What I've been upto

What have I been up to... Hmmm. I started back at college about three or four weeks ago so I've had plenty of craziness with that trying to get back into the swing of things with deadlines and doing work and getting up before noon. I also used a large chunk of my loan and saving splashing out on a MacBook for college too and I'm glad I did because it is so much faster than my old laptop.

Something I'm really excited about is my friend and I are working on a short graphic story for a competition. I'm doing the artwork and he is doing the writing part of it. It's really great because we've been saying that we're going to work on something together for a while now and never really done anything. We had no idea what we were going to do so we went for coffee and batted ideas around and ended up with thumbnails for our four pages by the end of that one meeting. I am hoping to have it all finished by the end of the week, which is a tight deadline but I think I can make it.

I'm hoping if the graphic novel thing works out well that I could hopefully make some sort of career out of it but I'm pretty nervous about it because I don't really read comics and I didn't read them growing up, so I always kind of feel like a noob when it comes to that sort of thing. But I guess if we place anywhere in this competition I'll probably give me the confidence to continue.

I guess that's all I've really been up to, it seems like so much less when it's all written down.
