Hey all you fellow watchers and deviants :wave:


The S.A lycanthrope reporting in... and a happy new year guys! Presented in my regular fashion, of updating this blog a month late again.

Man I'm looking forward to get my gears of work (not the game) rolling again, holidays do me no good.

I can't say I've had a great holiday this December. Most of my personal projects were put on hold since my grandparents were moving... wait let me rephrase that... WE moved our grandparents' stuff, most of which is clutter, over great distances.

I've never been so busy in my life doing something I resent the most... being unconstructive. I think I aged 60 years in less than a month, moving loads and loads of scrap (because NOTHING is allowed to be thrown away), going back and forth for what seems like almost a 100 km each trip... well that's an exhaggeration, but not too far from the truth either. We also had some serious family issues to sort out and on top of that we had to deal with a real douche that overalled my granddad's car (involving 5 other cars in the accident!) and simply decided to vanish from the face of the earth. Consequently the insurance won't cover the damage. I'm mentally and physically exhausted and sleep doesn't seem to remedy that.

Best of all... we're still not done yet!! :iconraegplz:
I'm glad I'm starting work again, it gives me an excuse to avoid doing pointless moving and hoarding styrofoam and various other crapness.

Oh and I got dumped again... maybe for the best I suppose, I haven't been able to give her the attention she deserved so I think it's better for her to spend her life without me.

But you know what? I'm really not that miffed out by all of this... because at the end of the day things always improve. I will always stay hopeful, hell without hope I'm nowhere! One thing I learned is to never give up no matter how many times you fail (lol! you said fail).

Oh and I went for an audition to fill a guitarist spot for melodic-deathcorists Dying in Regret (previously known as Gun Down Goliath) last week! Chances look good that I'm going to get it (their tabs are a little sophistcated though), besides which I'm also doing their merchandising so it's a win-win situation either way. So I'm super stoked! w00t!!

I'll upload some of my designs shortly. ;) promise

This spot in my journal is dedicated to any randomly picked deviant from my watchlist, each journal shall feature a different deviant. This entry's feature is:

deviantID

I was born on the 4/3/1985 in Umtata, South Africa and I'm currently residing in Midrand, Johannesburg. I've started drawing ever since I can remember but only started pursuing art as a career in high school.

I'm a skilled illustrator, professional colourist, designer and animator. After 4 years of studying at the Tshwane University of Technology, I graduated in 2007 earning my B-Tech degree (Bachelor of Arts) in multimedia.

I've also taken part in a 6 month exchange student course at Saxion International University in the Netherlands working on a 2D animation project named "Define your world" which was showcased on their opening day earlier this year and in the years to come.

I'm part of a multimedia company called Catnip Creations CC which 2 friends and I founded in 2007, specializing in most forms of multimedia.
