I'm tired. didn't sleep at all last night... So this might be rather incoherent.
Sorry I haven't been about much. I've been busy, what can I say.


I've mentioned before, art is more than a pastime for me- it is pretty much everything to me. Something I have worked at as long as I can remember.
For a pathetically long time I put up with those around me thinking that my artistic tendencies were 'just a phase'- the only people who seemed to care about my art were my parents. I owe them a lot for all their support... Sitting here at my desk after another Christmas of canvas boards, pencils and reference books, I really want to show them it was worth their time and encouragement. I don't want others to think I'm wasting my time either- and I want to be able to get up every day and create things that I'm proud of.

I have a lot to learn if I want others to take me seriously, as my parents do. I already spend hours and hours every day drawing and painting, but unfortunately checking in on dA and commenting on art and journals takes time. Probably why I'm staggering off to bed at 4:30 on average this past week. So my appearances will probably be less frequent from now on.

Just to let you know, anyway.
