July 2012

Well, unfortunately I've done very little art in the last six months. Only one art job. I think I'd like to gear myself towards concept and production design as it might be more fulfilling, and maybe better paid (well it couldn't be worse paid) but whilst I know some people in the field it's difficult to find a way in with little actual experience. I'd need to up my game too looking at production art. I think I have good design ideas in me but implementing them to the required standard means learning some new techniques I think. Somehow I haven't had time to do any creative art for a while, and feeling disillusioned with it doesn't help: not getting the breaks, proposals have fallen through, fees seem to be dropping etc. I've kept my hand in fortnightly with life drawing, but that's about it. Was looking for a flat to move into, but with my finances as they are that's not going to happen unless fortunes change drastically, well, that and family issues.

My creative side is kept afloat with music, I'm drumming at a charity gig soon, with the guitarist from Whitesnake, and the bassist from Mike Oldfield's band, amongst others. So that should be fun at least.
