Hi everyone
i'm so sorry i've been away so long. Things have just been crazy for a while.
Some highlights of the last few months:
*my pet rat russell died
*i adopted a dog and grew to love him deeply then he began attacking me. He broke the skin every time and it was completely unpredictable. We asked everyone we could for help but people said as there was no rhyme or reason to point out why he was attacking we had to give him up. It was the worst day of my life.
*i had a stall at an art fair which cost about £200 to rent for 5 days and noone bought anything. Well that's a lie, my dad did, but that's just a bit embarrassing really.
*I won my appeal from college, so i now have a 2:2 instead of a 3rd.
*i was part of a group exhibition in guildford which was meant to last a month but less than a week after i put my work up the art space was shut down.
*I had an exhibition at a week in a pub that lets you put up your work for free, no sales or interest came of it and someone stole 2 of my paintings.
* I was asked to do illustrations for a book, then i was told my deadline was the 20th of december when before there had been no deadline. I worked panickedly and got them all finished (and really good, not rushed or anything) in time, sent them to the man to give me the go ahead, spent £9 scanning them (my scanner is broken so i took them to Staples where they're meant to have a proper scanner but they were terrible :() and he hasn't replied at all.
And i've started doing reviews of makeup on another blog.
And really that's about it. Things haven't been that great. But it's christmas and i'm very pleased about that.
I'm sorry for being such a terrible blog friend. And i am back to writing here!
