I've stared planning out another painting which I don't expect to be finished for quite some time, but have a scene, some pose ideas and have even persuaded my house mate to pose for it. Yes she'll be fully clothed. Crikey, what are you like? Anyway, that'll be some way off yet.
Meanwhile, it's about time I started sorting out business cards as it seems like such a wasted opportunity when you meet people and they ask for one but you have nothing to give. Well, I think I still have some MX ones lying around, but it doesn't seem entirely appropriate to use those...
So, I'm working on a self portrait that I can shrink down and print out on expensive card with my name and phone number on the back. It's been ages since I painted a self portrait. It's very difficult to get a convincing expression on the face, I think I need to practice drawing expressions. Might be time to get that good old face book out again. Anyway, I'm not yet fully convinced by this, but it'll have to do for now.
Critiques even more welcome than usual on this one, I could really do with some tips on making this a bit more convincing!

I came here after..., well over a year has passed. Almost by accident. And what do I see? You are successful! Greatly improving your art skills in drawing and painting. Good to know. I wish you continued luck and happyness in the new year.
Good time to catch up. Events are on the horizon.
Gah, this is really bad... I'm embarrassed to even have this up here.
At least maybe I can use it to look back at myself and feel better about my (pretty damn slow) progress!
