On the road to...

Somewhere. I was fired from my illustration job did I tell you? Bad times for them, they had to cut costs and I was like YAY! Because I really really needed to get a kick in the butt and focus on my own projects again, but it's not like you will go and turn down a well paid job when you just had a baby you know? So now I didn't have to make a decision yet a decision was made and it made me feel happier and more fulfilled.

So... I figured -- It's time for an update again, don't you think? I'm amazed I still have friends who watch me here after so much time of absence, we're not talking months anymore, we're talking years. But time really flies, it's true what they say! And here I am,  trying to browse through my 4000+ deviations I have on my watchlist and lurking around to see if my dears and darlings still hang out here (and you do!) with my white strands in my hair realizing I'm really not 20-something anymore, I'm 30-something. I have a husband. A baby. I am writing a book without any pictures in it. And I'm also working on books that will have pictures in them - but currently I've had to pause what I was doing to focus on finishing this book before summer is over. I have about 3 months before I want the complete story to be written down, I'm currently somewhere + 30 000 words which means... maybe a seventh or sixth of the book written? Math is not my strong side, storytelling is. And coffeedrinking. Yes that's right. Some things will always remain the same.

So basically this year 2013- year of the golden Snake - I'll be winging it.

Better put glasses on my third eye too - I need all my intuition. But I'm happy. Yeah. So - I will not stop painting and drawing BUT so you know - sometime this summer I'll have more time to draw and paint so I'll drown you  in work later - but for now it's the occasional drawing/painting and lurking about!
