necros

I've never been one for washing excessively long blogs, and this one will be no different. I do however feel somewhat compelled to keep some form of record of recent events.

I finally graduated last week after completing my degree in June. The event itself was overly long, imo, but it was nice to be recognised for my achievement. It was a bitch of a final year, but I'm proud of myself for getting through it.

I was invited to my old college to be a guest lecturer for one of the business classes given to design and art students. I got a really warm response and got some great questions from the students. All in all, a great experience which left me considering becoming a lecturer further down the road, but I instantly thought of the old adage; 'those who can't do, teach.'

The publishing house that I design for is super happy with my work and it is looking like I will be made a permanent fixture. The projects for the start of the year are very exciting and will potentially make a name for myself by being in a key role, so fingers crossed for all that jazz. Sadly, I can't discuss the details of the projects but you'll hear all about it soon enough.

In October I became vegetarian, and thus far all things are going well. I had been wanting to for a long time and now I have finally pulled my finger out and done it.

I finally started working on personal art projects and have begun producing some works. Hoping to exhibit in early 2012 with some other local artists.

I also got a xbox360, finally! So I can dust off Red Dead Redemption and I picked up both the new Call of Duty and Battlefield.

Life is good.
