Speaking of that, thanks for all the favourites and comments that have been made over the last load of months. I had so many messages it would have taken bloomin' ages to reply to, so I just deleted them.
I'm a cad, I know, so I'm saying thanks to you all now. I will try to keep up to date with them.

I just need to go through my huge stack of deviations now.

Sadly, last night, we had to have one of the Whales put to sleep.
She'd been ill for sometime, not eating, dreaming of lice, and it really was the best thing to do for her.
I'm not sure how this will affect the other Whale, but then he was always was a bit of loner. He's more in than out to be honest and I'm sure he's been carousing with the local Tom Cats and Hyper Foxes that inhabit the filthier end of the street. I think I saw Mrs Tompins at number fifteen feeding him Cornflakes laced with syrup. He'll get too big for his Whaleflap at this rate.
I hope he doesn't pine.

We had witches in the garden again last night. I usually don't mind, I sometimes even leave a bit food out for them (dog or catfood, never bread soaked in milk) as they keep the toad and newt population down, but there must have been at least ten or twelve dancing and chanting about on my lawn.

One was carving mystic sigils into the fence which I am NOT having.

I threw my slipper at them and they soon scattered.

I'm thinking of getting a plastic Warlock set up in the flowerbeds...that should keep them away.

My 4th Doctor painting is for sale, I wasn't going to sell it but needs must.

ALSO, the first issue of Wander, my comic, is also for sale.

Please, help me out and commision something from me as well. It would make me very happy, very happy indeed.

It's not very big, but still, a print it is. If this does well, I might well knock up a few more Who paintings.

Buy it, by clicking the picky.

EDIT!
I also made a few more available.

it has been nine months (blimey) since I last spoke to you all, and now I need you to do something for. I have a story appearing the Indie Spinner Rack Awesome anthology ([link]) and I need everyone who can to pre-order this lovely tome. It's got some great people in it (including me) so you really would be missing out if you didn't buy it.

Yes, that's right true believers, I am now open for commisions.
Whether it be a sketch, doodle, crayon mark on the back of an envelope or even a full blown painting, I'm your man!

I haven't a list of prices, so if you want anything let me know either by email ( richard@richardtingley.co.uk) or by the Deviant Art note system.

I look forward to doing business with you.

I want to keep producing my paintings, but I have several directions I want to take them in. But do I go one direction with paintings and one direction with digital stuff? Does my digital work and my painted work need to be similar? Do I keep doing comic stuff? I've got something I want to try, a weekly thing, but do I have time to? Will it make money?
Will any of it any make any money. That's a big question, one that one day I'd like answered because I would love to do that. I would love to.
I don't know, I'd set myself a target of selling at least one painting by the end of the month and so far I have got nowhere near that.
Its all so confusing and it's stopping me sleeping.
I'm not expecting any help or answers I just needed somewhere to spout all this crap...I don't know if it helped.

I am looking for artists who live in my area or within the west sussex region...yes, yes I know that there are loads, but I'm not interested in those who can do watercolours of Venice or kittens poking out of boots.
I'm looking for alternative artists, or low-brow artists or people who do stuff that doesn't really fit into the regular category?

Why?
I'll tell you.

One. I don't want to be alone out here anymore.
Two. It would be nice to form some kind of art group that's not full of middle aged women.
Three. I'd like to set up some kind of gallery type showing thing.

Please bare in mind I have no idea how to set up something like this, or have no financial backing...or even a venue but it's something I'm very, very interested in.

Please let me know by email or a deviantart note.

Cheers

I had no ideas and had no urge to actually do anything...and all that changed a few days ago.

I am making it my intention to try and do this drawy/animationy thing for a living.

Any way, now to plough through the thousand or so Deviations that've clocked up.

I don't feel depressed or anything, far from it...I just seem to be in a sort of creative limbo.

Why doesn't my brain work like these guys.
and .

I'm not talking about the artwork, despite not seeing what everyone else see's I know I can draw and I know that people like it so that's fine, its just the way their minds work.

And its not just with these guys, there are load's of other artists out there who seem to have that little spark, that little smidgeon of creative playfulness and intelligence that I don't think exists in me and that stands them apart.

How do you tap into that stuff? How do you dig deeper? Is it just there or do you have to work at it?

I think its that 'thing' that makes these people artists and the rest of us just workers at the mill.


OH, and WOOO, I made it past the 2,000 page views.

Mines not at the moment...well it is because I've got quite a few freelance jobs on which means I'm nice and busy...but I have a cold...again, and I have to go to work to my proper job, which is a pain.

So, my life could be a lot more exciting...maybe I should say it holds the promise of excitement...I don't now, I'm waffling.

All of that doesn't lead me on to next point, but I'm going to make it anyway.
I'd really like to get to know all the kind people who watch me a little better, so you become more than just names and avatars. There's a few people whom I've started to chat to proplerly but I need to speak to more, you see, I really like people.
SO, I'm urging you all to start putting messages and stuff in the forum on my journal page, its sitting there empty when it could be filled with lots of lovely new people.
That way we can all become more than avatars and names...which reminds me, I really must change mine, its not christmas anymore.

Ok, the writing wasn't that great, and the plot didn't make much sense and it has possibly the worst portrayal of Dracula I have ever seen, but that didn't matter. It had monsters, fighting, it had flying bat creature things, it had over the top stunts but most of all I really loved the idea behind it.
I love the blurring of fact and fiction, and the mixing of genres and characters. Kim Newman does it in his Dracula books, and The League of Extraordianry Gentlemen (both the comics and the film) do it as well. Stick it all in a period film and bingo, I'm hooked.

If going someone makes Sherlock Holmes vs Dracula (an excellent book) my life will be complete.
