Blimey, i havent updated my journal since last may!
Well a lot has happened to me since then. The biggest thing being i was made redundant just after christmas from my regular day job where i built and repaired pc's. So for the moment my art is supporting my family. Its a very scary time indeed.

So far so good though, i have made enough from my comissions to pay the bills and keep the kids fed so fingers crossed that things will continue this well. It woudl be great if i could make a go of it as a freelance artist as it has always been a dream job for me but ive never had the balls to walk away from the steady secured pay check every month and give it a go. Mainly because i would hate my family to suffer because of a bad decision on my part. So i am now hunting for a job like crazy and in the mean time praying my art will keep us afloat.

A few short months ago i had the pleasure of doing a guitar for Andrew Guyton who is one of Brian May's (Queen) guitar guys. He needed the "We Will Rock You" logo airbrushed onto one of Brian May's guitars and it was apparently going to be presented to one of the cast of the musical. I had great fun doing it and what a great client!

This month i have a 3 page article on how i got started in art/airbrushing in"Pinstriping & Kustom Graphics" magazine. It came out really great! I was expecting just a half page little thing so imagine my surprise when the issue hit my doorstep yesterday and i saw i had 3 pages all to myself lol

I am also going to be at a big custom bike show this April in Earls Court, London. Myself and some other airbrush artists will be on the Iwata stand showing people our airbrushing skills and chatting to anyone who wants a natter. Its the first show i have ever done so im quite nervous but also excited as hell!

Anyway, as time is money and for the time being i am my own boss im going to go shout at myself to get back to work hehe.

Take care all and ill be back soon
Svee.
