We'll be back shortly...

Hello!
Firstly, the reason for my lack of posts this past month is I've been quite ill with a chest infection that then progressed into pleurisy.
Unfortunatly, I had to scrap one of my performances that I had promised myself I would do since the start of this year. I was frustrated but I have a place on the show for next year.
I'm slowly getting better and as soon as I have I've made an oath to get my songs properly recorded.
This has nudged me to set up my own home studio which I've been debating about doing for a few months now.
So while I've been housebound I've searched high and low, scouring reviews and vlogs, for information on good quality, affordable equipment.
And I think I may have finally found the rest stuff!

I will post later on with what I am considering getting for my studio (:

The Wall

Hey Guys,
We're finishing up editing for the video, mostly my amazing braniac friend. I shall post the video up on here after we're done.
Performed at the Festival of Lights last night, a cover of Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men and two of my own What They Expected and Waiting For You. I was worried most of the week as my chest hasn't been very cooperative after my chest infection but I managed to get enough air and the audience enjoyed it which is the main thing.
Think I'll take this week easy as I'll have to start rehearsing again for my next performance soon.
So to cure my music addiction I'm going to look at adding some cello to my other songs, if you can't sing you got to play!

First day of filming

Its day one of filming a video for my song 'Waiting for you' Fair to say I am beyond tired and have a lot of cleaning up to do before everyone arrives.
Hoping to get some rainy shots (yeah hoping for rain!) Got my fingers crossed that the fake piano doesn't get ruined in the weather though.. Or my hair ;)

Koi Fish

I've always thought Koi fish beautiful but never plucked up the courage to try and draw one. I lost my Koi art virginity yesterday after watching a video on the basics of Koi drawing. After I'd grasped that I was away creating different Koi's. Here are some in black and white and a colour study, I'm currently working at putting the Koi's on canvas. 

Elephants

Intrigued by the snakes skin I looked for another animal who's skin would be hard to draw. An elephants wrinkles weren't as easy as I thought.

Snake

Thought a snake would be a challenge to try and draw, and it was the scale pattern was particularly hard to grasp.
