I'm still alive

Hello, just thought i'd update this and let you know what's going on :) (vainly hoping someone might be reading...ha!)

I've just subscribed to deviantart.com - visit me! I decided to get a premium account on there as i use it fairly often, and it only cost me £4 for 6 months...hehe, cheapskate right here! Will get around to making an official website at somepoint in my life...

Also, i'm hopefully taking part in an event called 'Creative Spaces' in Tamworth Town Hall on 11th/12th of December :) Still finalising details and such, but fingers crossed it will be a mini exhibition/art sale to add to my CV!

Still working away at New Look part time also - nice to be earning a bit of money to fund my painting/general merriment (lol) with some nice people and some nice clothes.....50% discount ftw!

Anyway, that's all i can think of for now..hopefully can update you in a few weeks with creative spaces info!!! exciting! hopefully i haven't jinxed myself now by announcing it before it's even official.......heh.. :p

Heads up :)

Hi to anyone who reads this! (ha look at my optimism)

Well it's been a while - degree show is long finished, and it's been nice to de-stress and not worry about deadlines or frigging mirror plates etc for a few months!! I am currently hunting for any employer that will have me, and trying to decide what to do with myself in general.

Good news on the painting front though in that i have my very first paid proper commission! allbeit from a family friend, but hey! I'm just flattered to be asked! I've been and taken photos, bought my canvas and sketched it out...and have been clearing out the garden shed for my new little studio! Very excited about that. :) Never seen so many cobwebs in my entire life however, bleehhh.

But yeah, anyway, just thought i'd post a teeny update - I need to sort this blog out and make it current! Im living in the past haha.

So yes, today and tonight will be full of sketchbook work, handed in tomorrow at 9.00 am...then I will update this with some more up to date photos! My exhibition is now up, so I can update you on that too.

Wish me luck.... xx

Hi everyone :) Hope your life is good and less stressful than mine right now.

Very busy at the minute so have been lazy with updating this. I've been painting painting painting this week non-stop though, so i've got a lot to post! I think i'll break it down over a few days though as i want to keep this chronological and i need to sort my photos out anyway.

Anyway, enough rambling. PHOTOS!

I've added the furry pink rug and painted in her leg in these photos, but they're a bit old...so this one is looking more finished in the flesh. In the actual painting, the fur is looking more realistic, and her hair is finished so i'll have to update this again soon.

Generally very happy with this though! :)
