Firstly, I HAVE A JOB! Yay! A real job, with a salary and a pension and healthcare, all of those scary grownup things.
And now, about my NEW ACCOUNT! It will show finished works, and will be coupled with my website - where my portfolio and professional work will be shown, and my blog on tumblr - where I will show works in progress and behind the scenes.

Firstly, I HAVE A JOB! Yay! A real job, with a salary and a pension and healthcare, all of those scary grownup things.I will be illustrating diagrams, instructions and artists impressions of products for a global healthcare company. Comparing that description to my current gallery, it's probably pretty hard to imagine me doing that, but I have changed a lot during University while I have been away and have been too busy and stressed to come to dA much.
So, now that my relentless job search as a recently graduated graphics student has finished, I have started sorting out all my stuff. I need a fresh, new start, and that will come with a fresh new account that I will be moving to and making my main account soon. This account will most likely remain a personal account, or I may deactivate it once I have moved things I still like over to the new one.
And now, about my NEW ACCOUNT! It will show finished works, and will be coupled with my website - where my portfolio and professional work will be shown, and my blog on tumblr - where I will show works in progress and behind the scenes.I will be rewatching everyone on my new account soon after things are a little more organised.
I hope everyone is well, and that my friends here will forgive me for disappearing for so long so regularly. I am very sorry I have been so unreliable on here, I will change that all very soon. I have missed everyone immensely, and hope that we can pick up where we left off. I would love to hear how everyone has been doing and what they have been up to c:

I've finally finished University!
SO! More up to date stuff will to arriving on dA soon. I will be working on my website and blog also, which will be associated with a more professional deviantart account.

I've finally finished University!Argh, it's so weird! I'm supposed to be a proper grown up functioning member of society now... Oo er, I don't fancy that XD
I wanted to come back to dA way before now, but even though I finished my course a few weeks ago the exhibitions have been non stop! This week my work is in the D&AD exhibition in London, last week it was in the New Natives exhibition, and the week before it was in the University end of year show. I have to be at all three, chatting to potential clients and employers, handing out business cards and generally being sociable.
I have already had two agencies quite interested in me and my work, and I have a casual interview in London next week with the Cultural Director from one of those companies, so that's quite exciting X3
I will have to get a portfolio together, but as it's nothing formal and just a chat and coffee, he will probably help with what I should include in my portfolio and what to do more of and so on anyway c:

Has anyone else had to work on a compulsory project for so long that sometimes you just don't care any more? :c
We have been working on a massive essay and a single individual project since February. They are both on the same subject (the essay and project had to be linked in some way) and I am just so sick of it sometimes!
I have ideas I would much rather be doing simply because they are different than this same thing over and over again.
The essay was handed in a little while ago, but I have made very little progress on the visual project (because of reasons mentioned in my previous journal). I just ... argh *sigh* :<
I can't wait for all of this to be over. I really don't think I'm suited to this University course, it's been torture ;^;
I am so looking forward to getting on with my own drawings again, much less stressful, and I honestly really want to do them again. So that's a good thing I guess c:
I just have to get through the next 5 weeks of monotony before final hand-in >^< argh!
I'm still not officially back from my hiatus yet, but I do lurk on dA from time to time. I am getting geared up to return after my final project for University is finished.

Continued Hiatus - Reasons why

I have disappeared from deviantart since last summer, and I am very sorry. I feel bad about just up and leaving with no explanation. I will be coming back, but not for a little while still, I have a lot of things to sort out.
First off, my motivation for both personal work and University work had been waning for quite a while. This was something that I have desperately been trying to work on with not much luck.
But in July I took a major step backwards when my dog became very ill, she started getting very thin even though she was eating. The vets said she had diabetes, but the insulin injections didn't work, and she still got thinner and thinner, and then she stopped eating too. She gradually went completely blind also. They decided she had Cushings syndrome, meaning the insulin wouldn't work, so she had to take tablets for that too. But it still didn't work. So in August she had to be put down. I was right there next to her the whole time, it was awful.
I decided that when starting the new year of University in October I would force my self to be much more motivated and basically ignore everything else. It didn't work too well though, and I feel that the first semester went terribly.
Over the past year I have been extremely worried about my Grandmother also. She has Chronic Lymphocitic Leukaemia, and has to have chemotherapy and blood transfusions on a regular basis. However it was my Grandfather that passed away first. He had basically completely given up, and I dont know why. He wouldn't eat or drink anything, even when he was in hospital. It seemed like he started to get better, but after they moved him to a less high dependancy ward it all went down hill. They sent him home after about a month of him refusing to help himself. They couldn't do anything for him. He died at home 5 weeks ago.
What's scary is that I have been to 3 funerals and 1 death in the past 12 months. My Step Father's dad, my boyfriends Grandmother, my dog, and my own Grandfather have all died one after another.
I hope that everyone can understand that it's impossible to be motivated in the slightest to do anything at all when everyone around me is dying.
I have a lot of personal things to sort out, and a lot of University work to try and complete. I will be back. But not right now...
I am not looking for anyones sympathy or for anyone to pity me. I am sorry if you may feel I have shared too much. But I just wanted to give a full and truthful explanation to all of the friends I had suddenly left here on deviantart.
