I have been trying my hardest to get work done on both the university front and the commission front and people keep fannying about at univeristy which means I'm sat here wondering what the fridge is going on!
In short, I am being a scatterbrained walf and not concenterating on anything.
So this is a big shoutout appology for all of those waiting in line on commissions.
I am being massively unproductive and finding it hard to summon the enthusiasm to BE productive.
But that doesn't mean I'm not working on your things - infact I've put aside a lot of personal ideas that have came to me to keep up progress on commissions.
Tried to be somewhat clever with one and see if I could circumvent a seemingly needless part of my artistic process - this has led to more delays...
Keep an eye on the commissions journal if you're wondering what stage your work is at~
(oh and thanks to 
for 'what the fridge' )
That's all for now, back to the game we call life!
Update 14/10/2012 / Should I Upload Sketches?
Posted 13 years ago
Someone remind me why I go to university?
"Good grounding for potential future employment, the industry look highly upon those with CVs, 'life experience' "
Oh yeah that old bull :V
Well, a few weeks back into uni and I am feeling shattered!
Probably to do with me not watching my sleeping hours more closely - 1am bedtime seems to leave me feeling dead the next day.
But things are going as smoothly as can be expected!
The large reading list given to me by the professor I'm working with this year is keeping me busy along with some artwork on the side.
Been rather lazy the past week with everything, motivation's escaping me quite frequently.
Not much new to report, nothing exciting to pass on.
Just a wee life-update to let you lot know I'm not dead just sorta busy
A big thanks to all my new watchers over the past month!
So many new faces recently
I'll be trying to get some more things put up that are of some decent quality.
And of course commissions are always being worked on!
On another topic, sketches.
Despite my gallery being relatively sparse I draw nearly every other day.
I don't like uploading scrappy work because it feels unfinished, sub-par to the full colour work I like to put up.
But despite that I've gone through a whole sketchbook in the past month scribbling down ideas and random poses.
Infact, it's the ones I doodle up out of boredom that tend to get turned into some of my best pieces.
So I guess I'd like your oppinion~
Should I start uploading my sketches too instead of just full-colour digital work?
I doubt they'd get much interest - but I could be proven wrong!
Either way, oppinions would be appreciated!

Update 16/09/2012 [Commissions & Other Junk]
Posted 13 years ago
So EF is now seeming like a distant memory, a mad hazy week of too much travel, too much alcohol, and an all-around good time getting to know people and scribble in random books!
With the concrud finally out of my system and now feeling like I'm ready to start back up again I'm going ot get some art blitzed out over the coming days before EF starts up again
On that note (I know some of you have already and I'll be uploading them soon), if I did you a sketch can you pass it onto me if you have the ability to scan it? Really appreciate having some new things to stick up here.
NOW onto the main article of buisness: commissions.
Some people have said about having an interest in picking one up from me.
The way my system works is you merely need to note me about what you want, I'll accept/reject it, and it will sit in the queue UNTIL you can pay for it. I never ask for payment until I can start a piece, and as long as you don't expect me to start before you've paid your slot can remain in the queue if there's noone else showing interest.
My queue system is as much a way for me to publically plan out my workload as it is to keep you informed on how your commissions are coming along. I like knowing how much is set out infront of me to do.
So if you have genuine interest send me a note!
Aside that, I'm back in Cardiff until winter come September 24th.

Short journal for the moment.
Coughing up my intenstines a little right now from rhinovirus- not gonna lie, a little bit of blood was in the phlemgh.
I'll be scanning up any art I got done for me at the con.
If you have a sketch from me could you please scan it if possible and send it over? I'd appreciate that greatly
Always need new things to fill out my gallery!
It was so great meeting all those new faces! You were all such a fantastic lot at my first big con.
Big props to 
, 
and 
for putting up with me when I was a sickly wingy bitch for the last few days of the con and the drive back. You guys, and all you others, are so fucking awesome!

