Not really sure where to start but I suppose I should just dive in and hope this all makes some sort of sense...

I had every good intention of really getting this blog going again at the beginning of this year with that last post of mine. I really did I swear. So much has happened this year and so much has changed that I don't even really know which end is up anymore. I know one thing for sure though, I really do want to get this blog going again as a place for me to post my thoughts, ideas, adventures about this industry that I am in.

Reading back through all of my posts (we're talking all the way back to 2008 when I first started my adventure) I can see my enthusiasm and my love creating art but over the last few years I can clearly see a change in my work and my approach to things... I'm not really sure what happened but I have been doing a lot of soul searching and I think things started to shift somewhere in 2011. I had a lot of things happen to me (not all of which were nice) in 2011 but I still can't really pinpoint what exactly it was that changed me.

I try to complete one Moleskine sketchbook per year and looking back at all the ones I've completed over the years, it very clearly shows me that something happened between 2009-2011. Even the quality of my line changes. It's really weird to be honest and a little freaky. I know we all change as we age and that sort of thing, but this is a bit different. It's like my confidence in my work was shot straight out the window. Hm...

Anyway, I'm not going to go into all the details now, but it's definitely something that's been on my mind as this year comes to an end.

So I'm thinking of getting this blog going again as a place to talk about the industry, share some stories, ideas, thoughts like this one and that sort of thing. Art might appear here on occasion too, but I will likely keep that for places like my Tumblr, Instagram and deviantART pages instead. I don't really like having to post the same piece of art to 10,000 different social media platforms. Tumblr/Instagram is mostly work in progress/sketches and deviantART is more for finished pieces. Anything I am really happy with goes on my website. Hope that makes sense hehe, the links are all on the right if you want to check any of that out.

Anyway, that's all for now.

Cheers!

So I finally got to see the new Star Wars movie. I cried. It was so much better than anything I was hoping for and so we saw it again (my man and me) and I'm hoping I'll be lucky enough to see it one more time before it's out of theatres. I can't believe how much I love it. I won't get into any details because I don't want to be one of those people who totally ruins it for someone. Just bring kleenex because the nostalgia is enough to cripple you. Hehe.
Also! Happy New Year! I myself am off to a great start over here in Courtneyland. I've organized my home top to bottom with the help of my guy and we are ready to kick this year's ass around the block and back again. I've got my goals (not resolutions people, resolutions aren't where it's at, GOALS are where it's at) ready to roll and all my paperwork up to date. YAY ME!

I would also like to thank all the lovely people who bought from my Redbubble store over the last few months, I never thought I'd see the day! It really means a lot to me when you guys show your support!

Other than that, there isn't too much new to report. I've got art planned, nothing in progress yet, but lots of plans to actually get some more art rolling haha!

Hope your week is an awesome one!

Cheers,
Courtney

Haircuts and Art!

I finally got my hair cut!!! Oh happy day!

I've had almost waist-length hair for almost two years now and I finally said ENOUGH is ENOUGH. I am so tired of waking up to the sensation of being choked by my own murderous hair I decided to get it all cut off. The darn stuff grows like a weed! It's crazy!!

I now have beautiful (if I do say so myself) shoulder length hair and I slept undisturbed last night by my now tamed mane. Yay me!



Here is a sneak peek at the sketch for the new header that I'm working for my website. I hope I can finish it soon since today is the 1st of December and time is officially ticking on this one! I really need to be better prepared for these holiday things hehe... I also hope I can find time to do the New Years one I have planned.








Anyway! That's all she wrote for now and I'll hopefully have another work in progress to show later this week. YAY!

BOO!

OK, so after a very long hiatus (technically a blog-move to tumblr), I've decided to get my blogspot blog going again!

What I need is a place to talk about life, art and share some of my adventures. Tumblr is great, but it sometimes feels very impersonal and I kind of miss my blogger buddies here in the blogspot verse.

So if you've missed me and are wondering what I've been up to, you can look forward to seeing some new updates and maybe even some art! Though I'm not gonna lie, this is gonna be a very casual thing as I already have like ten billion other sites and pages to update (how I keep track of it all I'll never know).

This is all I'm going to write up for now.

What have all you lovelies been up to?
