Well my exams are done. Gosh it's wonderful to be finished. And now I'm off an elective to work in a small missionary hospital in the Solomon Islands. It should be absolutely fantastic. I've got a new camera and all of my snorkelling gear. I can;t wait to get over there. So excuse me for not replying to messages or commenting on work, as I'm no longer here. I'll be back in about a month. Hmmm... palm trees, diving, local beers and fishing... I need this See you all soon!

Exams!!!
_{I'm studying like crazy at the moment trying to get ready for my exams that are coming up in about 2 weeks. For some reason though my time spent on DA has been increasing.... Hmmm I wonder why I'm enjoying photoshop a ton these days. It's good times really. So much colour and speed without the trouble of real media... Anyway, Better get back to my study.... It will all be over soon....}

I know its very shallow and fickle of me to be happy about that, but what can I say... it does give a certain sense of satisfaction You guys are all very cool for all the great input, its much appreciated. Yay for DA and community 's all round.

I haven't had as much time for DA these days, but I'm still trying to slowly submit. Im going to be doing more digital art these days, experimenting with PS and tablet. Exams are coming up though, so expect some delays. Quantity over quality is the focus for me, something I think is sadly overlooked by a lot of deviants. It seems what a lot of people should submit as scraps go straight to deviation. Still, there are a lot of talented people on here. It just gets annoying when some of the great people on here put 30hrs plus into a piece and I never see it because of the wash of 10 minute scribbles in the browse menu. Oh well... there's my

All of that said... I still love this place. Such a great (and very addictive) way to waste time Yay!

New work

Welcome to my DA journal! I'm not sure how much I'll be updating this, but I thought I'd post some of the random categories from my gallery to save people from having to scour through my pages. If it makes my page much longer to load, tell me and I'll take it down. I hope you enjoy my randomness, and thanks for stopping by (you stay classy San Diego)!!!



Sunsets make me happy. Sunset photography (in my opinion) isnt as much based on skill as on timing, as it is the quality of the subject that defines the quality of the shot...


I spent about 3 months in egpt last years and fell in love with the country. These are some shots that we took there...


Just some random scrawls as I attempt to improve my art Pencilled then scanned (except for the first one which is from painter IX)


More random stuff. Really I've just been just messing around at this stage, mostly inpired by other great artists on DA. Hopefully there will be some refinement in this area...


These widescreen wallpapers result of some experimentation with fractal software and photoshop. I think I will bring out another series a little later on... I'll keep you posted.

Anyway - Thanks for visitng! And while you're here, leave a message to say hi!
