Hey...

Okay, so I'm not as active on here as I once was, I'm mmm, semi-partially-active, maybe - laughs... I still upload new stuff, and I fave the odd thing from my watches and I comment back on comments, if there is anything to comment back on...

For the most part though I'm more active in other places, my blog, and my twitter and FB feeds for example...

I upgraded my phone to a mobile platform - HTC Desire HD, which I can heartily recommend btw - and so am now blogging and Tweeping on the go... I am so goddamn 2011 it hurts!

In general news, well, I'm still teaching (3D design, CAD for Fine Art, Creative & Media/Illustration & Design for Entertainment Media, Design for the Public Realm, Animation and Games Design - Wow! That looks like a lot of stuff when written in order like that!), all of which I love; as well as still re-aligning (is that the industry term/pro-speak) my professional freelance portfolio towards more pure Illustration and Concept Art.

I'm actually teaching more contracted hours than before (until of course our far-sighted Gov/t decide to replace us all with manuals on "Building Steam Engines & Other Useful Industrial Revolution Style Activities That Will Stop You Poncing About With A Pencil & Get You A Real Job" - ITS 2011! YOU CAN'T EXPECT S.T.E.M. TO SOLVE EVERYTHING ON ITS OWN YOU MORONS! IN FACT IT WILL BE THE COUNTRY'S DOWNFALL IF YOU DO!!! Ahem...) aaaaand I am earning a comfortable wage, which seems to have freed me up to be much more creative of late... I guess working with the students has added to that too...

I'm getting out and sketching more and collaborating with other artists more... see my various blog posts (below) for details on that...

I'm having fun as a creative... yay me!
