Especially the fact that I can see my friends' new deviations and journals immediately is such a comfort for a non-subscriber like me!

Anyway - I know I have been lazy with summitting stuff, but....well...there is no stuff. BUT: I have a few things I got inspired by, and I sincerely hope to find time (and more inspiration still) to put a few things up here soon.
But I make not promises AT ALL, ok? ^^

Have a great weekend everyone and take good care!

Just now I'm preparing for my leave for the airport, cos - taraaa!!- I'm flyin to Ireland!
It's just a week, but I'm sure it will be great - seeing all my friends over there and enjoying myself, that's the plan!

And my tiny camera is packed, of course! So maybe I can be a bit creative again!

Wish you all a nice week!

But - it was mostly things I really enjoyed - spare time stress, if you want to call it like this.
And: I'm newly - and very happily - in love, so I think that did its part too! *wiiiide grin*

Unfortunately my little camera-baby is less than busy becos of that. But I really hope I can do a bit of picture-taking again soon! I really got lazy with that, I'm afraid.

I really try to keep up with watching your stuff, but after findin 121! new deviations and over 40 messenges here I did not even try to comment everything - I'm truly sorry bout that. But I really want to try and drop in here more often again!!!

So - I wish you all a lovely week!

...as you can see - I'm quite modest...just visited someone with more than 100,000 views! *hysterical giggle*

Anyway - thanks a lot, you viewers!

Unfortunately I always have to upload a lot of things at once, otherwise they'll never make it here!

Have a good time everyone!

I'm around here quite regularly, I watch you guys and I try to submit some stuff, but please forgive me for bein a lazy bi... when it comes to the journal, ok?

Well - have a nice week everyone and enjoy the summer (IF you have one! ^^)

Greets from Vienna!

Somehow I ...well...didn't want to think about it too much. And - dA was part of my "big adventure", so...sorry!

BUT - I really want to get back into photography again, I have a camera and - hey! - Austria has some nice things to take pictures of too!

So, I won't make any promises, but I try to put up some stuff again and I definately want to look in here a bit more often!

So, take care everyone, I have an eye on you!

Anyway, I finally managed to submit a few of my last Ireland-pics and - one of my new/old home: Vienna.

Life is going on for me now, I have a new job (unfortunately only part-time and therefore not really paying aaaall my bills), my old routine back and still a lot to think about after my time in Ireland.

One's for sure - I miss the island!

Greets to all, and take good care!

Now I can start drawing DIGITALLY! (not that this improves my talent much, but at least I can try to make it look a bit more...mhm...professional! ^^)

Anyway, I hope you are all well and doing fine, and I send you a from Vienna!

Well, I hope I get my snow, when I go home on Tuesday.
Yes. It's back to Austria. For good. So no more chances to make lovely sea-shots, but that doesn't mean, I give up photography! Oh no! I'm addicted now, and I want to get better!

At the moment I have no time for anything (photo-wise!^^) but I hope, I can post something soon again!

Wish you all a nice last week before X-mas!!!

Hope you don't think bad of me now...

Greets to you all!

That means, that I'm leaving Ireland in 19 (!) days to go back home to Austria.
My adventure is almost over, but, as they say on TV so often:
...to be continued!
Yeah, I think I'll come back again some time. Heck, I just love this country!

Didn't do lots of picture-taking lately, I'm busy with work, sparetime activities and well - the weather is not very co-operative either.

Hope to get some inspiration - and opportunity - to make some shots, and until then I sip my tea and put my wooly socks on and let December come!

The castle itself is closed for visitors, but the grounds are absolutely beautiful. Especially when you are as lucky as I was and go there on a sunny, clear autumn day!
I loved it!

Unfortunately the weather is really bad again, so I better curl up on the couch and don't put a toe out there!

Wish you all a nice weekend and take care!

We were wearing about 7 layers of clothes because it's really cold by now.
But - nothing happened. There were not rituals at the Hills of Tara. No fires, no sacrifices, nothing.

Well - there was at least the moon, looooots of stars and a great view. And - this kinda "special atmosphere".

So, we stayed there till all these kids arrived with there fireworks (typical Irish Halloween practice) and then we left.

I tried to pursuade my little digi-baby to make some night shot, well...she tried hard, but they are not really good. I might put some into "Scraps" anyway.

So, to keep a long story short - my Halloween was really cool, but not, what I had expected...Anyway, I enjoyed it!

