So, it's been over a year since I wrote the last journal and about two years since I was what you would call active on dA. Posting a few shoots, answering a few comments and thanking for the favs'n'stuff was all that I really did every once in a while since then.

Now, this isn't one of those "hey, I'm back for good" journals. Mostly because I can't say if that'll be true. But I feel the artsy getting back. There are quite a few things I wanna try out. But lemme rant about this some other time (maybe).

I thought what I'd do, is post a little personal update for the few who might be interested.

In general most things are the same. And as usual I got my fingers in a few dozen interesting subjects.

For example, I started sword fencing a few months ago. Really a great workout and reawakened my interests in other sports. Kicked my butt to finally start free climbing as well, which I wanted to do for years. Got into juggling as well, but aside a few hours I couldn't train much.

I'm fully employed at the university now and all the new responsibilities are really interesting, but time killers as well. Now I'm officially commanding people around and manage projects (not just de facto).

Overall it feels like a big personal growth. Or in the better terms, I'm levelling up.

On the downside, my last shooting was in December and ever since I didn't do much. No shootings, no other art or stuff that would be worth mentioning. Empty canvases, unfinished digital images, raw videos and untouched soapstones and wood blanks. No typography, no doodles. I even rejected all requests on flyers and stuff. The most creative stuff was layouting some documentations.

But I'd say I stayed blank for long enough. Let's see what I could do.

Well, that should do it for the moment.

Oh yeah, I'm really tempted this time to delete all messages in my message center. Did I miss anything important?

PS: You know what is kinda crazy? I just managed to finish some projects and get some spare time... but instead of doing some relaxing (as I originally planned) on the weekend, I already know that I will try to organize my art stuff to see what I can do. M. was right, some day I'll burn out... but I don't have time to care .
