A Quick Recap...

... A lot has happened since my last post. Not all of it good either.
I lost my Gran to her cancer, and even though its sad and I miss her a lot, she was in so much pain it was nearly kinder for her to slip away when she did. Yet I feel guilty for even thinking that. She was a wonderful old lady although she did have a good temper when annoyed. Not to mention she made the most wonderful cakes and pavlovas. =)

I live in Northern Ireland and on the 12th of July every year the Orangemen March, depending on how political you are this takes on various meanings, however I find it entertaining as its sort of a parade and always makes me think of going on holiday as we either went just befor the 12th or just after.

I saw Pirates of the Carribean 2, wonderful special effects but an abrupt ending, hopefully it wont take too long before the 3rd one is released.
Incedentally 'the break up' is very disapointing not to mention I found it very dull, and rather predictable.

Sill to see: the new superman, the lake house, and stormbreaker.

Madness strikes, I have already started to make my christmas presents. hopefully I will complete them all on time this year =D.

I'm currently planning out if i can afford to go to Annesy next June for the animation festival, hopefully my sums will make the ancwer yes. although i'm not sure yet.

Passed my car theory test on 14th waiting for a practical test date at the moment.

have 3 possible comissions in acrylic, more on this later.

Motorbike doodles finished. Watercolours &cg.

Kitty Cat on A motorcycle. =) this was done for a friends Birthday present so I hope he got it in the post safely(his birthday was around easter time so it was done a while ago =P) .

Tuesday Blatherings

So my scanner is droning on in the corner attempting to import the pictures I want to post here. and Man is it going slow.

While I'm waiting... The Suprise I mentioned in the last post, it was a party for my Aunt and Uncle (Ruby Wedding Anniversary) and my Cousin (their Daughter) Organised a suprise Garden party which was a resounding success, all the guests had their tasks allotted as to who brought food who drinks and who the chairs and plates... My Aunt and Uncle are the only people I know of that you can spring somethiong like that on with less than 12 hours notice and the garden is still going to be perfect. stunning even.

On to todays Sketches...
