Hms, so all of my "unfinished artwork lying around" is now done... so that leaves me with to ponder what images to work on from now till the end of the year. I mean, I have HEAPS of images in my head, just wondering if they can all be done by the end of 09 (most of them are pretty simple) so now I just need to decide what to do. I've joined a secret santa, so thats def gonna happen, and I have a "end of 09" pic planned, and also I want to do a christmas image... and I have a few special people I hope I have time to make images for by the end of the year... hmmmmssss muchly stuff to ponder yeshm all I know is every picture I start has to be done by December 31st, no carry overs!

Well, the end is near isn't it? I have lots of pictures that I started this year and want to finish by this year, I also have a few easy ones planned. So you will be seeing quite a bit of work in the lead up to the end of this year. I know that in the second half of January at least :iconwednesday-fades: is coming over, so I will be taking a break then, but should resume my parasol project around January-February. I also have some... different pictures in mind and different styles I feel like trying just to take a break. I dunno, I feel so happy, so alive, like I'm finally loving life and I just want to ART!!!!!! and I feel like next year espicially is going to be a good one

Okies, so i've stupidly joined 's secret santa (even though I wasn't going to do anymore event or contests or anything) because it just seemed to fun.

This is my wishlist Mr/Mrs/Miss Secret Santa!

Hey everyone! Just a lil life/artwork update.

Well, i've figured out that i've still got emotional problems from some stuff that happened 2 years ago that I shoved under the carpet, so i've gone back to church and hanging out with more people around Melbourne so i'm not so alone. I like my job now, still pays not much and isn't the most glamourous but hey, its really not that bad. I need to stop eating fast foods, its bad for me.

On a artwork related note, I am now the artist for 2 websites ([link] run by and [link] run by ) I've been working solidly on my first parasol picture and its taking FOREVER, the deadline was yesterday and it's not done yet! I'm not telling you which one it is it's gonna be a surprise

thank you to and for sending me their pics

Okay, I think I have it down pact!
