Hi all, it's been a long time since I updated this. Apparently last time was September 2007, time has certainly flied but I don't know about the having fun part..

Since then the gallery has had some extra organisational gadgetry implemented with java by the looks of it, so I've had a go at organising my stuff some and I'm trying to get psyched to add more artwork.

I'd also like to let everyone know that I have enough time on my hands to accommodate paid commissions at the moment, if you are interested fire me a note and let me know what you want. I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

What a load of bollocks, you need a subscription in order to put images in your journal...? I just spent an hour making a new header as well. I guess I'll do without, I don't think DA will need me lining their pockets now they have people paying for pageviews anyway. And I'm still waiting on seeing my money from print sales.. Beginning to think I've been a bit shafted there.

Ranting aside, after a rather prolonged haitus I have kind of returned to drawing. I say kind of because in the next few weeks I'm going to be pretty busy again and I don't know how long I'll be able to keep it up but I'll try my best.

I recently came back from a conference in Rotterdam which was pretty nifty, and the next one is going to be in Japan which should make for a nice holiday without having to pay for the plane tickets. Gotta love those postgrad student perks.

Thanks to all those who are still watching me despite my bouts of inactivity, it's nice to know people have faith I'm still alive.

Or are just too lazy to stop watching. Either way it's all good.

Miss PhD

2 min read
Ah I haven't been around here in a good while now. Why? Because I've been busy that's why.

After finishing my BSc at Uni I spent a month working in an NHS lab as a medical lab assistant, but since managed to swindle myself a PhD studentship at the same Uni I did my BSc. My wage slip went towards a holiday to Whitby for the goth festival so it all worked out well, and now I have just started studying for my PhD... Which means in 3 years time I will be a Dr. I'm really enjoying it so far and definitely think it was a good move to take, anyway.

So needless to say I have been too busy to do any hardcore drawing, even for Halloween. Sorry about that but you know; priorities and all that ;)


Once everything is settled I dare say I will get back into the swing of things but until all the important life stuff is out of the way I won't have much time for artsy stuff, so watch this space. I'll be around intermittantly regardless of whether I am drawing or not anyway, though.

===========

My journal header this time is basically what it's like the 1st few weeks when you start a PhD... I won't bore you with the title of my research project but I assure you there's a fuckload of reading for me to get up to speed with.
Oh, and yeah, I had a fringe cut. It looks... different (to put it diplomatically)..

Yes, as the title implies I have now officially finished at university and got my final results through.

I have now attained a bachelor of science (hons) first class degree in biomedical sciences.

As you can imagine I'm well chuffed about getting a first, my graduation ceremony is in November. In the meantime I'm looking for lab tech jobs and (more preferrably) PhD's. So fingers crossed for that.

On the art front things have been pretty thin for me recently, what with exams and finding jobs and whatnot, but something has caught my eye recently and got me back into the swing of things. A gothic lolita outfit design competition hosted by a company I regularly buy from. The winning design gets made for real to your measurements for free! I couldn't pass that up. My design sheet is in my gallery, if you really like it and would like to see it made for real you can sign up and vote it for manufacture here =]

Hopefully these outfit design things will keep my drawing and I won't run out of steam, only time will tell.

Thanks for all the faves and watches while I have been inactive, I don't have the time to thank you all individually but I tried my best! I really appreciate all the support and people who watch me regardless of lot output when I'm busy!

======================

My journal header this time is commemorating the process of trying to obtain a Holy Win blade from the Last Crusader on Vagrant Story for the psx. 3% drop rate... Wah! :<

I don't understand why you can't just snatch the bloody thing from his hands!


:iconph-fans: For the win!

:icontda-3d: What're ya buyin'?

Wow, I come back after a few months and have hit 15,000 views, and have actually sold a few prints, too. Thanks! Also, sorry for anyonw who sent me notes and I haven't replied in my absence.

I'm kind of touched with all the people asking if I'm okay when I've been inactive. It's nice to know people give a shit, but in future don't worry yourself; I just have an erratic schedule. I always come back in the end ;)

Anyways; during my absence I have been busy entirely with university work. I have finished all my final exams (I've never sat exams as harsh in my life) and have completed the practical period of my final project (6 weeks lab work). I'm now in the process of forming my project report after which... The course is over!! :dance:

I'm planning on following up my degree with further research as a PhD student and have applied for a few (awaiting interview) so fingers crossed! I'm well in with one which is most appealing to me since the supervisor is my current project supervisor ;)

Anyway, it's not like anyone is interested in my future plans so I'd better write something artsy.
I finally finished a piece I started in December (was going to be an Xmas piece) but revision and various other things slowly took over my free time and I had to put it on hold. I hope that will satisfy my hungry watchers for now until my project write-up is complete and I can draw more =]

=======================================================

For anybody who is interested and wondering; the journal header this time was inspired by the way WESTERN BLOTTING has come to affect me over the last 6 weeks doing my project.
If anybody reading this has ever performed western blotting you'll understand where I'm coming from with this.
My boyfriend, as always, was on the receiving end of my rants.



UPDATE: I've just got my tickets booked for the Silent Hill movie at Cineworld Sheffield at 3pm. ROCK!


:iconph-fans: I will need a change of pants on the 21st...

:icontda-3d: Oh Baenlin! Waaaaaaah!
