So I'm driving back to a friends house with a couple of guys. We were just coming back from the supermarket (that thing is a life saver, open 24hrs!!!) after buying some junk food and looking forward to some multiplayer ps3 action!

Anyhow, Simon blurts out "SPIDER!!".. It took me a moment to register what he said, but a few seconds later my peripherals picked up on what he was talking about. I don't think I actually heard what he said at the time, I just heard a noise and then it hit me. I'm not sure how I missed it, but there was this MASSIVE spider crawling around the inside of my windshield... RIGHT INFRONT OF MY FACE!!!
Suddenly driving became a challenge, I could hear them yelling at me to pull over but I insisted it was fine seeing as it was only a Huntsman spider.

Well, I thought it was a Huntsman. I hear this "JOSH! THAT IS NOT A HUNTSMAN". It was funny at the time, I hadn't actually said anything yet somehow they all knew I assumed it was a harmless house spider... Well I was wrong!!! It was like all the blood had rushed out of my face and left this cold lifeless feeling. My security blanket was ripped off and all hell broke loose.

Everyone started to yell and demand that I pull over immediately. I mean, I can understand where they're coming from but there is no chance in hell I'm going to stop my car in the middle of the night with a spider next to my face!! not without a light anyway.
Luckily there was a petrol station not to far from our current possition, so we pulled in. I can't imagine how it must have looked! As soon as the car stopped we bailed and slammed the doors!!!

Cutting a long story short (partly because I need sleep..), we found the spider and sprayed the hell out of it to no avail. In the end, the guy at the station blasted it with fire and then put his cigarette out on it's head. I know, it sounds cruel!!
But keep this in mind, it looked venomous and when you live in Australia (the home of deadly spiders and snakes) you don't want to risk it!!!

Anyway, it is time to sleep!! I know this is poorly written, there are mistakes, bad grammer and I sound very unenthusiastic about it all.... But I'm tired as hell and want to post this while I still remember!!!

NIGHT!

Things to upload, things to delete and changing art direction.
I sort of realised why I get no attention on dA. There are a number of reasons... Too many.
The easy way out would be to say "I'm fairly inactive, I don't comment often, check out forums, upload much etc..." thats true and all.. But for the most part It's the fact I have nothing really inspiring in my gallery.

None of my work has any real life to it, I even get bored when looking through it. So in other words, If I can't find anything appealing about my own art, why should others? And well... They don't!
So in any case it all makes sense.

God knows who actually reads this, but tonight (after work) I think I'm going go through all my uploads and work out whats worth actually keeping.
MOST of my stuff is going to be either deleted, moved to scraps and whats in scraps will probably just be deleted as well.

As for a new direction, I have a few ideas. I already know whats wrong with my work, it's just a matter of adopting that mindset into new art and continuing down a new road.
In any case, things need to change big time.

Hopefully for the best

EEP!

I AM VERY INACTIVE! TIME TO GET BACK INTO DA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A new Idea stumbled out of me about an hour ago.
I began to realize how I can use myself as a reference sheet in terms of character design.
As up myself as that sounds, I've found that I can make more use of my personality faults than anything to broaden pre-existing character designs and drafts into something more.

Nothing in cement as of yet and I don't expect anyone to really read this because its more a note to myself to stick with what I'm thinking for now and see where it goes. Hopefully it will give me some depth now and maybe something worth posting up here. Seems all my other attempts end up either in a bin or in numerous paper envelopes under my bed..

So yeah, I'll try and work something out and become more active. I've noticed I'm not going anywhere on dA now and have to start being more social. Its a little naive to expect people to just COME to me.