]]> ~Chriswald http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/10558147/ http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/10558147/ Mon, 30 Oct 2006 10:33:49 PST A friend of mine and myself have a very special plan for Halloween tomorrow. We'll go to the Hills of Tara, the ancient seat of the High Kings of Ireland and hope to be able to follow very special, very old Samhain celebrations there.
Here in Ireland there are still people who's religion is named "pagan" in there passports. And these people obviously meet in Tara for the pagan "new years eve" and to say thank you's for the last years harvest to the old gods.

I really, really hope, that something is going on there - and that we're allowed to join them (and I'll keep a friend's advise in mind: "don't queue for anything! Might be the line for the sacrifices!" ).
If we do, and if we are allowed to take pics (what I actually doubt a lot), I'll shoot EVERY little detail, promised!

Happy Halloween everyone - if you don't hear from me anymore...well...than I DID queue in the wrong line!

And why do they come up most when I try to submit something?

A sign?

Tryin to tell me something, dA?

They throw cats - LIVING - cats into bonfires...for "fun".

I can't see the fun in that.

I wonder if they would still laugh if someone threw THEM into the fire.

Only bad thing is a little cold, that's trying to creep into my head (and my nose!) for the whole day now. Well - I'm living with a doctor now, so I should be safe, no? So - nice little vitaminpills, a hot bath and a very lazy weekend, and I should be fine again. That's what she said, anyway!
I also wished I had an internetconnection at work (still don't have one), so that I could hang around here more often.

Well, at least the weather is surprisingly good and warm over here which makes me almost suspicious...


Anyway - I wish you all a nice weekend, I'm over in Galway, so no internet for two days! Take care everyone!

]]> ~Chriswald http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/10336504/ http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/10336504/ Mon, 09 Oct 2006 12:35:41 PDT
But if I don't do them all at once, I won't do them for a long time.

These are a few impressions of Finland, bits'n'pieces that caught my eye.

My life is going quite well at the moment, I just settle in in my new place and I like it so far. Still, I am aware that my time in Ireland is over soon (only 10 weeks) left, and that confuses me a bit. I'm really looking foward to going home, but then again - I'll miss it, I'm sure!
Well, all I can do is enjoy my remaining time here and - take a lot of pics!

]]> ~Chriswald http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/10259335/ http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/10259335/ Mon, 02 Oct 2006 12:28:02 PDT Thing is - I'm now living together with a really nice housemate, so most of the time we spend the evenings together, chatting or having a nice glass of wine - it would be not very polite to sit on the computer then, right?
And: I still have no internetconnection at work. I got a PC on friday, but it's not even set up yet.
So - I have lots of pictures (also from my weekend in Dublin), but nobody is working through them for me... pity.
Hopefully I get things going soon, really want to post a few new things that I actually like!

Hope, you are all very well, and greets to you!

Thing is - I have to find time to see them through and stuff... So, please be patient, I try to put up some pics soon!

Have a nice day/week everyone!

PS: Rendeer-Steak tastes absolutely delicious!

PPS: Sorry for my really short entries... but one day I'm in a hurry, the other I'm tired...like today... *yawn*

Hope to get a chance for a few nice shot...well, I'm sure I get some!

Anyways...see ya again next week!

Take care everyone! ]]> ~Chriswald http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/10101409/ http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/10101409/ Sun, 17 Sep 2006 13:00:59 PDT Two weeks offline and... 119 deviations, 37 messages! AAAAAH!
And I don't really have the time to read everything!
So, to keep it short: sorry, my friends, but that's a tiny bit too much for me at the moment! But I swear, I'll have more time again, and then I'll visit every one of you, watch your pics and comment on them, ok?

Special thanx to who made a new ID for me! Thank you so much, my friend!

Why I don't have time? Well... I just came back from a marvellous holiday at home (it was GREAT!!!), I'm now living in a new house in a new town, with a new housemate, a new cat and a new job. My last part of my "Ireland-adventure" started, before I go back home to Austria in December.

And - I'll go to Helsinki on the 20th, for five days!
It's a work trip, but - to be honest - it'll be more of a holiday! And the best thing about it: everything is paid for! *sigh* I love my job!

Now, I haven't forgotten you all, I promise, and I'll be back "completely" after my trip to Finnland (I have internet at home now, yeah! :dancing: ) - I couldn't do without you all anymore anyway!

