After getting into a huge debate (friendly) on MSN...

The topic was pet hates or as I call them ‘irritations ’ within DA and the art /creative world.

My personal views on this matter is leaning towards people can do what they want. Don’t get me wrong I have my own irritations on DA and the art world is general... However I accept this are my personal views... and my views alone.
I bet many of you cannot guess what these annoyances are.
As I very much believe in the old age wisdom that has been passed down for generations, yet no one seems to take notice of anymore ‘if you can’t say anything nice, then you don’t say anything at all’. After all if I don’t like it I don’t have to view/read...!

Which brings me to the main topic of debate...

“If you got a commission based upon one of the things I dislike, would I take it?”

The answer is depending if it is something which I truly passionate believe against is, which would be of my mortal consistence passionate to draw/write or just my personal views on the matter.
There isn’t that much that falls into the category of what I mortal belief against, there are something I would never use my creative skills to do.
However the little irritations, yes I could. Mainly as I may not agree 100% with the creative process or vision but I can respect it. I can even find the inspiration within and if I push aside my ‘irritations’ I can enjoy and relate to.

This view has been branded as a “sell out!”
At the end of the day, everyone has to earn money... mostly doing this you hate, if you had a paying client and he wanted something you thought was horrible, would you turn him away? At the end of the day what your personal view would be won’t be the views of countless others.
Then a lot of people would be out of business on that principal alone!
I think that want makes a good designer/artist is being able to relate to clients on most levels.

I found over the years that my open minded view to others, I have learnt to appreciate the art/creative opinions I didn’t original agree with, giving me a border view/insight.
I am not asking people to have the same attitude as me, we are all different and that what makes us as a human race special.

Anyway... (Keep this nice... everyone is entitled to their own options, right or wrong... it’s the power of freedom of speech)


What are your views?

Be honest, it does not matter if I agree or not, like creativeness I will respect your views.

Well you if you saw my last art (posted on Fri) saying I just needed to mindlessly colour because I need to keep my minds of things... And I promised to post/update in my Journal as soon as I could.

Well after Christmas Eve I won’t have a job (Christmas Eve is my last day) to be honest, I knew it was coming. I am still gutted it has happened.

Feeling quite stressed and a little depressed over things right now. We live on the bread line right now... I rarely have any money spare after all the bills... so to be without a job this time round would be a nightmare (This is the 3rd time in 3 years I will be out of the job due mainly to the climate)

I am applying for jobs like there are no tomorrow....

Tomorrow I have the wedding I have been looking forward to so much (my Cousin) Gutted I have to count the pennies/be careful with money (as we have to pay for a hotel for the night as quite far from where we live... and been booked ages)
Hope it goes well for them it is set in the beautiful castle.. A real fairy tale dream. They are a wonderful couple and I wish them all the happiness that I and my husband have found since being married.

Sorry for the moan... I know a lot of people are in the same boat right now.

All I can do is pray for a better tomorrow xXx


Will do a real journal post on a brighter note soon.... Take care,,, be good and if you cant be good be safe xXx

It is October already!!! & News

Cannot believe it, where is this year going?
It seems like it has only been two moments since June! Never mind October!

Can’t complain too much, it is my birthday this week and I love this time of year... and no! Not just for the fact it’s my Birthday (although I cannot deny that is one of the reasons)
I love Autumn / Fall,,, Around the time of my birthday the weather starts to turn cold.. This means I can get out all my winter clothes, the big oversized jumpers, furry socks and my gloves...
The colours changes to warm browns, gold and red, the feeling of walking though the leaves that crisp chomping under my feet... The wonderful sounds of the leaves rattling and seeing things fly though the air around me.
Also the excitement as thoughts start to turns towards Christmas... oh Halloween, Bonfire night....ohhhh bonfire night smells in the air at night.... *goes all dreamy*
I could list lots of reason why Autumn/Fall is my favourite season (spring is close second)

Commissions are open... In need of money, kind of living on the bread line at the moments... still have a lot of post-wedding bills. Also have a wedding at the end of October in this wonderful castle in Harrogate (just outside Leeds in the UK) I would like to get them a nice gift or put towards their honeymoon... which is proving a bit hard as I have spent up to my limit this month spending on food *sigh* never mind the financial recession more like financial depression.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

To one of my best friends on this earth Chelle, She does have a DA account, but she rarely goes on and I have never seen her draw anything. She is more a lover of arts hehe