CamrathA Word For My Current Commissioners / Sale Temp Closed
Posted 13 years ago
Right... There's been some confusion about my sale...
Allow me to clear things up.:
The sale was meant to be £12 for an unshaded full-body single character pinup.
I've got a lot of people thinking it's a temporary reduction for overall prices.
I'll be honest, I hate shading a piece...
It's long, it's tedious, and I wanted to do some quick but satisfying pieces for people to kickstart my summer commissions.
Rebby you're unaffected by this because we're already discussed things.
Sickle you've got the idea, your piece will stay.
Hakuwolf we'll discuss what you wanted. All's well on your end too~
Unless I've contacted you otherwise to discuss a piece commissions are closed temporarily because of this confusion.
When this set is completed, I will open back up for these pinups. I'll even do you lot an example of what I mean.
DaveC & SkyeKitty have asked for commissions outside the sale, you two aren't affected by all this.
My sincerest apologies for the confusion, it wasn't intentional.
Rebby
Sickle

DaveCStart of Summer Commission Sale!
Posted 13 years ago
SALE IS CLOSED FOR THE MOMENT
So, I've been off for a month now and I feel it's time to pick up some buisness.
To kick things off, I'm going to have a sale!
Here's my offer to you lot:
Full Body + Lineart + Colour Flats = £12
That's £5.50 less than I normally charge.
[This is WITHOUT SHADING, that still costs extra...]
[And single character, multiple characters still cost extra...]
Reffer to my commissions journal for any other information http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2746850/
Or you can note me.
While I will be taking commissions at sale prices today onwards I will start working on them monday (02/07/2012)
I'll be taking FIVE on at a time so none of you are left waiting too long.
So let's start making art!
Eurofurence 2012 Meme
Posted 13 years ago
Masterfully stolen from 
Syruss
It'll be my first time going to EF, or any convention for that matter!
So here's what can you expect of a monsterwolf.
Where are you staying?
Hotel Magdeburg, so the main hotel
What day are you getting there?
Tuesday along with the furball run
Who will you be rooming with?
I'll be putting up with Raze1984's snoring for the con
What suit(s) will you have?
I have no fursuit ;^; might bring a collar, but aside conbadges that's as far as I think I'll deviate from normal attire
Can I dance with you?
This all depends if I'm dancing, to which yes but no bump'n'grind unless you're of the opposite sex
What is your gender?
Male
How old are you?
20
How tall are you?
Just over 6'1''
Are you mated? in a relationship?
Single, open to the idea of a relationship ~ but don't read that as 'desperate and wanting'
Can I touch you?
Can I break your finger?
[I despise being poked by strangers...]
Can I talk to you?
Not at all, how fucking dare you!
[If you can handle a bit of sarcasm and aren't in my face then by all means]
Can I hug you?
Prefer if you asked first ~ instant no if you're doing your best impression of a garbage skip...
Can I take photos of you/with you?
Sure! Just don't get in my face about it or follow me around - cameras break real easy and I know exactly how to make you drop one
Can I buy you lots of drinks?
I'm not an alcohol drinker, so unless you mean still water and the like it'd be wasted on me.
Do you drink Alcohol/Smoke?
Neither, and not fond of hanging around smokers either.
Can I give you lots of money?
No strings attached? Sure!
[If this is talking about commissions, I'm not doing dealer's den but I'll consider those who ask nicely]
Can I hug or snuggle with you?
Hug, see before. Snuggle... that depends who you are, how well I know you.
[Random males attempting ot snuggle me will get an unfriendly response]
Can we hang out?
Of course, just so long as it's not pulling me away from the people I'm already with - that would be rude.
Are you nice?
That depends, are you going to act nice back?
I'm a little sarcastic/snide and hate 'niceynice', but I'm civil and not going to bite your head off for no reason.
Where will you be most of the time during the con?
Floating around with people I know, nowhere in particular.
Other cons you may go to?
I would go to Confuzzled it wasn't in the middle of my freaking exams!
Attending any events?
I'm not sure, I'll probably just be following the lead of others
How can I find you at the con?
Conbadges, that is my only unique identification!
Aside that, I'll mainly be around any of my friends (see profile for that) who are going too.
If i had a roomparty, can i invite you?
This all depends as to the nature of said room party...
Can i kiss you?
Woah, steady now ~ let's go out on a date first before liplocking okay?
