I thought that I'd do a little self promotional journal for my stock account here on dA that some of you may not be aware of.
You can find it here:
I put most of my photography up there, that I don't want to put in my gallery here, but I feel could be useful for stock purposes.
Most of it is nature based, with also some architecture in there and some random little gems.
Anywho, please feel free to take a look, and if you like give me some suggestions as to what you'd like to see - I may have it lurking in the depths of my computer somewhere

So after finding a whole heap of my work stolen on photobucket, I figured it was about time I did a clean up of my dA gallery as there's a lot of stuff in there that I really don't think is worthy of being stolen...oh the irony!! So I will be delving into the dusty back pages of my gallery and getting rid of some pieces that I feel no longer reflect what I am as an artist and adjusting some others so that they say the appropriate copyright information...not that that seems to help.

Don't worry, I'm not planning on leaving dA because my work is getting stolen, it is all part and parcel of having your work online. I will just have to be more stringent with my watermarks etc, though I've noticed that when my work is re-posted elsewhere they havn't made the effort to even get rid of the watermark so I don't know...

Anywho, I hope you're all well and as always I appreciate you taking the time to look at my work and leave your kind comments.

I just got back from watching Narnia: Prince Caspian at the movies and it was absolutely fabulous. Such a magical tale, and magically turned into a movie. Expect Narnia related artwork in the near future...especially Reepacheep
I am also revelling in the awesomness that is my new wacom tablet - I got the Intuos 6x11, and I must say it is just like drawing by hand, as I've always reverted to my sketch book when it came to getting ideas down because I felt my tablet just couldn't quite emulate that pencil and paper thing -but holy smokes, this tablet couldn't get much closer. And it also looks sleek and shiny and veeerrry bootiful.
Call me smitten and a little obsessed

I'm back, my holiday was great, everything was perfect and I came back with batteries fully charged and many ideas for artwork waiting to be done. But today I'm feeling a little sad and angry about just a few injustices at my work place and some health and safety issues that I will be bringing up shortly with my supervisors. I hate having to question my superiors about pretty major issues but it seems I have no choice and I am not the only one who is having problems. I can't wait for the day when I will be either self-employed or employed in a workplace that sees me as something other than a slave to be paid minimum wage.
ok not going to go on a major rant, but just know I'm back and hopefully I will be more active on here sooner rather than later when I 've got past my funk. I think a few hours on the piano will get it out of my system.

I'm going away for about a week and I'm not taking my laptop...eeep!
I'm going to have 7 days of complete un-art-related life....we'll just ignore the teeny-weeney moleskine sketch book I'm bring with me avec teeny weeny unnoticeable pencil and eraser. i won't be using them honest... Hopefully I will return with creative batteries fully charged and fired up for the summer of freedom from college assignments and raring to get some of my own work done...I have many big plans...which means non of them will probably get done and I'll reach the end of the summer thinking - where did the time go?

Anywho, hope you all stay well.
