This is a journal entry. It's been some time since I've written one. How are you all? How is your art going?
Art Block
Another art block is broken, but it always takes time to really get into a progressive state of art making. Its difficult because I hadn't used this website in such a long time. At the urging of a friend I am back though and I hope to show you some things that I have done soon. Thank you to the people who have stuck by me during this creative drought.
After the Storm
Alright, my mood is improved somewhat, and I've gone and done a lot of work outside of DA. Which has made me feel better. I'm working on a video game with my brother now, and it's still in it's development stage. We've got a lot of work ahead of us. The first is always the hardest they say. But once I've got something to show, we should be able to recruit more local talent who are willing to work for free. The great thing about studying with game designers I suppose. We're all noobs trying to make names for ourselves. May as well start somewhere. It's stupid to think you won't be doing freebies immediately after finishing an animation degree,

DA is dominated by artists who produce sub-par work. This particular person for example has an incredibly bad comic book style, yet has reached over 1 million views. His quick comics are badly drawn and rendered, not to mention poorly written, yet he receives praise constantly.

All the people who matter that are going to see my art, don't use DeviantArt anyway. I'm better off submitting it all to real life galleries. Step out of my comfort zone. Create a profes
Update 2
Either all my watchers have abandoned DeviantArt or my work is really crap >.<
Back to Uni soon, two weeks! Then I'll have one semester and have completed my Animation Degree.
It's been a long long road, three years of study. I'm 23 now, and I am older and wiser and better
than I used to be. I still have a very long way to go though, I mustn't give up!
Wish me luck guys!

It's going good. Art's something I just do for fun every once in a while, still, so there's just some poetry. 
Blargh. And then there's high school for me, which I'm looking forward to in some aspects.
How about you? How's life and your art been for you?