[That would make me very uncomfortable]
Can i do things to you?
Can I maim you and hang you out of the balcony?
[Read as: NO]
What shouldn't i do when i meet you?
Prod me, poke me, grope me, get in my face, smash something over my head, attempt to fornicate or romance with me in any way, shove a camera in my face, demand art from me, demand anything from me, insult me or my friends, attempt to assault or maim me, hug or smother me (not applied to people I know), or be a general social moron who doesn't understand the boundaries of personal space and basic human-human interaction.
Doing the above will likely lead to a less-than-friendly retort.
And for the love of every diety out there PLEASE be hygiene conscious, I don't want to come back diseased because I shook your hand...
What should i do when i meet you?
Say hi! Shake hands! Get to know me and I'll get to know you! You know, that old palaver of social interaction!
If you're looking to get art off me, try to talk to me before going 'HNRGH DO ME SKETCH I PAY YOU DORRA'
I wanna give you art!
By all means! Just so long as it's not anything of me, my 'sona, or my character fucking you, your friends, or anything else.
[Clean art is appreciated unless adult art is specified]
To summarize? Don't be a social retard and disrespect my personal space; generally, if you approach me like a normal human being for the initial greeting then we can get onto being deranged fuzzy animal people
I will be accepting commissions if people ask me, but I reserve the right to say no.
I'm not there as an artist/business man, I'll be there on holiday and there to fucking enjoy it!
SyrussHyperpolarization [Exams over, now the break]
Posted 13 years ago
Been a while since I typed up a journal on here, last I spoke I was at the end of my projects verging on the end of lectures.
And here I am again! Post-exams, looking onwards to the holidays!
So what's new?
Exams, but they're over, and the less I'm reminded of academia over the summer the better
Had to miss CF2012 because of exams... Thanks for summer exams dickheads.
System32 on my computer became corrupt last week, £32 and two days later it was working again. However, thanks to the magic that is Windows XP Home Edition not being able to integrate 'foreign' drives I lost a fair bit of data.
Thanks again to 
for the help setting it back up!
Going back home in a few days time, so it's a case of saying my final goodbyes for the academic year before I head down south for a few months.
Recovering from exams, stress always hits me AFTER an exam for some reason...
What's coming up?
Going to see Prometheus with my dad for his birthday sometime soon.
A holiday over to the Isle of Man at the start of August.
Seeing some good friends and doing spontaneous madhappenings over the summer! (the best of kind happenings)
Oh yeah and something about some furry con...
MOTHERFUCKING EUROFURENCE 2012 BITCHES
I'll be going on the Furball Run along with &
Cannot wait to go will be certifiably awesome and amazing!
If you're going along too be sure to hunt me out! I'll be wandering around with people and doing my best not to be anti-social.
So, aside those few events and whatever comes up between it's a free summer for me.
That means I'll have all the time in the world to work on commissions finally!
Thanks to you who've paid and been waiting your patience is appreciated something stupid.
Exams always get in the way and I just need a wee bit of time off after them to readjust my head to an artistic mood.
And that about sums all the new stuff up!
The end of an academic year: it's seen a change in my priorities in values.
As ever, people have gone, but new people gave came in.
I've made some new friends and reinforced some old ones.
And the way things are going right now? Wouldn't change a thing
Good times ahead hopefully!
As ever, keep an eye on my commissions journal for new updates if I owe you art.
I'll be opening up for some more commissions soonish!
13 Days Onwards
Posted 13 years ago
AND IT IS OVER!
That's it folks, ALL of my coursework for the entire motherfucking year is OVER!
ONE thing about cytogenetics that MIGHT take up some time, BUT as for the ENTIRE THREE WEEKS that the Easter holidays consist of I HAVE NOTHING TO DO but work my little furry arse off on making the ideas of you lovely little fuzzbutts come true!
LET THE COMMISSION WORK BEGIN!
Unfortunately no, there are no slots left, I have already discussed commissions with several people and I don't like taking on too much work at once ~ unless someone drops out my workload is full until further notice.
I have sent out notes to those of you about future/current commissions.
Until further notice, artwork shall be done!