So, take good care! ]]> ~Chriswald http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9925546/ http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9925546/ Fri, 01 Sep 2006 02:05:15 PDT But I had a busy week, and it's not getting anything calmer the next few days.
My job here in Athlone is over (I was just covering for a sick leave) and I'm moving on to Mullingar now (which is further east). So, I have to move all my stuff over there, then spend a few more days here with my friends, give back the key for my house and - go on holidays on Tuesday (back home to Austria)! Yeah!

I have no clue how often I will be here in the next two weeks (if at all!), so don't take it personally, if you don't hear from me! I'll try to keep an eye on your art work, but as I said...

Ok, so take care everyone, have a nice weekend and enjoy yourself!

Woooooot! Now, that's a nice surprise! I got a free "test all the benefits of being a subscriber" - week from dA! Cool! Thank you!

Well... That means that I have to hang around here even more!!
Pity is - my last week in this job starts on Monday, before I move on to another job, in another town. So I don't know how much time I will have for dA this week... But I'll try my best, I really want to use it as long - and as much - as I can!
Thing is - I can already see what the advantages are (just checked my messages and friends' deviations - and GOSH! - it's much easier!). And - I know of course, that dear dA lets me taste some blood, so that I want more!

Mhm... It may very well work! I just haven't made up my mind yet, cos I don't know how much access to the internet I'll have in the next few months, so it might not be worth it... But we'll see - comes time, comes Chris subscribing! XP

Anyway - I'll have a closer look around right away! Take care everyone!

It's not the best (especially, cos I look so "oh pleeeeaz!!! Stop making pictures of me!"), it's not mine - a friend of mine shot it, I only edited it - and, well.... it's a pic of me, so i don't like it!

I might change it soon, anyway, because I found this really funny pic of me, just want to work on it a bit, and then put it up here! At least as long as I am waiting for my "professional ID" by caddman!

Take good care everyone! ]]> ~Chriswald http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9800357/ http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9800357/ Mon, 21 Aug 2006 04:30:18 PDT Coming back after a nice, relaxing weekend, opening dA and finding that...well...stigmatised number on my frontpage.

Aeh... I mean... is that a sign or something?

I think... I'm afraid.

I had some lovely days up there with my friend, and I took a good few pictures. But now that I have submitted some of them, I realize that they DO need some editing, I'm afraid. They looked perfectly ok yesterday evening, but maybe just because I was really tired then!

But at least I'm doing something again, which feels good! Photoshop, I'm coming!!!

Take care, everyone! ]]> ~Chriswald http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9686687/ http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9686687/ Fri, 11 Aug 2006 04:44:59 PDT ) and seeing some friends. Unfortunately it was only for the weekend...not long enough for my taste! But I'll be back for two weeks in September, so that will be more fun then!
I really enjoyed it anyway- and: I managed to do some "over the clouds pics" from the plane!
But they have to wait, I'm afraid, cos I was sick the last two days, and still dont' feel "100%".

But still, I'm going up to Donegal (North-West of Ireland) with a friend today, to stay there for the weekend - and hopefully get a few lovely photos there!

So, take good care everyone and have a nice weekend!!! ]]> ~Chriswald http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9583397/ http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9583397/ Thu, 03 Aug 2006 01:31:08 PDT

You'll get that back, be sure!

Anyway - here are the rules:
Rules: List 10 things about you that are weird and post into your journal. Then tag 6 people to do it.


Aaaalright...let me think....mhm....

1. I always read the last half a page of a new book that I'm going to read.
2. My coffee always gets cold before I drink it
3. I can sleep on busses, trams and undergrounds, but not in my bed, if there's noise outside the window (or in the next room...even if it's not really loud)
4. I'm over 30 but still a "child at heart"
5. I have no 3-dimensional vision...but I'm coping with it
6. Although I'm awefully lazy, I can be quite OCDish from time to time...
7. I'm absolutely NOT into computer games
8. I have a driving licence but I never drive
9. While I drink a pint of cider, my irish friends drink three!
10. I just realized, that I'm so "normal" it's almost boring....


Well, that's it, me thinks! Not very spectacular, but well...that's me!

Anyway, I'm quite excited cos I fly home this weekend to surprise my mom (it's her birthday) and I can't wait to see my family and my friends!
Yeah!!! I'm going home....
It's only for the weekend, but anyway...

Ok, take good care everyone, I have to go back to work!!!
]]> ~Chriswald http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9487668/ http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9487668/ Tue, 25 Jul 2006 08:33:50 PDT
But, actually, it's all your fault! YES! Every time I open this page, there are loads and loads of new deviations and journals to read, and then I always forget about my journal. Or I have to go back to work. Honestly!!!

