Just making an update here. A lot has happened since I posted my last journal. An awesome new year and christmas to start with. Then I had many a-level exams in January, got the results in March and found out I'd done much better than I expected. Then shortly after, I turned 18, and had something organised in London, went to Cocoon, tried the so famous Watermelon martini haha and celebrated it with friends. In February I had a few university interviews, but cancelled my ucas application shortly after, because I've now planned on taking a (productive) gap year. Not sure where yet, but I'm looking into some conservation projects and expeditions in Costa Rica and Guyana for the later half of my gap (dry season). During the first half I'll be (trying) to find some work in London. I recently got hold of a Holga camera, and some expired film so took it with me to London to test it out, and got soem fairly decent results but I still have a long way to go to get the best possible results. Anyway, school starts in a week time then it's only 5 more weeks left, then study leave with exams, then leavers ball, then end of term service/assembly and then I'm a free bird for the rest of the summer. XD

Hi, I've been extremely busy with so many things going on that I haven't had much time to spend on DA. I can see I've got a lot of favs, comments, adds etc. recently and I really want to get back to you (just don't want you to think that I'm ignoring you n_n) and I promise to get back to you as soon as I have more time on my hands. University applications have been going well so far, I've had an interview which I think went well, had an offer from another uni, been invited for an interview at another after having sent them my assessment task, and sending off my last application later this week (once I get my printed portfolio sorted). I won't be uploading anything new for a while now, but appreciate all the support I've been given. Thank you all. n_n

I've been really busy during the past two months, so sorry for being innactive. My uni application forms have now been sent off, so hopefully I'll be having my interviews round about november-december. I'm quite looking forward to them as they're one step closer to uni, except I'm shitting myself just thinking about them. This is a short return, but I'd just like to thank you all for your support, really means a lot to me. <3 I'll check out your new deviations.

Oh and my brother, =limonrouge recently joined deviantart and has been trying to work his way up the ladders so he asked me if I could feature him lol. So make sure to check him out:

I'm starting school tomorrow, and will start working in an architecture practice soon for some work experience. I'll be busy with a lot of other stuff as well, so won't really have time to create personal work, but might submit some school work from time to time when I've got a few minutes to spare. This is my last year of school and I'm going to have to work real hard to get where I want. I'm applying to Unies in October and will see how it goes. I'm also starting to put together a portfolio of all my best work, so if there's any work you think I should definitely include then feel free to show me. n_n I've just uploaded my last bits of work now (for a while)
.
I would also like to thank everyone who's supported me over the years and those amazing people who I've had the privilege of watching. Thank you all, and bye for now.

OK, enough waiting. I got tagged by

On the 3rd of June my painting [link]
'A Child's Dream' received a daily deviation, 5000 views, and 250 favourites. I'm sorry that I haven't done this earlier, but for the past 3 weeks I've been fully occupied with revision and my AS exams (to let you all know, I just had my last 5 hours of exams today, so taking a short break finally). I'd really like to thank for featuring my piece, it means a lot to me and I honestly wasn't expecting it. Thank you to all those who commented on it, ed it and added me to their watch list, I really really appreciate it, cheers.

I'll try to be more active now on DA and see if I can upload some recent work and I really want to get back into digital art.

Cheerio.
