OK dokes, time for a little update. Once again, delivering the good with the bad, so this could be quite long...


The past fortnight has been quite a downer for me with bad luck seemingly gnawing at my neck - from technical issues to family members falling ill and hectic city life just getting me down with distractions a-plenty - this means that personal projects I've wanted to get started have been delayed many, many times, including stuff I've been wanting to get underway for a few years now...

But thankfully, things are starting to look up. Both family and PC are back to normal (if you can call it that) and I've been receiving some positive views in the job situation. Currently helping an animation studio develop a series for pitching - it's unpaid to work from home and it's nothing more than refining rough animation scenes, but it's a step in the right direction, and another company seem very keen in hiring me as a Character Illustrator after contacting them a couple of times. The latter I'm really hoping will go further on account I'm rather hoping to make a better career on drawing and just leave animation aside, mainly as a fun hobby than a chore.

As for me personal life, as I haven't had time, inspiration or let alone peace to continue my independent writing, I've decided to sign up for a course in Children's Writing at City Lit, which is easy access in my local area. Hoping to get my own creations kick-started again and maybe noticed from the other members of the group. Starts in September and it has a very friendly atmosphere there, so I reckon I'd be more content going there for a good while


I'm also considering two other options:

- Starting up my own blog and post more artworks there, preferably new material if I'm lucky. If anyone has suggestions for who or what they would like to see posted there, drop me a lion.

- Since the job dept. has been kinda slow this year, I've decided to open up a Paypal account and give my Commissions another try. Fairly small prices for y'all to pay, but again I have restrictions to what I do and don't draw, but only if everyone else is willing to splash out and help - from one artist to another, huh?


Oh, and I'll also be unavailable between July 20th to 7th August - 'cause I'll be on holiday with family in Italy.


So that's pretty much everything. Stay cool everyone and have a nice Summer


PS: VERY big thanks to DA Buddy for keeping my spirits up with a couple of arts dedicated to me. Believe me buddy, I aim to repay the favour someday!
