Greetings dear followers of this questionably silent artist! Apologies for the lack of sentience exhibited by me over the past few weeks - I have been adventuring in South East Asia and am currently amongst the clouds in Nagarkot, Nepal.
So far my trip has taken me from Singapore to Malaysian Borneo (Kuching, Mulu and the islands of Mabul and Sipidan), to KL and then Vietnam (Hanoi, Halong Bay and Sapa), Cambodia (Siem Reap and Phnom Phen) and finally Nepal.
Anyone have any tales from their times in any of these places? For example, I accidentally ate snail soup off the street in Hanoi, thinking they were mushrooms, which frankly I don't love to begin with. They tasted of garden. Little ones were fine, but the large ones were a textural horror scene.
Much inspiration has been provided by the incredible temples and epic scenery, and I expect to return refreshed and renewed...and busy as hell, haha.
...And perhaps more than one journal a year would be good this time...*cough*
Til then!

How's your art journey going?
Hey team! It's been such a long time between drinks here, almost 3 years! Seeing this every time I revisited my DA page was kind of killing me. I'm sitting at my desk right now, staring at a white piece of paper in the sweaty heat. So here's a new journal entry for no reason other than to reach out to a community of like-minded artists, who may or may not even be there.
In the time since the last journal entry here I've got a new design job at an advertising agency. I think I may have also moved house, and now have a nice little room as a dedicated studio space with all my things:
I like it here.
But tell me, how is your art journey going?
Can art exist without an audience?
Greetings !
So...this is well overdue. It's been a whole year and more since my last journal entry here. That was a troubling time. Artistically, existentially. The digital and irl world was eating away at me and my productivity had hit a real low.
Well, the good news is that in 2015 I managed to turn that around in some small but important ways. Yay! I was more compulsively productive than I'd been since my teens, though you'd never know that from my minimal presence here! ^^; I started working more on a smaller scale, almost like setting myself tiny, achievable goals. Most nights after long, creatively demanding days at work I would stay

Hello everyone.
5am has just gone by and I've realised that if I visit DeviantArt and pause for a little moment, and sit in the eye of the clutter and strange noises and gratuitous nudity to actually digest what I'm doing, what I've done here, what here has done for me, recall the names and avatars that have come and gone, smile at the familiar faces and the new ones...I get very sentimental. In a way, it's like peering into a series of time capsules, documenting my life and artistic state. In a way it makes me sad. I genuinely yearn for the time when I could maintain real interactions here, and was so excited to upload something new almost
Hermit time?
Oh hello. It's probably time for a journal update, seeing as the last one was eons ago and produced at a time when my brain was apparently in imminent danger of eating its way out of my head. Good news everyone: it didn't!
So, since that special moment in time, I have finished university entirely (after almost 6 mostly wonderful years). Apparently I'm a "Master" of graphic design now. If I understand correctly - and I do - that means I'm entitled to several slave children, and I get to wear a wizard hat and conduct the ocean at my own leisure via the latest Apple product. Cool. What else.. I acquired a girlfriend. I lost that girlfriend. My
