October: Was fun, started doing some photography and video work with a family friend whos been living it up as a stay at home Dad for 3 years now and wanted to do some work. Thats given me some work from time to time. Though I dont know if arriving for a shoot at 10am and cracking a bottle of wine open counts as work.
November: Not having a full time job plays tricks on my mind, cant remember what I did but luckily technology has helped, good old smart phones. So in November I baked stuff, sadly lost an Uncle and took pictures of my dog. I also went for dinner with Electro and Dasha, those crazy kids and their shenanigans.
December: Had been trying to go out with a girl for 3 months and that didnt pan out. Christmas is in this month apparently. Started redecorating my room but finance problems have put it on hold for the time being. Its themed from looking at Sailor Jerry bottles and Alphonse Mucha paintings.
January: Start of a new year! Snow was awesome, since I dont have a job it was nice to not have anything take the fun out of the snow. During the month I had a little panic attack over silly things and decided I should start working out which I did to great results(Go WiiFit!) Not that Im fit now but at least Im not as chubby.
February: Had friends from Germany over, we went hiking, it was great. Then I took them to a Burlesque show, I was so disappointed and annoyed for the rest of the week. I used to enjoy that group but they really let me down.
March: Bad month I think. Started looking like mad for a job with no luck. Got stressed and messed my health up again. Medication got increased and developed a tremor in my hands so I could do any painting or jewellery and drawing was tough.
April: This is a rant! I was being accosted by a charity worker in the city one day. This really annoyed me. So Im unemployed since September, my savings are nearly gone but yet I still paid out my charity donations to 3 different charities. I canceled them in March cause I couldnt continue to pay without an income. But this jerk gave out to me for not even paying 1 a month and got angry with me for canceling with them, luckily before I could shout at him Electro walked by and gave me an excuse to just walk away. Also frisbee time has begun!
May: Tremor has nearly subsided in my hands, looking forward to painting and making some jewellery. The usual thing that starts my summer is my dog getting her hair cut, pics below. Looking at my diary I have lots of nice little things coming up in the following months, birthdays, friends coming to Ireland, meeting Mozambique girls at airports and the like.
So that's a quick run of what Ive been doing, Ive done other things and some more important. So Ive got to get through my list of what I want to do art wise over the next while:
SG Paintings:
Agy (This is looking like a Manko situation but I'm determined cause Agy is nice about it! I cant seem to paint Manko's expression for some reason.)
Kraven
Tiffany
Others that I can't remember, I wrote them down somewhere else so I didn't have to to remember
Portrait Paintings:
Parents
John Lennon for my brother
Two cousins, one wants large ones for his GYM, this ought to be interesting.
Jewellery:
Silver necklace I promised a friend
Wedding bands I REALLY want to make but cant afford the materials at the moment
Ring for cousin
I melted all my scrap gold and silver and am planning to do a sculpture, looking forward to that.
Photography + Video
Music video for an Irish singer in two weeks, director has gone AWAL leaving me to get most of the busy work done
Have to organize a model or two for poses, mostly paint related some photography
Trying to get my friends together for a shoot, a lot more difficult that I imagined.
That's about it for moment... wonder how long til I do another blog now.
Edit: Apostrophes should work SG!
