Just a really quick shout out to all those who have given me faves and watches, as I always say they're appreciated.

Nuff said.

Art theft is bad!

a·pol·o·gy [uh-pol-uh-jee]
–noun, plural -gies.
1. a written or spoken expression of one's regret, remorse, or sorrow for having insulted, failed, injured, or wronged another: He demanded an apology from me for calling him a crook.

All I seem to do lately is apologise for my absence, no I haven't thrown caution to the wind and finally took up the glamourous and fashionable life of a Hermit. I've just been rather busy/stressed/tired/had no spare time/ill (delete where applicable depending on which of the past few months were talking about).

My work has been the main reason, the past few months have been rocky for the design company I work for and for a few various reasons they found that a lot of work had dried up, whilst in the short term this was great as it aloud us to work on the company portfolio and the new company website (I got to learn so more Flash) the long term meant low to none profit margins and jobs and the future of the company were (and to some extent still are) in the balance, which was all very stressful.

I've had itchy feet for awhile but I want my cake and I want to Goddamn eat it, icing and all, as in I want to move on when I'm good and ready and have found that rather illusive thing that is 'the perfect job' to move onto, I want to jump, not be pushed into the choppy, mirky, shark infested waters that is unemployment.

Well in the end I wasn't for the chop it was another worker and in the spirit of self preservation, thank the Lord! But with all the hard work I've put in over the years and the shit I've put up with, I should think so too!

After a rather insane period of constant marketing, we now busy again, infact too busy which by the time I get home leaves me in a constant tired/ill zombie like state. My partner now thinks I have the mentality of a 70 year old as on the odd occasion I'm that tired I'm in bed at 9:30, apparently (as he tells me) I'm a boring boyfriend nowadays!

I am starting to have withdrawal symptoms from not doing any of my own artwork and my websites are extremely overdue. Hopefully I will eventually drag myself back onto my Mac and start some new art (as long as my Xbox 360 I received from my partner for Xmas doesn't distract me first). Until then I still check my Dev watches and messages, thanks for all the faves and watches, they're still very much appreciated.

Take care my fellow creative types, see you soon.

Urm.....yeah.......what he said!?!

As pointed out by the poultry king that is I realize I've been pretty neglectful of my DA account of late, thought I'd share the excuse I offered him:

"Yeah have been very quite on DA, was busy with my first flash portfolio, then busy landscaping our garden with my b/f and know I'm busy working on a Flash website/portfolio for work (with very little flash knowledge). As I've nearly tied down my design for nookiedesign.com I figured I'd use my works site to learn all the pitfalls and then use all that knowledge on my own sites.

Have been working out how to use the 'load movie' script today to keep my main Flash file simpler and reduce the filesize/download speed. I'm slowly getting my head round it, but it can be a little baffling sometimes. I'm also trying to work out the best way to structure my timeline."

I'm sure you all weren't that interested, but I forced it apon you all regardless HAHAHAHAHAHA <<Evil Laugh!!!

I do have the odd thing I will submit to DA soon, nothing big but don't worry I shall return.

I've been pretty busy of late, I'm in the process of creating a new portfolio which is turning out to take alot longer than I'd hoped. It's taught me that my work isn't varied enough, hence my new pieces. I'm also finding it hard to decided on what to put in and how much, I have quite a bit to choose from (I don't put everything I create on Dev). Here's hoping it turns out well and is finished sometime this century.

Just a little update as my previous journel was really out dated. Not much to report, I have something in the pipeline I'm really hoping will pan out well, but I know all to well that life's plans are often all to different to mine!

My sites are still in progress but don't expect anything too soon as it's a slow process.

As always all the comments, faves and watches are always appreciated.
