So much to do...and so little time!!

OK, recently I've been bitten by the 'busy, I want to do creative stuff' bug. I've been looking at opportunities left right and centre, I am being proactive, and things are starting to be looking awesomely positive! There's a few potential paid commissions I could be working on soon, and also planning to enter a competition, but I won't say too much about it yet until I know I will definitely enter. I've got till the end of January to produce a couple of paintings, and I will be sure to let you guys know what happens in the end.

Also, for my uni, we have to learn how to 'brand' ourselves as creative professionals. I am dead excited for this because I really want to make a great impression with what I can produce in terms of a flashy artsy website, a business card, and some kind of logo to represent my name, who I am. I am also feeling a bit stressed at the same time as I am going to have to learn a lot of software stuff along the way, but this is the time to do it...not after I graduate, NOW!! So yeah, apart from the boring side of uni (ie: writing stuff...hate writing really, lol) I am really excited about learning to promote myself. I am also going to be doing some work experience hopefully at a couple of animation studios here in the UK next semester. Lots to do, lots to doooo...and also, very excited to be going back to Colombia next month for Christmas and New Year's, been over a year since I last saw my family there, but before that, MUST COMPLETE SO MUCH! I hope this is enough consent and motivation for me to get my arse in gear....yay!!!

Watch this space dudes and dudettes!!

Obama!

I have to say I have never been interested in politics or wanted to be involved, but the current American presidential election has grown on me. For once in my life I wish I could be an American citizen now and be able to vote and help make a difference in this history-making election. I totally back Barack Obama 100% and wish him all the best. I've been glued to BBC's online live coverage of the voting results and have felt even emotional about this, bit strange for me, but I feel something special will happen if Obama becomes the next president. Although I am technically British and I live and study in the UK, I had a large part of my life/childhood in the states and I know a little from experience what this could mean to the country. I luckily lived there during Clinton's presidency and left not long after Geroge W. Bush's first term, thank goodness, lol. But I feel for my friends back in New Jersey and the surrounding states, I hope that they took part in this voting opportunity and hope for great philosophical and phundamental change in America's government.

Well, this is all I wanted to say for now. Amazing I am even talking about politics....Obama has really reached so many people in so many ways...people like me who are frankly inactive in politics, so that already has to say something about him. Bring on the change!!!!!!!
