Just a general update now i'm back in the UK
6 years ago
So, not all that interesting of a journal, but thought i'd share with you a little update to keep you . . . well, up to date :P
I left jolly old England last September and spent 3 months hiking in the Himalayas and living in tiny villages throughout Nepal and the Tibetan boarder. I'd consider it as one of the greatest life experiences i've had to date. If you're interested in hiking or the geology of the himalaya's, please hit me up, i'd love to chat ^^
As some of you will remember, i posted a little plee a few months back for an Earthquake appeal. Those of you who donated will be pleased to know, between what you donated and a few other kind hearted folk around the globe we raised over £500, which aside from £10 over head fee's, the rest went directly to the cause and a new home is being built for the families who suffered the 2015 Earthquake in the Kathmandu valley.
Late December I landed in Western Australia, converted a Toyota hiace into a fully functional camper van, and spent 4 months living in the back of a van eating crisps. I drove close to 6200 miles, from Perth to Melbourne, with a few detours and side trips en-route.
It was a great experience and really gave me chance to survive souly on artwork alone. Food and fuel were payed for only by the money i'd made from commissions and YCH's (so thank you massively). At one point i only had $6 Aussie dollars to my name which is maybe $4 USD. not enough for even a sandwhich. So the art you bought saved my tail XD
I then spent a few weeks in Thailand on the island of Koh Tao, scuba diving, snorkeling, chasing colourful fishies, cleaning up plastic of the beaches and generaly being a hippy woof before flying back to the UK.
I am now home, back with family and friends and trying to find a job. For the time being, i will be using my art as a full time job, so now is a good time to pester me about commissions if you've ever fancied one.
Anyways, thats about it in the land of Bask. All is well and groovy, and i hope the same applies for you ^^ many wags, much floof, and a bazillion utonagan hugs <3 catch ya soon xxxx

ADVENTURES AROUND THE GLOBE!
Hmmm! Glad to have ya back!
It's good to be back too <3
Congrats with all of that and I look forward to seeing more arts from you. :3
I still want to colour the sketch i did for you for the yiffmas thing. Maybe now I've got some free time i can get round to it ;3
I have had a small color update since you drew that for me but it's not too much. I could work with you through notes once you start coloring it if you'd like? :3
I'm very happy to hear that you've experienced so much, you probably got a lifetime supply of hippie woof stories :D
Not sure where you stand on telegram/discord game, but if you ever feel like having a faffy little chat, hit me up on these <3
Hugs and bubble wrap :D x
