Am I getting bad at blogging? eh its summer!

Yo,

so this is a needle thrown in an empty haystack, but yeah first blog since May - oh I'm brilliant with this.
So first year of uni is over and all our class had a little summer project to complete for the start of term time and I have to say I'm fairly chuffed at all the sketchbook. I have covered not so much drawing -as I would like - as finding people,, editing photos and playing around with paint..... OH the freedom of a strict BRIEF!
Found out a lot this summer when it comes to my art too, it seriously is my therapeutic output on a stressful or bad day I can just paint like psycho and let my subconscious out into the world to just become normal again for a short period of time, also I've realized I've became kind of a rebel since college as I have more of my own mind when it comes to my work, as I'll do WHAT I WANT TO DO and as long as I'm happy then isn't that all that really matters as its my voice, my mind, my perception being portrayed in an art form.

All we had to do was to visualize our thoughts over the summer period and let our minds go wild with ideas and let it branch into dangerous territory and make our curiosity take over our usual creative-ness.

So here it goes my summer has been a roller coaster as fucking corny and cheesy as it sounds it really has I've been to Stockholm, moved flat, had a couple of breakdowns, started counselling again, celebrated Duns-ness, lost my chav car McKenzie Betsy, 21st birthdays, back and forth from Aberdeen and Scottish borders life, have no money, worked my pants off, had friends take over my house, visited a lot of studios, came to some revelations, watched to much TV series online, failed to mountain bike at Glentress, partied my but off, tried to keep my desire too go to Austria to visit Arnulf Rainers museum at bay and wanted the summer to be over in July so I could have uni normality back oh and died in the heat about 5 million times!

ENJOY...... p.s oh yeah so sorry for how incredibly long this is!
