Absence forgiven

Sat Sep 13, 2008, 2:37 PM
Apologies to fans of my artwork. I haven't much been able to actually do some photoshopping as my computer crashed last week; but that's the least of my worries.

My Mum borrowed my car to collect some groceries when she stopped to give way to traffic at a roundabout, and then the driver behind her failed to apply his brakes and crashed into the boot. Mum's fine and didn't need to go to hospital, but right now my poor little car is parked outside my house with a smashed-in bumper and damage underneath where the spare tyre is kept.

I don't think £1000 compensation from the insurance company is enough even for a new car

My dad brought a new printer-scanner last week, woop! An HP photosmart C4280, which does a brilliant job. I am now able to scan in some work I made a long time ago, but it takes even longer to colour in Photoshop...sighs.

Sadly, my grandfather died in his sleep that same week. I'm two days back from the funeral and am still feeling empty.

bored now

It seems my wait for a new printer-scanner will have to wait as I'm attending University open-days, but I've got a whole year to decide which one to attend.

I got a lot drawn though.

It seems I didn't get the job I applied for three weeks ago; the bastards probably binned my application before even reading it. Grrr...

I'm just a little upset because my best friend moved house today and to see him I'll have to pay for a couple of hour's train journey. I'm bored now. Sighs...

Assignments are finished

Hurrah! My assignments are all finished, now I just have to wait til' the big show this coming Wednesday, and then my work evaluated probably a week later.

Anyway, I'm now able to draw as much as I want, but I won't be able to submit anything for the time being because my printer-scanner was on a three year loan and Mum returned it to Winchester University yesterday. We are now saving up for our own personal printer and scanner so I can submit interesting drawings again.

To all my fans, thank you!

Just to pass the time

While I am busy dying (due to assignment work) I suppose I can get my mind off it by making a couple of updates.

First off, I have been working on my first animated feature, I have decided I will take up an animation career and will certainly study it when I go to University in 2009. I won't tell you the details now, but as soon as my cartoon is ready I will post it onto YouTube for all my fans to see

Secondly, while I am supposed to be designing a background for my Link picture, Ada's Apartment has so far been my most popular deviation and now I am curious to see whether my fans would like a CGI coloured Remake? It's a crazy idea I know, but my drawing skills have changed over the years I've been an artist and have almost developed my own original drawing style.