Update 13/03/2012 [Commissions Opening]
Posted 13 years ago
...never work with children or animals... or other humans for that matter....
Some days I doubt the abilities of humanity...
...other days I know the abilities of humanity are non-existent.
So wee life update, the results are in and I have a dangerously small and increasingly shortening number of days to finish several university projects off and then THAT'S IT! IT'S ALL OVER UNTIL EXAMS!
This means I get a few weeks to myself before exam revision to get some artwork done.
I'm close to finishing up my current workload, that means free space.
So here's where you can get involved gentle reader~
I have three commission 'reserve' slots.
They cost no more than normal slots... don't get uppity at me.
What I want is an idea of the workload I'm going to get, so I'm opening a set of reserves while I'm in the middle of coursework so I can start attracting attention 'before' I can actually start work on them.
I don't expect people to pay then wait a week or two for me to start thinking about their piece, I ask commissioners to pay when I'm ready to start.
So, if you want a commission from me check my commissions journal for current prices
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2746850/
There are three slots remaining, pass me on a note if you're interested in me reserving you a space!

"...Oh there goes gravity"
There's been a major lack of activity from me on here recently, aside the occasional favorite and comment thrown at a friend's recent upload.
For one, I've honestly not been in the art mood recently.
I hate drawing for the sake of drawing and not because I enjoy it, I love bringing the ideas of others to life and I hate doing a shit job of it.
There's been a lot of things going on, and when there's not something going on I'm trying to have a 'me' day.
Only problem is whenever I've been close to a 'me' day I get TEST TOMORROW! IMPENDING DEADLINE! FRIEND IN NEED! SOMEONE YELLING AT ME! FATHER HAVING HEALTH PROBLEMS!
Being busy, being angry, being there for someone or worrying about something seem to fill my spare time.
The few gaps I get from that I just want to spend relaxing for more than five seconds.
A lot of these journals are me saying "I'm busy/I'm stressed/I'm not in the mood"
I don't like making them because I know they sound like grotty little excuses.
There ARE people out there having it a lot harder than me, I don't deny my situation is far from as bad as it could get.
But I don't get enough relaxation time, and art for me is a fun thing!
I don't draw with much enthusiasm when I'm exhausted from life, and I don't want to fuck up the work I get paid to do!
Gaps are coming up, final push of some work and I get some 'me' time.
Need a few 'cave' days as my good friend put it. Gonna take a bit of time to wrap myself up in a duvet and play video games all day
After that, YES I am going to have most of my list cleared down and I WILL be opening for commissions! That is a motherfucking PROMISE!
One that I intend to keep.
I like to think I'm frugal with money and generally good at not overspending outside my limits (hence the giant spreadsheet I have logging my spending for the year) but a bit of extra money never goes astray and you lot give me some of the most awesome ideas to sketch up also, I need a bit of spare money for new werewolves from the upcoming MTG set in may!
So keep your eyes peeled furry-fans.
I may keep saying I'm getting shot down by life and all it's hardships.
But just like a zombie movie I keep getting back up again and trudging forwards!

So today is my birthday, another cycle of the sun has passed since I was successfully flung from the void of non-existence and into this world where I'm expected to conform from the moment I hit the ground - good job I did there, becoming a furry and all.
To quote Stewie Griffin: "Damn you vile woman!"
But enough about my mother issues; most tyrannical monsters like myself would demand offerings of gold and virgins.
I however am just going to treat this day like any other, another year has passed and some good things have happened, some bad things have happened.
In essence, life fucking happened.
I figure at this point I'd post a wee update about thangz in my life.
Not much to report, exams are over now but the work still keeps coming; there's science for me to learn, some science for me to conduct, some lives to help fix, some lives to get involved in, new games to play, new drawing styles to test, new people wanting artwork. In the middle of all of this I'm still my lax self who really should have got more done by now but I've been too busy running around as my dashing Dokkalfar desperado across the kingdoms of Amalur recently!
No, I'm not shafting commissions for games, I'm trying to get a balance of everything in my life.
I don't like doing drawings for other people when I'm not in the mood to do so, it means I don't do the best job at it I could have, that means I produce some half-arsed shit which I'm not inclined to do.
Also, been performing a lot of R&D on styles and standards recently, picked up my game with a new technique TheGarnet showed me so it's been a learning curve on how to apply new techniques to boost the quality & performance of my artings.
I have a few pieces of personal art in mind, I'll be getting those done slowly. Commissions are always being worked on, even if I forget to update that journal every now and then.
Not much new to report...
OH WAIT! ASIDE THE FACT I'LL BE ATTENDING EUROFURENCE 2012!
(and possibly Confuzzled 2012, depends on some dates)
YUHYEA BITCHES!

