Heya
Looks like blogging has fallen upon a Tuesday again. May aswel try keep it a regular thing then :) Im going to try to do 2 blogs a week. I keep getting distracted with creating and forget to blog! sorry haha
Been a bit of a mad one this week. Just started my new job officially as a part time Art Tutor to cerebral palsy sufferers. Lovely people. Heartbreaking hearing what people say to them.  :( But im overwhelmed with the paper work atm. its making sense as i look through it but there is tons!!! Just hope i still have time for art when i start the new academic year D: Ill MAKE TIME!! Who needs sleep amiright? :D
Not done any sketch dailies catch up work this week *wrist slap* aswel as sorting new job bits out been working on a logo for a Youtube channel.

How awesome is this for a hand?
