So... haven't been here in a million years! An insane creative block coupled with responsibilities and just having less time on my hands has resulted in me not producing much art at all over the last few years. A sketch here and there, but that's about it. Even when I've had time, I've been so tired from just living that that time has been spent on other things that don't require as much brain power. Fun things, but I've missed the creative outlet.


While reading old blog posts I've realised just how much I loved creating art and I want to get back to that. And to the mindset I had then where free time didn't automatically mean just scrolling Tumblr or something else.


All that to say, I'm trying to get back to it by working on a painting that came to me in a dream a few months ago. Posting the sketches and Work in progress pics over on my art blog: artpuddles.tumblr.com


If anyone's still following me and is still interested in my art, would you like it if I started posting WIPs here like I used to in the good old days? Or should they stay on the blog?


Anyway, if you're on Tumblr and you like what I do please give it some love. I'd be ever so grateful :)

New username


I was finally able to get rid of my old username (Freak-Bear :bleh:). I've loathed it for years. I haven't written a journal entry in a very long time so I just wanted to write a little update journal.

School


I'm currently taking a couple of courses in Graphic art (etc.) while I'm looking for a job. Graphic communication A, B and C, Webdesign and a crash course in Photoshop (which, to be honest, was completely unnecessary) are some of the courses. So far I'm acing everything and I'm having fun learning new things about different programmes, etc.

Paris


In a couple of weeks my brother graduates from the Swedish equivalent to High school. A couple of days after that he, my mum and I are going to Paris! That is going to be fun. Hopefully I'll be able to take loads of photographs and maybe post them in a journal entry like I did when we went to Rome in 2010

I have a new tablet! This one is a Wacom. My two previous tablets (Trust) broke too quickly, in my opinion, so I decided to give Wacom a go. The tablet I got is a Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch (medium) and so far I love it. The old tablet wasn't working properly for so long that having a tablet that works perfectly feels strange... almost.

I have my mother to thank for having this tablet. She really wants me to be able to do what I love so she sent the money needed for this tablet to my bank account.
