    Sup guys, I'm not dead! Been mad busy the last while trying to do art and whatnot.

    I'm not sure if this counts as creativity or not, but I've spent many the sleepless night the last week or so doing up my own website for my photography and drawings, as well as a facebook page. So if anyone would like to have a look and give me some feedback here are the links. I might even have time to draw some random pokemon and FF stuff again soon :P

    Had a productive day or two, drawing stuff and turning them into prints. The papers just stained with coffee and tea.

    Sounds like a solid compromise.

    I enjoy watching a spot of tennis. For those who haven't heard, Irish #1 James McGee last night qualified for the US Open for the very first time. So I decided I'd try and draw him!

    Gave James Cluskey a go too. Irish doubles #1.

    Might make a few more of these tennis portraits during the next two weeks given the USO is on.

    thought I could post some of my stories and poems I've written here:) I wrote this a few years ago:


    A day in the life

    It was a wintery Christmas morning and the snow was waving to the ground. I was in my cosy bed enjoying looking out the window watching the snow settle. I’m Bob, 80 years old with bad pains. Lying down I say to myself “Where’s my glasses? I’ve been fumbling for them forever.” I’m reading my prayer book, feeling lonely, thinking about my family far away.
    I start to edge my way out of bed. I feel very stiff in the mornings. I gently slide myself to the side of the mattress. I sit there for a minute as the room is spinning around me. I walk slowly mooching as I go to the kitchen. I pass by the full length mirror in the hall. “Oh, I look so hunched and I have grey ageing hair”. Can’t get my head around the fact that I look so old. I have porridge for my breakfast. It was lovely and warming. I put on my shirt and trousers. The buttons are very hard to do with my sore hands.
    I plod along now to the sitting room to watch mass on TV. Along the way there I spot my timid cat, Sophie, lying on the floor. She stirs as I walk past. Sophie is a black and white cat, who’s 14 years old. I turn the TV on and start watching mass.
    The song ‘live forever’ is starting now in mass. It’s a lovely tune, but a bit sad. I see a picture of my family on top of the TV. The tears roll down my cheek. I grab a tissue because my nose is running.
    The mass is nearly over. I hear a ring ring noise. “What’s that?” Then I suddenly realise it’s the phone ringing. It could be my family! I stand up quickly to get to the phone. I feel quite dizzy while moving. I step on something soft and spongy. “miaowwwwwww” I put my hand out to stop myself from falling. But it’s too late, I’m lying on the floor……..

    this is a poem i did about happiness i few years ago. Enjoy:D

    Happiness is…………………..

    Happiness is my soft dog greeting me
    Happiness is my smiley Mom chatting to me
    Happiness is a dark melty chocolate cake sitting on a plate. Mmmmm….
    Happiness is a funny episode of Emmerdale which makes me laugh
    Happiness is Granny’s old house cheerful and colourful
    Happiness is my cosy warm lie-ins
    Where
    I
    Dream………….

    It's lovely to have a thread to show collective creativity. :-)
