Working on a journal post for tomorrow, based around Day 1 of my jumpstART challenge. The number one way to get ahead in life, the universe and everything (other than... ya know... THAT!) Any guesses what it might be?

I'm waiting for more updates my friend, GO GO GO! :)
Hey! Sorry, have had my head to the ground getting stuff sorted and have been DA negligent :P

I'll be sure to add some stuff over the weekend! Exciting things on the horizon! :D

How are things with you?
That's more like it!

Jk, I'm really negligent myself..just doing small things around here, should have finished some works/drawings 2 months ago...some paintings from January still on hanging on the wall... I hate this (procrastination)   but I can't avoid in some cases....

Exciting thins on the horizon to me as well... the only way I found to earn some money trough art, in my country, is by tattoing, and that's starting to be more fun/interesting and profitable to me day by day ;)

and what about you??? How is schoolism going?
Awesome! I'm thrilled to hear it! :D 

Schoolism is going well, thanks! I'm gonna redo some of the classes now that I've had a chance to catch up with some other stuff. I think the quality of my work, overall, is better, so I'm hoping to apply the knowledge as I go and create some decent portfolio pieces based on (or around) the assignments.

I'm currently doing some private mentorship with Jonathan Hardesty, who's taking me through an atelier type programme based around the Bargue plates. He's also helping me out with my draftsmanship, which is rubbish. Takes me AGES to do a decent piece of work these days. I have to refine and refine and refine because I can't get the idea out quickly/easily enough. The two-pronged approach (attacking very-highly-finished and very-quickly-getting-stuff-down) is proving to be really beneficial.

That said, I'm more distracted than I should be. I have a couple of web-design-hanger-on clients who are taking up far too much of my time at the moment. I schedule time for personal projects, artwork development and fun/portfolio artworking only to have them eat up all of my time. The sooner I can drop the web design stuff and get my own things fully off the ground the better, but that means a period without the web design jobs taking up so much of my time, so I can do actually DO the work that needs to be done! Which means that after the jobs I've got on I need to call it quits and stop accepting the work! XD

Thank you so much for the watch! =D
Thanks for the favs :) and keep it up with the schoolism course, you are doing good so far :) !
You're most welcome - loving your work! And thank you! :D I've actually completed the course now, and have started a mentorship with Jon Hardesty. Really need to upload my other assignments, bring everything up to date and share what I'm doing now! Life loves to get in the way of doing what you love! ;)
