Hey guys.

You know the dArtist, yuumei?

Freakin’… Jesus. The first picture I ever saw of hers was the girl with the ripped picture, maybe last year.

Then, just wandering around dA and I come across her 1000 Words animated story thing.

God. I was so glad I was home alone, because the tears would just not stop. And then I was like. That’s why I’m doing this. This is why I draw and stuff. This is it.

And I’ve just been looking at her other works - Ruminate, Father, stuff like that?

Wow. All I want to do is go and draw now. Thats some serious feels right there.

If you don’t know who I’m talking about, go look. Yuumei.deviantart.com.

Do. It.

And sign the petitions.

I really hate the animation style of Popeye?

Hated Popeye.

Hey guys.

So, wtf?

I finally get a boost of motivation and then I get hit with reality shovel -

I’m dirt-poor.

Not that that has anything to do with tumblr, or my resolutions (well, I guess it shows that I’m not doing the saving one very well), but it was just huge for me. Like, I’m so naive.

Living with my mom, it wasn’t like we ever had heaps of money or anything but I always had food for lunch and change given to me every day, $2-$4, if I wated to buy lollies or something. Why the fuck didn’t I save that? Because I was so used to it, when I moved out, I just spent five bucks a day of my overdraft on food and shit.

Five bucks a day - not heaps right?

Thirty five a week.

One fifty a month.

Eighteen hundred a year.

I’m an idiot.

Well, I know one thing. If I ever have kids, fuck giving them change everyday. I loved it at the time but I’m kicking myself now. I’ll just put money in a savings account that they won’t know about that they can’t have until they’re a uni student.

Because fuck. Life not at home is hard.

Fuck.

THE TENTH KINGDOM.

Man, I just have to say. I remember watching it EVERY. HOLIDAYS. Because they’d always play it over a week or two in the holidays and I watched it every year.

But somewhere between then and now, they stopped ):

Oh well. Now I have youtube, and the theme song. And my sister has the dvd, if I ever need it :P

Hey guys.

Well, I just recently signed up for a digital painting workshop at my course, with guests Jason Hong and Jianran Pan.

And I was really excited, because God knows I suck at digital painting, and I think I’d need help, obviously. So I was like, ‘A workshop! What a good idea!’

And then after signing up, paying the fee, I went bback down stairs and properly read the poster.

‘Intermediate to advanced Photoshop skills required.’

I have some skill in Photoshop, but that skill is pretty much the ability to make Photoshop a lot more difficult than it really is. I don’t know what I am at it, but I don’t think it’s ‘Internediate’ level.

But I really want to go. But now I’m just scared. I’ve been debating postponing my attendance for the next workshop in Term 3, so I have an extra term to try andgetintermediate level.

I mean, unless anyone wants to try and explain the finer points of Photoshop to me? :P No, I thought not.

Well, I’ll think about it.
