I Can Do This

Me and my clever friend!

Wow! Has it really been that long since I last wrote a blog post?!?!... Apologies. I have been struggling a bit art-wise, but I am trying to fix that, promise!

I am still working on my drawing and I did rent that studio I posted about last time for a few months, however, I ended up having to give that up (it was nice while it lasted!).

Trying to find a work/art balance has been a challenge. I have gained, left and changed my day jobs, meaning I now only have one job at the zoo. You may have noticed that I have had an update on most of my art accounts, which I think was for the best. I have missed blogging, maybe, but I definitely miss my studio more...

Fingers crossed I can keep this up!

Bruise Art.

My brain has had an off day... I apologise. Don't judge me. This is nothing important, just an idea (I think that's what to call it).

I got this sexy big bruise last week and each day it's more or less been a different colour. Today, for some strange reason, I have been looking at it a lot and a thought came to me. I should have documented it from the beginning; when it first began to appear. Then I could've made some sort of art from it...

Or would that be too weird? I reckon I've seen worse, although, I guess it would depend what the art looked like. It could be beautiful... But it's not like anything I've 'recently' worked on. I don't know. It's a stupid idea. I'll shh now.

(I'll update this with more images if I take anymore and let you know).

Windy Southworld.

I have come home for the weekend and I’m afraid to say that any sketchbook work is highly unlikely, which means you’ll have to keep waiting for me to finish that whale, sorry! I must admit I was most glad to see my fluffy feline friend, Smudge (a.k.a Smudges, Mudges, Mudge). I think I have missed him more than my family… Oops. But a quick trip to Southworld with my parents tonight was lovely. Extemely windy, however the chippy chip chips made it all worth it.

Baby Proofing Nature.

“You’re trying to baby proof nature.”

I have finally done it! I know, about time! I did a drawing in my sketchbook today. This is the first bit of work I have done since finishing uni a few weeks ago…

I already had the idea that I wanted to draw a stag and the rest came from 3 AM inspiration…

More writing to come soon, I’m busy eating oreos, sorry!
