Hey guys. It's been a little over 3 weeks since I last updated. I finished my exams on the 19th so, yay, no school ever again. Just gotta sit tight until the results now. I've been busy trying to redeem my social life since then, so I haven't gotten much time to do a lot of drawing but I have some bits and bobs from the last week.

A new photos I've snapped around Waterford.

I started one drawing but didn't finish the hair. I don't think I have the patience to finish it but I like it so far, so here it is.

I would. 

Sometimes it takes the prettiest of days to make you realise how blessed you are. 
Today was wonderful. Some of the biggest exams i'll ever take begin in three days and guess what I did? I got my stuff together and went to the beach... and it was glorious. I love my life. I really, really do. I might complain some of the time but I know just how lucky I am and I'm grateful. 
I love this beach.



I've also done a few more sketches. I guess I'm doing a lot more of this lately to keep my nerves at bay, and it's working. 
Also, I really appreciate all your comments I've been getting lately. You guys rock.

Life is strange right now. I can't say that I'm geniunely happy, but I'm not particularly sad either. I'm just in waiting. My social life is bye bye and I miss it... But I have a feeling that June 19th will be the happiest day of my life. Leaving Cert finisho. No more Secondary School. No more exams. No more drama. Oh, how I hate the drama. Time to grow up and move on with life. I'm excited.

Here's some random sketches I did earlier today. I only had red, blue, green, purple and yellow so the colours look pretty much the same in every one.

I'm trying out this new thing called "working". Wish me luck!

I had the most incredible dream ever last night. It was so visual. I won't try to explain it because I've tried to already and it didn't make much sense... But inspired me to really think about creating a set of paintings based around the story. I started a few sketches, so to not forget. Here's one:



It was all based around bridges and clocks and the science of time travel. I think i've been watching too much sci-fi. 
edit: i just realised i had a glass of whiskey before i went to bed, that explains a lot. 

The Leaving Cert is quickly approaching. I feel like I should be a nervous wreck but I'm strangely calm, considering I'm not exactly prepared for the majority of my exams. I feel like I'm in a stage of waiting. I'm waiting for them to be over, rather than waiting for them to begin. It's quite silly. I just can't wait for life to begin. I can leave all the teen drama and stress behind me and start new, start doing what I really want to do, you know? 

What are you waiting for?
