3 min read
This last year has proven to be an emotionally, mentally and physically exhausting time and have had to deal with some of the most hardest issues my life to this point in time. I've gone through losing my full time employment then the unexpected passing of my Dad, coupled with financial stresses, love and all the issues in between. Have tried very hard to keep positive and focus on achieving my goals and really making something of my passion for art. Everyone has bad times and good times and this simple fact kept me going as well as believing in myself and trying to figure out what needed to be done and sticking to it.
I've had a few crappy and unlucky months but I believe that things will get better and if not a spock-like logical solution is always at hand. I love art, I love drawing and everything that comes with it, it's a difficult industry to get into too and artists really do go through a lot of crap, which many people don't understand, making us feel isolated at times. The rise of the internet, social networks and communities has changed the way we all work and proved to be a great resource for like minded designers and artists that want to communicate and do things a little differently.
Finances have always been a problem with artists and designers as so much of the equipment, software, tablets, pens, paints, etc are so damn expensive which leaves many of us working at 2 jobs or over working ourselves with gallons of coffee and coke to keep us going which is never a good thing. This work ethic dampens my imagination and creativity, but I dream, I take two steps back, make a few mistakes and take my learnings further by not keeping to a particular style or ethic and just doing what 'feels' best. I admire Bruce Lee and Gandhi for there rebelious nature and not conforming to everything but thinking many steps ahead in time and really visioning the future they would like to see. From birth to death nothing is accomplished without pain, heartache and loss which is probably why no amount of money could ever make anyone 'really' happy. Happiness is a state of mind and when there are bad times, I've had a bunch of great friends and family to keep me going through to the next level and love them all dearly and thank them for supporting, listening, advising and making me laugh!
Anyways, enough of that...this was supposed to be about my new website!! I've re branded and am finally happy and relieved it's all done and dusted! You can now directly call me through Skype from the site and have uploaded more from my gallery! Please all take a lookie and tell me your thoughts, would love any kind of feedback.
Peace Deviants.

I think I've developed a liking to sharpening pencils...maybe I just need to have a break from work and have some real fun!
Though shouldn't complain, have just finished off a really exciting project for DJ Marco V for his new studio album, Propaganda! The release is out this month for all you Marco V fans and should prove to be quite different to what you usually expect from an album release! Check out the following links for more info:
trance.nu/v4/news/music-is-the…
or
blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu…
for album preorders:
www.dobuymail.com/beyourself//…
Can't wait for this to drop! Brace yourselves for part 2 of the album with some specials later this year also.
Other than that, been busy freelancing on some side projects which I'll update to the gallery once signed off.
Started with some water paints the other night but wasn't happy with the strokes..hope it's not a block. Might be a good idea to take an inspiration break..ANY TIPS OR IDEAS??
