Decisions, decisions...
always plenty to make, and right now I'm stuck on the decision as whether to sell prints or not sell prints... and there's little bits of legal mumbo jumbo that I need to get through before I can sell a lot of the stuff that I would sell... so, I ask is it worth it?

I ask you all, Is it worth me selling prints of work such as [link] , [link] or even something like this; [link] (which I could possibly do something similar on a commission basis or something...)

on the flip side, I promise I have some work coming on through... I'm having a little trouble with my desktop computer, it seems the hard-drive is wearing out >_> and is gonna cost me a little to replace...

umm... yeah... I might as well go trying to scan some stuff in... I have all I need for it... I'm just being lazy.

I need an excuse to be artistically creative over the holidays, so it'd be really nice if you could link me some nice stock images or competitions to try and enter ^_^

And not a lot to say... ^_^;

year 12 is annoying sometimes... and slow at others, got my mid-year report the other day (yes, we're past mid year already lol)... said average, except for English homework... which is writing in elaborate and overly flowery language to impress teachers and honestly I can't write bs like that... I found it hard enough to bs for last years art theory exams, let alone the english practice exam this year, and I generally manage to get something out under the pressure of that kind of thing...

yah, lol I wouldn't blame you if you just tuned out for that bit ^_^;

Art wise, I'm sitting in the middle of no-where, scribble in my mind is swirls on the paper... all lines and nothing in them, I have a few things I should upload here... when I find what I did with my scanner CD... gotta work hard for vis-com this term... 10 weeks left till it's due and I've barely even started.

I'll post some pics or something later (if I can find that stupid CD)

got a job interview on next monday evening (5pm) and well... you know I feel confident but then you always feel nervous at times like that... ah, hopefully all this stress gets my creative parts moving again.

I've been tagged, and I decided to steal a quiz thing from elsewhere too... so enjoy ^_^;

((Tagged by ))

1. I'm abnormally tall, for a person amongst tall people, I'm the tallest in my family, and the tallest in my year level. (by a few millimetres >_<
2. I know a lot about computers, and I'm often called to help troubleshoot various pieces of technology... it gets tiring.
3. I'm studying a TAFE course on computers as part of my year 12 course CISCO CCNA2 if you know what that means.
4. I'm not actually much for artistic things... I dabble, post a few pics on my wall... I actually prefer manga/anime and story aspects of the posters on my wall.
5. I have my own car already... but it's not yet running >_> it needs a few bits and pieces and a service before I can start driving it.
6. I'm a bit of a perfectionist at times, but then other times I'm so laid back that people become frustrated and annoyed with me...
7. I enjoy riding, blue skies in winter but not long walks along the beach (I'm scrabbling around for stuff now)
8. I didn't actually want to do this... why would anyone? it's kinda awkward and... yeah... >_<


IF YOUR LIFE WERE A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE? ((stolen from 's journal))

_________________________________________

Anyway, beggining of the end, Last year of High school, onto TAFE/Uni...
Most of the first few weeks has been relatively boring, nothing in-particular happening. Partying is always fun though =3
(I feel like being a bit ambiguous here)
We had swimming carnival on monday, that was fun (particularly seeing as I was a house captain, running my ass off trying to make sure the year 7s get to/are at the marshaling point...

I won First Prize in the open Dive-bombing Comp >=3 and got an art teacher wet ^_^

due to the summer heat, the chlorine and a few other factors I've been feeling sick most of this afternoon... hopefully I'll feel okay tomorrow.

Tons of stuff to do, in particular I gotta finish the drawing of Avarius (Character for the Game of the gods story). It's sitting in my locker at school at the moment... I'll pick it up and maybe steal a light-box whilst I'm at it.

anyway...
Till Next time
Rob

Heya all, A belated merry christmas! and hoping for a happy new year for all... 2009, not far off leaving high school for me ^_^ this is in fact my last year before College/Uni/TAFE (or whatever else they might be called).
and I've FINALLY booked in for my learner Driver's permit... took long enough.
Ah, the comic is coming along... sorta I really need to get down and work on it...
But I also like procrastination lol

But I cannot Procrastinate any longer.
The new year is practically upon us.
and so I open up entry to this challenge of sorts (as was mentioned in a previous (pervious lol) journal)



Theme is: "New Year, we stayed up late ..."
Please Don't use Characters from well known anime (If I can pick out the characters then you're in trouble - unless they're your OCs that I've seen before).
I also Request that you add in a sub-theme of something forgotten. this can be explained in the comments if you wish
And on that note you may write a story rather than make a pic.

Deadline is Friday 16th of January 2009
I'll get a panel (not really... ^_^ heh) of judges together on saturday. and post journal 54

now, you have much to do!

I will be when I see deviations for this... I may even see If I can publicize it all.
GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!
