I finally fixed my scanner but then realised I have very little finished work :'D 99% of my art has been either wierd fine art stuff for college or it was just a happy little doodle. Oops

Buuut I have a fair amount of 3D things that are almost done, so I'll have those ready to photograph tomorrow perhaps? Sometime this week anyway! They're all felted or simpler sculpey things, with a bit of wirework thrown in too.

My portfolio for college is all done now so I'm onto making things for cons & a shop in my town, Devilish Designs ^.^ So I can be a bit more regular again, yay.

I don't think I have any exciting personal news, I'm staying with my friend this week, which is wonderful because she lives so far awaaaay ;__; I also have a lot of saving up to do for neutering ferrets & festivals this summer, I'd like to not deal with that though...

So... Anyone want some art?
I'm having the biggest gummy craving of my life right now & I'm skint on money so if anyone wants some pen & ink art please send me what ever sweets you can >.<  
I'm not picky, but gummy sharks/dolphins are kind of my heart's desire right now.
This sounds like a joke, doesn't it?
But nope, I will art for you if you sugar for me :I

In other news, I want to move Portland, Oregon

*& with that she threw the last of her dignity away & flounced out of the room*

an illustrator. I wish I could do an illustration course. If Ireland had one.
After half a year of doing a fine art portfolio course the only fun I've had so far was today when I got to stay at home & just do what I wanted in my own sketchbook, none of this pretentious shite.

It's not that I don't get it, I do. I can pick a good composition, my colour palette isn't awful, my tone, texture, volume etc is all fine, I understand all the theory, there isn't any reason as to why I shouldn't be able to do it. I just don't care. I try to, but all I want to draw today is animals dancing to swing & being flappers. Monsters, girls, fantasy creatures, animals... That's what I like. I can write essays on art appreciation, I can see what artists are trying to say, but it's all dull & still & flat to me. I almost never like anyone else's art in a gallery. Maybe that's terribly self involved of me, Idk.

I could draw & sculpt & ink & colour wash all day every day. I'd be happy moving to any corner of the earth & living off of cheap-ass noodles for years so long as I could do what I love & live with my dog. I don't mind taking risks & being constantly broke, so long as it actually leads somewhere. I'm pretty happy just hanging out with my dog & doing my own art. Not their art.

I'm being pushed into sculpture by this course & I can't even tell if I like it or not any more.
Then there's model making, which is either just sitting around at a desk on a computer doing digital all day, or is actually fun, I can't really tell because there's no information on it.

They are actually giving me the worst guidance in this course imaginable. The actually told me "stop worrying about the future! Just live in the here & now. Sure no one knows where they'll be in five years so don't worry about it. Pick whichever course looks like the most fun. You know what your problem is? You're too serious" They also said some horrid personal stuff to me which was completely unnecessary, it wasn't related to my work there or really had anything to do with them or that tutorial, I don't know why the hell they said it. Then I did that really embarrassing thing I thought I had taught myself not to do in public anymore & cried >.<

So no help there. I don't really know anyone who can help with all of this & it's stressing me out >.< but hey, at least there's always vodka around, right? I'm a cheap blackout drunk<3

I don't mind working, actually I rather love it. I just wish I knew what it was I am working for.

bleh college

Ferrer lovers! Check this out: www.facebook.com/TheFerretSqua…
It's a concept trailer for a movie about the banning of ferrets in California & some ferrer loving kids who oppose this & rescue ferrets & keep them in secret ^.^ Buuuuut it doesn't have the funding it needs to be made yet as they were unsure of if there would be much interest... So that's obviously what I'm asking you to do, get yer butts on over there & like it xP

If the movie is actually made & goes on to be popular enough it could be very helpful to the little stinky fellows, it could help remove their ban in california & give a better representation of them to the general public - something the media likes to warp & make them seem aggressive & just to be wild & unfriendly in general

It's amazing how many people still think they're horrible & vicious, whenever I bring Wyvern out walking in public there are two main rsponses "how cute, I've never seen a real ferret before!" & "You shouldn't keep wild animals or bring them around with you, they aren't dogs you know" Well gee, I had no idea, I thought she was a tiny daushund. & 5,000 years is a long time to be kept in captivity & still be considered wild. Much longer than hamsters, gerbils etc... Maybe this movie could help that?

Also! I'm on my Christmas break now, wheee! Time for some art of my own at last, thank god. This fine art is driving me crazy
