Working harder than I have in my life and I've never felt better. Super inspired lately and super busy with TAFE work and my own personal projects. Hope everyone is doing well! PEACE!
Shifting Gears!
Now that I have my Diploma in Graphic Design, 2016 can shift back to an even more creatively focused year with plenty of Illustration and (hopefully) conventions!
I'm already confirmed for AICon 2016 in Hobart and I'm looking to possibly get a spot at Oz-Comic Con in Melbourne once those tables become available, along with the obvious MAICon 2016 here in Launceston in September (that'll be my return appearance) along with any times the Geek Market pops up in town too.
Also, I made an update to my personal branding that I've wanted to do for a while but decided to wait until 2016 started to switch things up. Happy New Year!

It's almost been three months since I posted a journal but this time, it's not because of a lack of motivation! Ohhhhh no. There has been a freaking whirlwind of projects and goings on around me since I last typed one of these up in September and because it's all kind of not over just yet, I've only got time for a quick recap so I'm throwing all professionalism out of the window for a moment to just, GUSH.
Outside of my course, I put together an entry for the Grand Diemen Awards and was nominated for Student of the Year consideration. Interview ended up being alright and I wasn't in the top three so I have no idea where I placed.

Last year, I attended MAICon 2014 and really enjoyed myself but I had chickened out of booking a table because I was unsure about selling my own work at the time. Not to mention, I can honestly say a year later, I wasn't in the best place at the time. I had a lot of priorities to work out for myself and things to have time to grieve over and move on so I could really g
Going to MAI(first)CON!
A couple of months ago I saw a job application for an entry level Graphic Designer at Madman Entertainment up in Melbourne and spent a week working on my application and including a full page drawing of 150 characters from Madman releases because in the application they requested "in 150 characters or less, tell us why you're important. Catch our eye!" I ended up getting sick during all this and set myself a week behind on TAFE by working through being sick and burning out in the process. I've finally almost caught up thanks to having holiday time so we're not being given any new work currently and now I can hopefully get to my backlog of a c
