I have not died...

Sat Sep 26, 2009, 7:21 PM
  • Mood: It's Hot
  • Playing: with shiva
I haven't been on DA for well over a year now... And I could give any amount of excuses, tell you my life has been busy and changing, but the truth is that I'm a lazy bitch and stopped visiting.
Then when I did, my message bank got to over 6000 (which took a good hour and a half to clean out) and then there were the shiny new features to learn how to use.

But now I'm back because I missed it here, amongst the art and the artists.


I finally got my art groove back (I was in a bit of a slump for a while) and have a whole stack of new artworks and sketches that want posting, and i have a fantastic new job, which is doing wonders for my art. A great job. Possibly the greatest job of all...

Yeah I finished being a receptionist and now I'm in my first year of being a Tattoo Apprentice!

FUCK YES!

6 days a week, 9 till 6 (or 7, or 8) getting paid to draw. Getting paid to help people come up with a brilliant and permanent artwork.

BEST JOB EVER.

I'm not yet tatttoing though, but I'll keep you posted when I am.

If you're in Brisbane though, and thinking of getting a tattoo but want an original design feel free to visit, I'm at Psychedelic Tattooing down in Mount Gravatt. You know what I can do, and my boss Paul is such a brilliant tattooist he can ink what I draw perfectly. His work is some of the best and most realistic I've seen in Australia, and he's already done some work on me (and I'm a picky bitch).

I don't charge for designs if you come to our studio to get it inked either.

So yeah, my life is fantastic, how about yours?

Man... I can see how you seem to manage to make a living out of drawing while I scrub kitches to earn a wage, sweet gallery.

Haha, thanks dude. I just draw pretty pictures, they don't have to function like yours and vi's do.
When our net gets back to anything above dinosaur crawl speed I'll upload stuff from the last 12 months.

To be honest about 60% of my drawings are just crap I thought would look cool too...
Yeah, heard your 'net hadn't bounced back like it was supposed to.

The net here is always temperamental.
Hey did you draw that communist pole thing in Levi's room? I saw you have a model of the pole thing on your page.