But then again - there is nothing interesting to tell you anyway. Nothing I can think of now. I'm generally having a good time, work that I still like and a lovely Irish summer.

And - I hardly do any pictures at the moment. I'm really busy with meeting people, spending time with my friend, who is over from home, and so on and so on. I had a nice opportunity for a few shots last Saturday - but then I realized that you HAVE to recharge the battery of your camera from time to time. BEFORE you want to use it.

Anyway, I hope I can do some more stuff SOON, and in the meantime I just enjoy the results of your hard work! Hehe...

Take good care of you, out there! ]]> ~Chriswald http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9403085/ http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9403085/ Mon, 17 Jul 2006 08:23:46 PDT

The weekend was amazing but quite exhausting...and in parts quite annoying (thanks to MILLIONS of tourists, Aran Ferries and Bus Eireann!!! )

I took a few pictures, nothing really fancy, and have to edit them, to put some new stuff in here again....after being really lazy!

But all the heat (we must have round 30 degrees by now), the lack of sleep and the stressful journey back from the Aran Islands yesterday must take its toll on me... I'm almost falling asleep while I'm walking.

So - I'll go home now, me thinks and have a nice evening with a friend from home, who's visiting me at the moment!

Take good care everyone!

(I LOVE sheep! ) ]]> ~Chriswald http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9342001/ http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9342001/ Tue, 11 Jul 2006 10:34:25 PDT Well, I had a nice weekend, I can say, though the weather was just
But well - I'm in Ireland, what did I expect?

I really enjoyed "Pirates of the Carribean"- although I won't say much about it here, otherwise I'm pretty dead...I know a few people, who are still waiting for the release.... I will NOT spoil their fun!

Anyway, I didn't have much time to play around with photoshop - just a little "exploring" of the different tools and stuff. Looks like great fun! YEAH!

AND: another opportunity for a few nice shots wasted... I had to go to a really old, really cool looking psychiatric hospital yesterday - to WORK there!
And wow! It was quite impressiv - and kinda spooky. A touch of "goth", worn down, lonely...I wonder how people with mental illnesses are suppost to get WELL in there...
But I will work there again anway - and then I'll know to bring my camera!!!

Take good care, everyone!

PS: 400 pageviews! Cool! THANK YOU!!! ]]> ~Chriswald http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9299404/ http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9299404/ Fri, 07 Jul 2006 08:03:39 PDT

So, I'll head on to Galway soon, just wanted to say a quick HELLO to you out there, before I start into a busy weekend with Johnny Depp, BBQ and "fun with Photoshop" (which I got on my laptop...at last! ).

So - take care everyone, and..."BEAT TO QUARTERS!!!! THE PIRATES ARE COMING!!!!"

So maybe I will do a few more pictures soon, and compensate for lack of technique of my camera by editing the photos afterwards.

Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me yesterday evening, when there was this awesome atmosphere before a thunderstorm - golden evening sun, shining on trees and houses, and in the bachground black, towering clouds... wonderful. But...no camera. Grmpf.

Anyway, hope you had a nice weekend everyone!

Take care!

- countdown: 4 days! ]]> ~Chriswald http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9228698/ http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9228698/ Fri, 30 Jun 2006 06:21:55 PDT
And once again I realize that I'm getting better with drawing faces, BUT - I hate hands! Grrrr.... Why are they so hard to do? I mean - there's actually nothing complicated about them, is it? But still I'm lost every time... And it's the same with feet, by the way!

I know that we need our extremities - but still....

Have a nice weekend everyone (here in Ireland the is back...at least for the moment!) and take good care of you!

After complaining a lot about the scanner yesterday I couldn't resist to take another look at the pictures on my laptop at home. And - biiiig surprise! - they came out ok!!!!
So - here they are, two new ones, and to edits.

I still don't understand it.... ]]> ~Chriswald http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9188850/ http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9188850/ Mon, 26 Jun 2006 11:53:04 PDT

I brought some new drawings (and the two that are already in here) to the internet cafè today, to scan them...so that I can put them up here in better quality (I can't stand photos of drawings...grrrr) - but well, what can I say. The scanner here SUCKS!!!! My goodness, now that's REALLY bad quality (and I haven't even started to critizise my "ART"! ).

Mhm... I'm really disappointed now... Can't buy a scanner...so...more crappy photos of a beginner's art...

Well...at least my little emoticon-friends managed to cheer me up a bit....

Oh god.
How pathetic.



