This is just a quick update to let you know that I am not dead (again) and that I am merely very occupied at the moment with my studies. I have had to plan the first essay I have done from scratch in over three years and getting a grip on things has been taking up pretty much all of my time. For those of you who are interested, I am writing an essay on the Medieval English Pieta, or Our Lady of Pity--
Hey, wake up! I first it interesting.
Anyhoo, that has been taking up pretty much all of my time. Work has been taking up the rest. I actually had my first crazy person yesterday. A girl just randomly called me rude -- which I in turn found rude. Seriously, I was just trying to help her figure out what IT problem she was having because she said she couldn't log in and she randomly said, "...I think you're being very rude. Just now you were very rude!"
Literally, I was so taken aback. I have a naturally perky tone and I was in the process of pointing her over to the right area she needed to go. Afterwards my colleague, who was there, said "I think she took the 'what exactly is your problem?' to mean 'what the problem with you?'" Either way I was fucking offended. Still, doubt the girl will come back if she sees me again seeing as she seems overly sensitive to one word. I guess she was just having a bad day but I was pretty offended by her metaphorically slapping me in the face.
Who cares? Thankfully I had to go to the National Gallery for a presentation that we are doing in a seminar on museum presentation on Monday. Being around those paintings, all that history... it really was a cathartic feeling. Even as I was look at them and taking pictures, I felt so peaceful and I realised how much better I felt about that random girl snapping at me.
Art really is a healer.

Working progresses :P Also, Birthday.
So, it's my birthday on Sunday. In case some of the oldies who knew me back when are keeping score I still tend to get sad on my birthday.
I hadn't expected to get the second Val picture done because around 6pm it looked like this:
I actually tried to capture the whole process but I completely mucked up the screen capture process so I ended up capturing the wrong screen. Oh well, maybe next time.
Also, I'm working on a short origin piece for Zoe the Snivy (my semi-mascot around here). That's taking longer because I need to draw proper backgrounds again.
I have other bits and bobs lying around too but not sure what I'm going with them yet.
New name, new start.
I left DeviantArt for over a year.
Actually, I pretty much left most places on the internet. I'm only just getting back into it. I don't really want to go into all the details as to why as they are personal. The best thing to come out of that year-and-a-bit was that I actually managed to finish my Masters degree. Regardless, there was a lot going on and it has only been the last few months where I felt ready to get back into the things I used to do and enjoy.
Brexit and what it means to me
Hey, Sophie! Aren't you British?
Yep.
Got thoughts on the Brexit?
I guess.
Considering that I am British and we just had a potentially Earth-shattering, shaking and shocking referendum after which we opted to say "cheerio" to the broken dream that is the single-market of Europe. That is what the United Kingdom initially joined for, after all.
Twice we applied. It seemed like an absolutely amazing idea.
Then EU stopped being solely about trade/regulations and everything about an undemocratic big government. We found ourselves voting in MEPs to sit in the European Parliament and yet had no idea of what their purpose is. It seems the idea
Happy Day-After April Fools Day
I always skip the day itself because I never have a good prank to pull on anyone. One day I will think of a good one and trick you all, if only for a brief second. I'll take advantage of the time zone different between myself or my American fans or whatever.
Either way, let me quickly (and randomly) share with you all my favourite April Fools jokes from one of the channels I follow on Youtube. It's by JelloApocalypse and it is so good, you'll wish it was a real thing:
Got to admit that I love a good Abridged Series parody/episode/whatever.
Enjoy!
