My Obsession With Text Messaging

I am currently in the midsts of a very exciting project. Unfortunately, I don't know how freely I am able to talk about the project...but hell, when am I ever? The project will be taking me a good chunk of the winter, and near future, which is a definite plus considering my quickly growing stress from my paid job. And to be totally honest, I can't think of more of a dream job for me. Basically I get to spend time drawing ridiculously detailed furniture, clothing, wallpaper, hairstyles, etc....it's like I was meant for the job. Not to mention the fact that I get to draw whatever I feel like! Here are some rough line work drawings of what I am working on. Chances are, I don't have to be putting as much detail into everything that I am...but I can't really hold back at this point.

I viewed an online show, in which I entered one of my paintings, and it was....well, it was good. But odd, and confusing, and depressing, and amazing, and terrifying. A lot of nice things were said about my work, and I ended up getting entirely too disinterested for my own good by the end of it. Though, none of this has changed my ideas about having work in galleries....it still seems like a whole lot of bullshit and competitiveness, neither of which I am too fond of when it comes to just doing my work.Tonight a few of us are going to see Portsmouth play. Normally I would be all for this...but considering that it's at a lousy pub, on an extremely unclear bunch of televisions, ....I can't really say I am looking forward to it. Lord have mercy on us.Sometimes I wonder when I write things like "Lord have mercy on us", do people actually take me seriously? It was brought to my attention a long time ago, that people take a lot of ridiculous things I say seriously.

And one more thing:My name is Gavin Howard and I am a text messaging addict. Thank you.