Take care everyone! ]]> ~Chriswald http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9154866/ http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9154866/ Fri, 23 Jun 2006 01:50:13 PDT

It was a cool trip anyway (not only weatherwise...brrrr) - cos I could fulfill a little dream of mine - I had a real hawk sitting on my fist! It was great! I really like birds of prey, and it was a wonderful feeling to be so close to one of these beauties! Her name was Curr by the way, and she allowed me to touch her!
Yeah!!!

you all!

PS: I need your help, by the way! I want to get a tattoo, but can't really decide what, so I tried to draw one on my own.

Gone for two days and - wooooosh! "Deviant Chriswald has 34 new messages"

...

Gulp.


Thing is - I love reading all the comments, seeing my friends' new deviations, reading their journals, getting opinions on my pictures, or just "chatting" along with everyone (AND - being joined to someone's family even! Wolfie!). BUT - I hardly had any time yesterday, which annoyed me a bit - YES! I'm finally doing some work in here!

The workshop was great! I really learned a lot, it was very interesting, I met lovely people and I feel a great deal more confident now, should I come in the situation where someone needs my help to find another way than suicide.
Mhm...was that an English sentence now???



Anyway - thanx for all the contact! I feel very much "at home" here already, and even if I'm just a beginner, coming to arts, I don't feel lost or left out. And that's a very, very nice feeling!

So - biiiiig for all of you and take good care! ]]> ~Chriswald http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9047006/ http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9047006/ Mon, 12 Jun 2006 12:57:45 PDT
That's why I packed all my latest pictures in here at once. Hope you like it!

Have a nice time, while I learn interesting things about suicide-prevention, take care and see ya soon! ]]> ~Chriswald http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9042721/ http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/9042721/ Mon, 12 Jun 2006 08:48:30 PDT ) and the good thing is, that I can concentrate a bit more on my WORK...cos that's what I get paid for.... but then again - I'M COMPLETELY ADDICTED!

Anyway, I had a lovely weekend in Galway, visiting my ex-housemates and seeing this year's "gratuate exibition" at the arts-college. Wow! I was deeply impressed! I mean - to be perfectly honest with you - some of the stuff I just didn't .. understand, as it happens to me again and again with (modern) pieces of art. Others I didn't really understand but definitely enjoyed! And some were quite obvious anyway.
Yeah, that was a fine exibition I have to say and now I must hold my fingers crossed for my friend, that she gets her 4th (and last) year, cos only 11 people of each class are allowed to do so! So -

Ok, that's it for now, hope I don't forget my stuff again tomorrow and wish you all nice day!

Take care!


PS: Check out today's Journal of JohannTodesengel - it's awesome! ]]> ~Chriswald http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/8987087/ http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/8987087/ Tue, 06 Jun 2006 09:59:45 PDT
The poor Irish suffer a lot, I can tell you - but I LOVE IT!!!!

After a really relaxing weekend up in Donegal, spending most of the time hanging around on different beaches, getting a nice tan, I'm back with a good load of pics that I have to sort out now - nice work, nice memories!

So - I send all of you some of the gorgious weather here, you might need it, and we have enough of it anyway! ]]> ~Chriswald http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/8926311/ http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/8926311/ Wed, 31 May 2006 01:48:03 PDT
So much talent, so many galleries, so much pics I want to add to my favs! Sometimes I feel like a little kid, that stands in front of a candy shop and just.... wants them ALL!!!!

But anyway, I really have to get up and do something myself, but *sigh* it still feels quite odd to put my stuff in here (see above! ).
At least I found a scanner I can use, so the times of taking bad fotos of my ... well... drawings are over! And I'm going up to Donegal on the weekend, hope I can take a few good shots up there! ]]> ~Chriswald http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/8879805/ http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/8879805/ Fri, 26 May 2006 02:37:57 PDT
Anyway, as I can't put in drawings (yet), and I'm not really good at drawing anyway, I try to experiment a bit more with my cam....
Wish you all a very nice weekend! ]]> ~Chriswald http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/8854159/ http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/8854159/ Tue, 23 May 2006 12:02:53 PDT ]]> ~Chriswald http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/8852597/ http://Chriswald.deviantart.com/journal/8852597/ Tue, 23 May 2006 08:28:46 PDT And the other one at home...and no internet yet). U see - completely lamed...
But I'll try to put on some photos (maybe also one or two of my pencil drawings), to feel a bit more ART and less DEVIOUSLY!

Have a nice day everyone! ]]> ~Chriswald
