year to everyone and anyone out there

At the moment I'm trying to pack my bags, it's so confusing hehe, but i got some new jackets that im in love with =p so I'm fair happy about that. Apparently it's going to be cold lol. I'm going to France, then Switzerland. The occasion is to visit my father, i haven't seen him in a rather long while so it should be rather interesting i suppose

Well I'd better go and finish packing and all that usual fun stuff
I'm going to miss everyone :(

HAVE FUN! :D
