It has been almost 5 months since I created anything new. A full 5 since I created anything original. 5 Months with no inspiration, no ideas, nothing.
This morning I sat down and finally had the right will to work. I worked for 2 hours on a partly finished piece from last year. I had maybe 5 minutes of work left to on it and was really happy with it. And photoshop had one of it's lovely little 'screw you' moments and locked up. Complete freeze.
Of course I hadn't saved. I can't remember a single time I remembered to save frequently and then had a crash, or freeze, or system failure, or powercut. Not once. But you can bleeding well gurantee that when I forget to save and am actually happy with my efforts some little line of code, capacitor or gremlin somewhere will spaz out and wreck it all.
So yeah, **** you Adobe.

Synaptic Fragments
A view of how my Alien-Hybrid imagination stumbles through this existence via rough sketches and ideas.

I take it back...
You know what, I don't want to say good bye and sign off. Not even for a bit. DA kept me working for four years, gave me inspiration and a reason to create work - to share.
Dammit, I need to be more proactive. I'm going to put up some unsubmitted work and get back to it! Yeah!
(we'll see how this goes. If I go silent, you'll know I gave up again)
Inactive
I forget that even if I'm not giving it much attention, others may still be looking at my pages here, so I think it's wise I update my journal.
Basically my account here is pretty much inactive now. I haven't made much work over the last couple of years really; I struggle for ideas, get bored way too easily and what artwork I do come up with tends to be traditional paitings and drawings done while I'm at work that never make it to a digital format.
Please still feel free to browse and comment. I may be back one day.
Bye for now.
Devious Journal Entry
So no Journal for a while.
Still very happily engaged, with plans gradually rolling forward to our wedding, even if that is still rather distant. We're also well on the way to owning our first house, all agreed and we're now waiting on the legal cogs to slowly turn.
Been making a lot more work lately, overall output is still pretty low, but at least I'm steadily producing work again, rather than sitting worrying about it. As well as my digital work on here I'm trying to keep drawing more as my pencil skills were getting a little rusty, and I'm also starting to do more paper-cuts, hopefully somethign I can start selling in the near future.
An engagement
Nice to be able to put up a fresh journal for such a huge, and positive occasion.
Got engaged to my girlfriend this weekend :)
Have had a lovely weekend, took her away to an incredible, medieval styled hotel in the Midlands (UK) where I proposed, and we had a beautiful and wonderful stay, then thoroughly enjoyed spending Sunday touring round to visit friends and relatives to share the news. Is awesome making so many people happy.
on other notes, OMG IT'S COLD!!!
UK seems to be in a deep freeze. Snow and ice finally started to clear up after 2 weeks, only for a freezing fog to drop that seems hell bent on keeping me locked out of my car.

Damn, I'm so sorry to hear that. I know how demoralizing that is.
