I think you guys must have realised I'm not much of a blogger.

So This is the first Journal Post I've done for 2008!! yep.. partly cos I'm a lazy blogger and also there was not much interesting news to say until now...

~NEWS~

As some of you probably already know. After Graduating last year. I started working for a small production company for television as a production assistant a.k.a. runner. I started on January and now sadly I'm almost at an end with my contract. So I did a few design work but not much.. some mood boards, a little concept work which both projects still waiting to be commissioned. Mostly I have worked on the office. copying and printing scripts, phone answering etc.

But the biggest Highlight is definitely on Thursday 26th of June. My visit at the Shepperton Studios!!
I visited the set of a new comedy sitcom for BBC2 (UK channel) called "The Beautiful People" written by Jonathan Harvey. I got to meet some of the starts and the director and set designers which was so interesting and an amazing experience. After my very encouraging talk with the Art production department I have been encourage to go around the studios and see what other films and shows are being made right now and to my luck the next studio was shooting the last bits of HARRY POTTER : The Half Blood Prince!!!! I got to see the enormous model of Hogwarts as they dust snow on it. I was lucky enough to get an audience with the Art Director and he had a peek of a small version of my portfolio then proceed on taking my card!!

I guess this is a lesson that hard work does pay in the end.. there were times at the production office I felt like giving up. the pay was low, I wasn't doing what I wanted to do but I stuck by it and I know I've got a long way to go but I know I will get there.

On another note,
I managed to sell a canvas print of the 1st of my Hybrid Fusion series "Butterfly". I'm currently working on the next installment. I'm also opening up an ebay store to sell more prints if anyone is interested but more on that on a later date once I have set everything up.

I'm in the process of moving into the big city of London!! yep. I have 2 job interviews tomorrow so peoples, wish me luck!!

~THANKS~

When life gives you lemons, cut them in half and stick them in someone else's eyes. It'll make you feel (somewhat) better.

It is through art, and through art only, that we can realize our perfection; through art and art only that we can shield ourselves from the sordid perils of actual existence.

For a long time it gave me nightmares...
Having to witness an injustice like that.
It was a constant reminder of how unfair this world can be.
I can still hear them taunting him;
"Silly Rabbit, Trix are for kids."

Small World indeed!!! *fingers cross* I hope I'll get a call one of these days. But in the meantime I will be carrying on dropping resumes portfolio etc. It would be a good break to get a job on the next one though.

lol yeah guess i forgot to close that.. maybe I should do a preview before posting? lol

OH thats who I forgot.. awww I was thinking I missed out someone... I was just deleating a lot of icons cos I had loads but I must have deleted her old account icon but forgot to put the new one.

I got a job offer but not on the one i really wanted cos that one was a 6months placement with no pay.. I should hear from them next week but its no use I wont be accepting either way I can't afford to move to london to work for no pay.. however ideal the job description might be.. i accepted the offer for the other job even if its admin but its good pay and I could move to london and work freelance on the side! which is my plan.

Iwill put TK on my journal next time.