Firing Up The Engines
Posted 13 years ago
Exams are finally over, I took a weekend out to vent the accumulated stress, I feel relaxed and ready for my routine again.
2011's finally over for me, the final few ashes of a burnt-out year set adrift on the wind.
Thank you to all for your love and support to get me through those hard times at the end of the year.
You're all great friends, I hate to think I don't offer the same back.
And to all the new friends I'll meet this year, I look forward to getting to know you.
It's been a bitter loss, but I gained the chance to do this properly for the second time around.
A fresh new outlook at things is just what the doctor ordered.
Routine is starting to kick back in for me, I'm finding the mental capacity to order myself.
Getting back into work, getting back into socializing, getting back into exercising - all that lovely stuff.
I'm getting back on to working on commissions and gifts, trying to get the sketch phase of them all done.
Bear with me on them, I don't like keeping you waiting and I know some of you paid for work. I am honestly moving forwards slowly, but all the gaps I keep having to take set me back and I want to make sure I can still do your ideas justice, which is why I do so many practice sketches.
Aside commissions I'm re-vamping my comic project idea. A few of you know about Godless, but many don't.
It was originally going to feature my fox character Dexhar as the main character, however after pledging to myself to start drawing with more realistic diversity making look more like a fox detracted from the character aspects I wanted.
Don't get me wrong, Dexhar will still be around (much to 
's relief) but I'm redesigning him species wise to suit the role he plays in body and attitude.
Godless is being redone a bit too, the original story had a solid beginning and end but the middle was flaky. The other day, while playing Dark Souls (the inspiration for Godless in the first place) I accidentally dropped the controller and attacked a vital character; in doing so I squandered my chance for the good ending on that save and now have to start again. I don't see it as a bad thing mind you, the same with starting Godless again. It's a chance to start over from the beginning and go right where I made those initial blind mistakes.
That's what 2012 means to me, a new chance to go right where I've gone wrong in the past.
Isn't that what life is about?
Stay real FA

Halve the distance between every event each time and you will never stop doing something...
...Or at least that's what it feels like a bit recently.
GAWRD it literally has been one thing after another, and the second I get a break to start doing some commission work my mind and hands have an argument and it comes out wonky.
Been trying to get myself back into the drawing mood with some sketches, need to post those soonish~
I am working on your things, I am making headway slowly.
Exams a sort of a big deal ~ artwork for you lot is taking priority when my mood lets it.
Dust is still settling, my mood's ever so slightly flaky recently, and I'm panicking about not hearing anything for my work placement in the year to come.
URGH! LIFE! PISS OFF AND LET ME DRAW FURRY ART!

Posted 13 years ago
It's the final day of a long, long year...
Over the past one and a half years I've experienced more than all the previous years accumulated.
Learnt what it's like to feel for once.
Learnt what proper friends feel like.
Learnt to let got a bit more and try to enjoy myself.
Learnt what it feels like to be cared for by someone else.
Learnt what real pain feels like.
Learnt love.
Learnt loss.
Learnt betrayal.
Learnt to get over things.
And leant how some scars will remain with us forever.
I feel like I've came out the other side of limbo after this year, walking through the bleak husk of the world to find that tranquility at the end.
But unlike the little boy in limbo I've had friends to see me through it all.
This year's been productive in some ways, successful in others.
I've gained, I've lost, I have became more of the person I want to be.
This year has been simultaneously the worst and best experience of my life so far.
A sheltered life that's only just seen me coming out into the world and finding out that not everyone out there is as bad as I thought.
That, and some are worse than I could have ever imagined.
So as these final few hours close in on this annum, another epoch of my life closing behind me.
I look back at the door as it slams shut on another year, having passed through 19 similar doors all with different things behind them.
Some things I look back with regret.
Some things I wish were still following me through onto the next year.
Some things I wish could fall between the cracks and be lost from time.
All that being said, there's a light at the end of it all for 2012.
New beginning, new hope, new things to come.
Anything can happen in life.
That's the beauty of entropy.
Happy New Years watchers and friends!

