A Journey out of horticulture and into illustration

Journal - Wednesday 4th June 2014

So, a bit of an update on the journey.  ...well nothing much to report really. I was thinking about getting a job in a book store, but it kind of fell thru. Besides I really don't think they could do without me at work. I'm the only one who works full time, the only one who answers the phone and does the paperwork and the orders just wouldn't get done with one, three day staker.

I am entering a publishers, illustrator scholarship thing this month. I know some of the illustrators I'll be up against and I know for certain I won't win. But at lest It'll be good practice.

I've also designed a wedding cake as an extra little side challenge of the illustration challenge which was a lot of fun. I hope they pick my design. I'd love to see my art in cake form.

Anyway, challenge is going well. I got another 2 of my pieces on the favourties blog today which takes the total to 14! (Michael's calling me a blog hog) I'm extremely flattered, but I still feel a little undeserving and..well..greedy.

One of the biggest challenges at the moment is fatigue. I'm just tired ALL the time. (except for 2am funnily enough...) I wake up late, get to work late, drag myself home and try not to fall asleep on the couch. Coz if I do I won't be getting up again for hours and then all my arty time has been snored away. I think I might have sleep apnea, which I would go to see the doctor about if I hadn't accidentally thrown out my referral ( Rolls eyes at self)

Anyway, you're not here to read about my boring sleep habits. Here, have some art.
