PSD for tumblr graphic: https://www.box.com/s/164jqs84hov85xdrl6qu
I actually coloured each of the screencaps separately before pasting them into that file, and I'm afraid I don't have PSDs for those anymore. But basically I just used the a soft brush to paint over any details in the background and then just applied selective colouring and curves to enhance the caps

JUST FINISHED RED DEAD REDEMPTION. FEELINGS SPILLING ALL OVER THE FLOOR. MY TEARS ARE LAKE DON JULIO. HOLD ME. E.T.C.

i really want to make a tragic John/Bonnie fanmix 'cos i still ship it so hard and i'm not even sorry although i really like abigail but omg she crushed my heart with her toe shuffling and longing looks and sakjdljapj;aa i can't

My Christmas present this year is an Olympus E-PL1 compact system camera which I love so much and would possibly marry if it were legal. I really want to improve my photography and I've decided to set up a seperate blog at tumblr where I can share some of my snaps.

Just incase anyone is interested! If any of my flist or passing visitors have anything similiar and want to share just drop your url here and I'll follow back. :)

Just FYI to any Playstation gamers, the PSN is back up and running for the UK and US.

BRB, just deleting my account. Up yours, Sony.

Main computer is deeeeeead. At first Avast was just blocking all these malicious URLs but then something got through. That developed into the dreaded Fake Antivirus 2011 (I've now had the '09, '10 and '11 strains, I'm starting to feel quite special) which fucking hijacked everything. I managed to get rid of that, but it broke all my .exe files. I even managed to fix that but just when everything was starting to look peachy the hidden REPEATER virus sprung to life. That one I just couldn't get rid of and it all went to hell.

So, wiped the harddrive, back to factory settings for me. Managed to back up most important files but it's going to take some time to get everything up and running again. The whole debacle has made me tired of the computer at all so don't be concerned if I'm even quieter than I have been lately as it is.

Ho hum, back I go to check on my second attempt at a Windows installation. If it doesn't work this time I am literally going to take the computer to the back of the garden and set fire to it.

Oh look who crumbled under pressure. Shockingly.
Incredible play from Novak, he is surely at the peak of his game. A very well deserved win indeed.
LOL, people in the audience getting his sweaty shoes, he's awesome.

p.s. Dear Commentator/BBC peoples,

Thank you for apologizing about Murray's swearing and then immediately showing a slow-motion replay of it so we could all lip read with perfect precision. I haven't laughed that hard in days.

+ HELL YEAH MURRAY, WOOHOO! Djokovic/Murray final, I'm kind of excited about it. They're both pretty on fire right now, it should be an interesting match. I have a feeling Novak is going to win, but I'd love Murray to prove me wrong. It'd be awesome for Britain, plus it will wind up my co-worker so bad. Heh heh heh.

+ Oh my heck, Adele's new album is amazing. She's come a long way since what was, imo, a slightly patchy debut. There's honestly not a weak song on here. Love heeeeeer. ♥♥♥

+ Ok that's all, I'm going back to Photoshop now, lots of icons to be made!

I'm going to keep this public incase any fans who stumble over here want to come in and share their thoughts.

( spoilers everywhere. major ones. also tl;dr.Collapse )

Bad photo is baaaaad (I was rushed), but I did promise, so here we are: marzipan penguins!



Did you know mixing food colouring paste into marzipan is really messy? :P

Tommorow's creation will be: butterfly cookies! Messy icing and flour dust everywhere, woohoo!
Also, I really need to decide on a subject for my next drawing. I decided my 2011 resolution is to get my pencils out from hybernation and draw more. The only way I'm going to improve on all those areas I feel I'm failing in is if I practice more.