Swear I'm not dead! Just busy as hell.
When I'm not busy, I'm not feeling up to much.
Just a spell of feeling bleh, it'll pass I swear.
Art? Oh I have a tonne of that kicking around!
Finished pieces? Nope... currently staring down six projects scattered across the room, several of which are being used to stop my tablet screen gathering dust.
It's coming up to the end of term and this lazy wolf's been kicking his arse into gear to try and get things finished off ~ AND FAILING EPICALLY!
Why the hell did Skyrim and Cave Story have to come into my life NOW?!
Gamers and work do not mix guys! Save me from myself!
Two projects left to finish before term's up on the 16th and then I get to focus on artings.
I know I owe a few of you work as Christmas presents, I will try my hardest to get them all done.
But will more than likely fail...
This is why I give out 'free commissions' in place of 'free artwork' ~ see the loophole there kids?
URGH day ahead of me... BLARGH

How We Move Forwards
Posted 14 years ago
It's been a month now.
A month of not quite knowing how to feel.
A month of contemplating and recollecting.
A month of rebuilding and recompiling.
A whole month of things.
I said to myself I'd hit the power button on my life for a month, switch off until the same date when I flipped the calendar over.
A month of inactivity; I'm guessing a few people may have thought this account dead.
It's not, I was just taking an extended break.
For the observant among you (or anyone I speak to with any regularity) you'll notice the changes that have happened.
A few things moved around, a few things shifted, a few things left untouched to gather dust.
I don't see the need to lie about my life or to embellish the truth of the matter.
However I also don't feel the need to go into details about personal things.
So you'll have to excuse how vague this all may seem.
Thinking sometimes leads you to over-thinking an issue.
However under-thinking things can also lead to bad things happening.
There's a balance to all things in this life.
It's just finding that balance we all seem to struggle with.
Today is November 14th, the day I said I'd turn myself back on to the world and see what I had to work with.
So here I am, starting up and getting ready to move forwards again.
A little note to all of you on my commissions list.
I won't lie, I haven't touched a pencil or tablet pen for a few weeks now.
My dad got me a Wacom Cintiq 12WX for an early Christmas/birthday present.
Worked out 'most' of the problems with it, however it still likes to mess up every now and then.
But that should see things finished quicker now I can bridge the hand-to-screen gap.
I apologize deeply for the lack of work.
If you've paid for a commission you're welcome to ask for a refund.
All I ask is please don't hold it against me
And thank you for your patience.

So you may notice some things went down recently between me and my partner Dark.
Or you may not have, I'm not going to divulge personal details about the things that transpired.
I don't know how many of you read these little journals?
Honestly I put them up as just more of a little public announcement of things.
I don't expect reams of support and pats on the back.
But just to let you know myself and Darkie are taking a break from our relationship with one another.
I would say that I'm not leaving her, I'm not looking for anyone new, and I am not using this as a 'trial separation' as such.
This is a little distance so I can get my head in order, get some help, and leave him to do what he feels he needs to do.
I still support him in all decisions, even if things do end at the conclusion of this all.
I do love him still ~ we just need some space I think...
Commissions are on/off suspended at the moment, if you have one waiting on me I've sent you a note explaining the situation.
As for art in general, that's the same, it'll be very on/off.
Please... all I'll ask is no one makes a big deal out of it.
I've already beat myself up about this, I really could do without anyone else telling me off.
Stay well guys, I swear I'll get things done soon enough.

Double F to the S MY TABLET KEEPS BREAKING!
I think it may be iTunes doing something to it... for some reason my tablet is working completely fine one minute and happily sketching away on SAI, boot up iTunes and in that instant the tablet's work area is confined to a tiny corner in the top of the screen.
I have no idea why this is happening but the constant need to restart my PC and/or reinstall the bloody thing completely is starting to nark me off a treat.
It's also slowing down work greatly, I should have done more than I have by now but this nuisance of a tablet keeps making me stop and reinstall half my goddamn system.
Working around it slowly and getting on with work ~ back up at university now and moved into the new house.
Starting actual uni work again on monday, from the look of things I have an ENTIRE WEEK in the labs at the start of November!
It's good to see the old Cardiff furs again and not be pestering my dad constantly at home. I like regulating myself but with all that's gone on recently I've been left a little fragile and VERY silly with some of my stray thoughts so not all's been well with me but I've got my wonderful mate and awesome friends to thank for slapping me about and telling me off (and putting up with me while I'm like this).
Slowly on the mend here, getting on with work in this week before going back.
Zaru666 mentioned to me last night there's a big new DLC for Deus Ex:Human Revolution ~ +50hours of game play or something insane like that?
I'll admit I came at the thought of it
My darling Dark is back at college now, couldn't be more happy for her getting back into the swing of things

