It's been a long time.
But I'm back.
I've had the most stressful, tortuous and weirdest six months of my life. I slaved over my coursework and finished in May (total time spent of Product Design, according to Powerpoint = 205 hours), did 15 hours worth of exams in June and then flew to New York the next day. My flight home got cancelled and I almost missed my graduation dance, but thanks to a fantastically sassy black woman named Angela I got home with 3 hours to spare. I then flew to Turkey 2 days later for an amazing week with some of my closest friends. I got back a week ago and now that I've fully recovered and my liver's gotten some life back, It's starting to hit me that everything is all over.
7 years at one school, and 14 years with several people I've known since I was 4 years old at the previous school. I'll be 18 in a week today and it really does feel like I'm growing up. It's scary.
What's even more scary is the summer that lays ahead of me. This is the summer where I need to focus completely on my drawing and animating skills, as well as teaching myself a bit of coding. This summer I need to like, double my current skills so that I can be the very best, like no-one ever was. It sucked that I had to go all cold turkey on my DeviantArt chums, but I don't think I would have survived this year if I hadn't! I'm back now though, and the uploads shall be dropping everywhere!

P.S. I cheated on you I'm so sorry... I got a Tumblr account. It meant nothing. I was thinking of you the whole time. Honestly babe, she's just a friend. thelamadude.tumblr.com
P.S.S. I also got a 3DS when I was in New York! Anyone got Animal Crossing? Hit me up! 3024-5730-3414

Achieving Dreams
I know I don't really go on DeviantArt anymore, but I think this deserves an update.
I got into Hertfordshire.
Oh yes.
This year was their biggest year ever for applicants, with over 1000 people applying. There were only 90 places available and they chose me. I still can't quite believe it.
Thank you so much to everyone who helped me out when I was getting started and supported me. I definitely couldn't have done it without you.
Oh yea, and did I mention that Hertfordshire was recently named one of the top 10 schools for animation in the world, alongside CalArts and Gnomon? So that's pretty amazing. And I'm a student there now. Yup.

Freedom 2: Free Harder
GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE.
EXAMS ARE OVER YES.
FREEDOM.
...Or not.
Now that the exams are over, I now have a shed-load of coursework to do. So, the battle has only started really. Sorry for the lack up updates so far this year people, but my college work has to unfortunately take priority until the summer. Drawing/Awesome creative times are having to take a back seat for a little while. Sadtimes.
Although, I've (rather stupidly) started to work on a little animated short. I actually aim to finish it this time round! Honest! If I don't I give you permission to call me girl's names. I also filed my application to become a submitting member of th
Cold Turkey
Happy new year people!!
I hope your festive season was totally awesome and you ate stupid amounts of food and are now fat.
Sad news:
I've got two exams coming up (A Film Studies exam on the 14th and a Product Design exam on the 18th) and in order to fully focus on them I am cutting myself off completely from technology and distractions. Unfortunately, this also means DeviantArt. Sadtimes. But do not fear! I will be back after the exams, with more weirdness than ever!
Don't miss me too much
Why do we fall, Mr Wayne?
So we can learn to pick ourselves up again.
And kick some artistic arse.
