Hello to all my watchers, and other randoms that pass by this page.

As many of you all may have noticed, I've not been very active recently. This is for a few reasons, the first being that because I'm in a different part of the house whilst the renovations are being completed in my bedroom, my connection is constantly wavering, making it hard to load dA. The second reason being something a little more important.

For a long time now I've found drawing to be a chore, and I no longer enjoy doing it anymore. Because of the various pressures of deadlines and impatient clients, the fun and thrill of being able to draw exactly what I see has been drained, and doesn't appear to be returning to me anytime soon. I have tried to start on different portraits, and draw things that I want, but I have completely lost the desire and will to create pencil portraits now. It's hard for me to admit this, as it has been a huge part of my life for the last few years, and it has become who I am, and what people know me for. If you watched me for my pencil work, don't expect to see any more of it for a very, very long time, because there won't be any.

I will continue to explore the digital mediums that I have been playing with, and I do hope to firstly finish my cg portrait of Johnny Depp, and continue on to do a few more of various other subjects.

So yeah, thats about it really. This doesn't mean I'm leaving dA (all you melodromatic people out there *rolls eyes*), it just means you won't be seeing pencil portrait art from me. (Lol, and saying this is probably going to make me go on a guilt trip and finish a portrait to submit hehe)


Love you all very much, thanks for all your support, and a shout out to ~therealarien for being so awesome. (Go check him out, because his stuff is pretty damn cool).

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter ...

Oh wow, that's quite a move. Good on you for recognising it though! No point sticking to (and feeling guilty about) past identity stuff if it no longer represents you (well, the morally-neutral stuff at least - like pencil drawing).

May you flourish in other expressive forms!

Yeah i think so. They are fairly used to people around them, as there are groups that go out and swim with them all the time. Quite tame.

ahaha, lol, that was classic :D We have hundreds of seals up the coast here in NZ around a place called Kaikoura, and we can usually get pretty close to them. My dad and I were out kayaking in the sea with them, and you could pretty much just reach out and touch them while they were playing. It was pretty spectacular