Lemons......
Posted 14 years ago
I've been spending this week with my dearest chark ~ hence the lack of everything.
I wanted to take a moment out before my day starts to reflect on why people re just so goddamn complex at points. I've got the short end of the stick on multipul occasions recently and it's left me wondering "what the hell have I done?!"
There've been inscodents earlier in the seaons which have been (for the most part) rectified ~ and in the wake of that I was feeling pretty damn good about the world; I thought I could FINALLY see the peak of this mountain in life only to have another snowstorm come crashing in.
No, this isn't some whingey journal about 'oh why me?!', no this is a question of WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH SOME PEOPLE!?
Do I innately attract the fucking crazies?!
Two noteable inoscdents recently: one I'm not going to divulge into (let's leave it at someone who's been there most of my life told me to get out and never look back for the millionth time and is now groveling at me).
The second has been this fucking landlord for my new house during the university term ~ now I'm no expert on renting and this is my first encounter with a landlord, so maybe I was naive to think that people provided a decent service... For those of you not following any of the others who'll be with me at Cardiff over the next year the long & short of the story is that the new house was an utter state wirth grime-incrusted carpets and curtains, broken furnishings (dangerously so, we're talking wardrobes that easily topple in the breeze) ontop of a number of other faults.
Hold on... doesn't it say in the CONTRACT we're supposed to be SUPPLIED with ACCEPTABLE HOUSING?
Would you honestly supply a client with a FILTHY and DANGEROUS house?!
So after the one of us acting at lead tennant sent off an email which clearly stated an inventory of the house and the flaws (all politely worded and in no way made to personally insult, just the facts). What do we get in reply?
"I've never been more insulted by you in all my years as a landlord, if you don't like what I've provided I suggest you go find accomodation elsewhere"
Wow man... just wow... so we've pulled in the agency to review the house and they agree, it was unacceptable! So reluctantly the landlord has cleaned the house ~ however we are STILL getting begrudging emails from his ENTIRE FAMILY... husband, wife AND DAUGHTER all making their stand and having a jab at us at how 'insulted' they are...
You know there are times in life where I wish I had the luxury of getting mad at life ~ where I wish I could honestly say FUCK YOU to something and NEVER EVER have to look back at it still trying to claw me down.
...When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade,
Make life take the lemons back,
GET MAD!
I DON'T WANT YOUR DAMN LEMONS! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THESE?!
Demand to see life's manager, MAKE LIFE RUE THE DAY IT THOUGHT IT COULD GIVE ME LEMONS!
DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!
I'M THE MAN WHO'S GOING TO BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN!!!
[...rant over...]
A little sidenote about comissions, and this isn't aimed at anyone so don't get butthurt on me if you think it's you because this is just an in-general point.
When I have the big 'no requests' and 'trades and comissions are closed' signs are up on my profile, that means I'm currently not up for doing anything for others.
And for those of you out there who I sort of 'owe' art to, don't pressure me on it, I'm not doing it for my health I'm doing it for a mutual enjoyment and when you start badgering me for it, I start to lose interest severly.
I've had people ask 'where's my art?' in jornals that were made because I'm feeling angry or depressed ~ how do you think it makes me feel to have somone go 'OI! GIMME FREE ART!' when some other bombshell is going on in my life?
So that's a final thing ~ I'll say to people if there's been an update with their art... I make sure I let people know if there's been an update... So do us all a favour and think about when and where you ask for something off me.
The next few weeks may be a little hectic for me having to move back to Cardiff a little haphazardly ~ there may be long periods between posts but I am getting some background sketching done while everything else is going on.
~Comisson prices are coming up soon~
I love you all realy things are just making me grumpy recently.
