...it's been a while. 

I've got to say that even though the urge is there I just can't bring myself to make anything these days. I'm getting through that funk slowly but wheesht… don't go to art college, kids! 

No uploads, I just wanted shout 'I'm here!' at the hills and listen for the echo. 

Fiat lux,

Yup. It's been a while.

I have uploaded a couple of things from the college sketchbook today but, as detailed in my previous journal entry (DOWNLOAD FAVOURITES NOW.), I am in the middle of thinking about starting to maybe consider the possibility of reorganising my devaintART portfolio but hey: I'll keep you posted.

Fiat lux,

Attention, fellow deviants,

IF YOU HAVE FAVOURITED ANY OF MY WORK PLEASE DOWNLOAD IT NOW for I shall soon be renovating my page (it's overdue several spring-cleanings). The adjustments shall make my portfolio consistent with other outlets (Facebook etc.) Thanks for your comments, favourites and support so far and I hope to bring you more work when the scaffold comes down.

Fiat lux,
Paddy

It can be very enriching logging in to deviantART.

Everything a person ever does is creative. Every single thing. Simply for the reason that, even if they are copying someone or have been forced to do something, they are still doing it: any expression by a person is an expression of their creativity. In my opinion, of course.

People can be afraid to accept the power of themselves, their creativity, their personality. When surrounded by thousands of images of personal expression, thousands of statements of love for personal relevance and power, thousands of shouts of "here I am"... well, it's moving.

Thank you, deviantART, and thank you, deviants.

More art coming soon, including the Spiky Fatedragon, hopefully . Thanks again to all my watchers and best wishes to all accounts deactivated. I must remember to download all my favourite works rather than just keep them in my deviantART favourites page. I intend to get up and working on logo design; commissions will be most welcome!

Now, to go learn some German.

Es werde Licht,
Paddy

An few ideas popped into my head the other day and I dug out my sketchbook and set to work. It's nice to be drawing again. I'm currently studying for a Master of Arts degree in English Language Teaching and my brain has turned to thinking of visuals rather than verbs, ink rather than indicative, graphite rather than grammar... Perhaps an artistic reaction to the academic world. Reminds me of school.

Friends and watchers, I thank you all once again and necessarily so; it is enriching to be amongst such appreciative and artistic types like yourselves. Anybody breezing past, pick up a pencil, paintbrush or plectrum and go and create something like you know you can. Creativity and imagination are your buddies for life.

Fiat lux,
Paddy
