Yay, finally a new deviation! Nothing fancy, but still.

I haven't had much reason to update my journal, or my gallery for that matter, earlier this summer. I've spent most of my time working at a local supermarket, which is rather uninspiring creativity-wise. But now-! Tomorrow I'm exactly one week away from my first day at the art school I'm attending for two years. I don't know what to expect, but I am surprisingly optimistic.
I can feel myself getting eager to create again (= relief). No more apathy for me!

Also, I'm (or my boyfriend is...) working on my own website, dedicated to my "art" (or whatever you want to call it...). Not sure exactly when it will be up yet - we'll see.


Hope everyone reading has had a great summer this year!

I got in!!

My face is going to explode if I don't stop smiling!



I got a phone call from one of the teachers just a minute ago. That took ONE week. Amazing
Damn, I love this school!

Ahh! Bliss!

Wow. I actually haven't updated my journal since October, when I quit school (gosh, I quit school! )

Well, the thing is that my year off is coming to an end. Well, hopefully. I sent my application for a (or -the-) school today. Very scary! This school was like my second choice last year (unfortunately not the first). It seems to be a lot more suitable for me. The first year of it approaches art in every form (/generally), while the second year I'll study Drawing/Illustration or Painting. HOPEFULLY.

Making this so "public" now, will make it even worse to be rejected - so please!!
I'll hear from them in June, sometime... jikes.


There are sooo many reasons why I think this school is a better alternative to the previous school I attempted to attend. Don't even get me started... ^^

Anyway, I'll keep my fingers crossed. And my sanity intact (until June...).



And again, I want to thank every supporter out there! You're the best!



- Also, I need to showcase Miss Pauline Aubey's amazing talent and style through this beautiful portrait she did of me recently: [link]

Thank you so much again!

To make a long story short (I usually make short stories long, so be grateful!):

Today I finally realised that I am not happy with my choice of studying illustration at this particular school I'm attending at the moment. I think I simply need a year off, working, before I can start on anything new.
It does not mean that I'm letting go of my talent and joy of drawing (which my parents are scared to death about right now...) - I'm simply taking some time off to let myself figure out what to do with it. I'll also have more time to explore all the things I want to explore when it comes to drawing and painting.

It was by chance that I figured that out today. I didn't expect that at all! Shocking - haha!

- And I'm excited! So I won't doubt myself on this one. Not at all.

I have been cleaning up my galley a bit - moving half-baked work over to scraps, and deleting totally meaningless scraps as well. That feels pretty darn good.

I feel super inspired right now. I want to give painting another go - Hopefully I'll get the chance soon...
The reason why I haven't done much drawing in a while, I think, is because I am a tiny bit bored with my own work. I want to do more than copying, and I want to try out different styles.

- But right now I am chained to the task of making a children's book. "Woopie!"
