It’s a cartoon me, by The Tiny Hobo!

If you follow me on Facebook, you’ve already seen this, but I can’t help but show it off here. I stumbled across Valerie aka The Tiny Hobo via Tess & pretty much fell in love with her adorable art. She accepts commission and at a more then affordable price. This what she came up with for me, I gave her a link to my blog and artistic freedom & I couldn’t be more happier! I think I may have actually squealed when I noticed she put my Mr Frodo in!

Designs! Art, Invoices & Media Kits!

My insomnia has kicked in and I’m finding myself left with a whole lot of time to fill. So, what do I do? Design. be it drawing,m painting, web designing, I like to keep my head occupied. Above is about 2 hours work.

I’ve also been updating my personal identity/branding. Trying to merge my design work with my blogs. Above is my new invoice. I’ve also re-done some of my online portfolio.

I’m now currently in the process of designing my first media kit for this blog. Yay!

Design Update!

vector art

Slowly trying to get out of bed a little. Been going a little crazy. It’s times like these I wish I had an outside chase lounge. Even though it is supposed to Autumn, the sun has been out and it’s been a rather hot 26°c.

To dwindle away the time, I’ve been watching Doctor Who, reading & designing! To the left is some vector art I kicked out in about an hour (click to enlarge). It’s been ages since I’ve drawn. Also, I’ve set up a self hosted wordpress blog for Cait of Closet Confessions. She’s having a friend design the header, but I designed the layout, installed the wordpress & then transferred all 50+ of her entries over. Phew.

Now is the time if you want any web or design work done, seeing as I can’t really get up to any mischief out of the house!

Quick pics & some ramblings!

I’m working on 4 hours sleep in the last 40 odd hours. I’m hoping i’ll sleep soon but I’m so wound up & stressed that I can’t seem to relax. If all else fails, i’ll pull Adam’s bean bag out into the garden tomorrow and nap in the open air (under shade of course, I burn with in minutes!).

I cried so much today, it’s a mixture of things. I’m stressed about one of the design jobs I’m doing, I’m stressed about money. I’m depressed & frustrated about my mental illness, which is somewhat amusing. I want to study, but I need a steady job to pay for the studies, but I can’t seem to get a job. Jobs are hard to come by these days, I know. I miss working. Then again, it’s also hard for me due to my problems, the fact that I can’t do some things a lot of people take for granted.

This year, i’ve been trying to set some goals for myself. I’m going to focus on my health. I did pretty well last year, but I really should have some of the tests I have been putting off. I need to get some help with my polycystic ovaries. I need to talk to my doctor about how ‘the pill’ is effecting me, is it making me even more emotional? I need to get tests done for my circulation and I need to see an rheumatologist. I should also continue on my quest to find an Adelaide psych.

I’m just feeling a little down, but slowly and righting back up again with the little things. This is the first time Henry has ever seen someone cry & he seems to have decided tears are tasty! He can be a super sook, and seeing I was out most of today, he decided he had to lay in my lap like a baby. It’s so great to see him getting along with the other dogs. Of course Frodo has been getting a little jealous, but then lapping up any extra attention he’s been getting. I don’t think anything in the world can make me happier then animals can.

Henry has decided he likes to sleep in the dogs cretes!

Frodo & Ginny decided to kill one of their toys, with very Henry looking stuffing!

Bored the other night, a quick character design mock up.
