So, how are things on this end?
Well with pokemon GO being a thing I've gotten to walking a lot more. Even managed to rig a battery to my phone so I could hatch eggs as I collect trolleys. Aint gym-level good yet, but getting there.
Work... is the same amount of bullshit as ever. I got cut off my friday shift, which to be fair was only 4 hours, but thats $80 i'd rather haaave, and the store I work at has been at a huge convinience shopping trolley deficit for over 3 weeks now. Nonetheless, I've found a couple of places near where I work, such as an awe-inspiring bookshop that has sheeelves of art books, and an art school down the road that does open nights for aspiring artists. Lady running the place says I'm more than welcome to bring my iPad Pro along for some art jam sessions, cant wait to give that a go. Sort of attempted to hand in resumes at these places, but Im not sure that would go anywhere.
And well... art. As some of you might have seen my art has taken a weird direction, looking darker in tone. This has been because Ive taken to using the darkest tone of the subject as the starting point, as opposed to the mid tone. It means I dont so much paint as sculpt, applying layer on top of layer of lighting until the form is built. Seems to work well, but I need to tweak my application, be less dark and more voluminous.
Open for occassional commissions, if anyone is interested, fire a note to let me know, and I'll see what I can do.
Aaaand tha's it

Though I do also have to put in, getting just about any job nowadays, it isn't what you know, and when you apply, but it is all about WHO you know. If you and your abilities are personally known the person doing the hiring, or somebody that knows the person doing the hiring well and they will give you a personal recommendation - those things have more weight than just about anyone is willing to acknowledge.
As for your art, all I can do is encourage you to go with it, and go with it, and go with it some more. Keep trying new things, and figure our different ways to do things. Practice, practice, and more practice!
Best wishes to you, and zhai'helleva!
And practice I shall! With gusto!
