If I do this once a month will this technically be considered an "active" blog? Hopefully my life and job will be picking up enough soon that I will actually have something to write about. In the last month basically all I have achieved is written a thousand emails, gave up on growing out my beard, cleaned the hell out of my room, fixed some poorly neglected car parts, resized file after file after file, played "Last Summer" repeatedly on my ipod, watched horribly rubbish dvds, tried to sneak around the new skate park to tag it, read the first part of Pride and Prejudice again (and by again, I mean for the 18th time), changed my ringtone to the Mighty Morphin Power Ranger's, listened to Jack Johnson albums on repeat, and sat in front of the computer unblinking for hours on end. The fact that I can summarize a month's worth of activity into a horribly long sentence is proof that I don't really deserve to have a blog.
Started a bit of drawing this week, for my mate Ryan's tattoo. This was the first time in a long time that I actually had FUN drawing. Unfortunately I lost a lot of detail after scanning and altering the image. I think my poor old scanner that has to have books put on top of it to scan things well is finally starting to give out. I also FINALLY finished this poster for my DJ mate that I had started months back. I ended up doing this whole thing entirely in Photoshop, and while normally I am not pleased with the end results of doing this sort of thing...I am super happy with the way this ended up. The gleam on the text was such a happy accident, that I have been trying to breakdown how I did it in hopes of replicating it again and again. I also realized while making this that I have been using the same basic texture over and over again, that I made for a bit of uni illustration about 2 years ago. This is the sort of thing that leads one to having external hard drives stacked on top of each other, but im taking my computer to the limit, whilst making it unbearably slow.
Summer's coming, the light is brighter for longer, the warmth stays in the air for more length of time than thought possible for England, which means i can finally deck out my camo shorts again, i'v missed those things. Thought about getting a new car for the last week or so, sharing it with my best friend, but we've decided to stick with my current one until she passes her test and then can get a car herself, and i'l just keep mine until it runs into the ground. Think I'm going to clean it up as well, bring it back to top condition and maybe include a good sound system to blow the cobwebs away. That'll do for now, till next time........
