3 APRIL 2006 - Updates and News

Hey guys, long time no update I know i know... im sorry, Ive been a very busy little girl... but unfortunatly, not with drawing! I have been working alot, I am now working full time which is a bit of a change. I used to work 4 days a week with thursdays off for personal time. In that time I was managing my own small business, webdesign and development. As things go, I began hating those thursdays off... I got so bored of working for other people and never having any creative time to myself, so I quit! The really lame thing is that now im in this rut of blankness, I havent done anything for myself in SO long that I really just cant find the inspiration to start anything. I hate it!

So yeah, im in a creative drought.

I also had a bit of a health scare. I wont go into details but yeah, im healthy and everything is ok :D

Ohh also, my best budinski Kathryn Whiteford has got a new home for her work! Dreams in Twilight is no longer... say hello to -www.HoneyDragon.net- so anyone whos a fan of her work, please remember to update your bookmarks :D

So YEAAAAH.. thats all from me. It might be a while till my next arty update, cross your fingers for me that its not. Hey heres an idea, send me an email... what inspires you? Help me break my creative art block! - Email Sarah -

Okiedokie guys, thanks for watching and take care :o)
MUCH LOVES

28 December 2006 - last entry for the year!

WEEEEEL christmas is over... i didn't get any holidays... its stinking hot outside (and inside) and the new year is only 3 sleeps away! Two thousand and six has been a HUGE year for me! I got married and I'm a mummy, of sorts :P I have my own place, my car runs now AND i got my learners permit! I lost a family member and 2 close friends. I met new people, got myself a career AND became a 4 eyes dork with my seexah glasses. I got sick and almost died, dealt with depression and even went to the dentist 2 times!!
Im braver, stronger, sillier, much more immature, a little wiser and much much more dorkier ^_^ All in all, it hasnt been a bad year :D

In 2007 I want to finally GET my licence, and possibly go back to school to further my studies. Jeremy and I want to go on our honeymoon maybe to japan.. maybe to Germany :D All in all.. i just wana be happy. Thats my new years resolution :)

Oh yeah, i also did a painting today :D *is proud*
Keep in mind that im from AUS and the heat over here in Western Australia has been FREEKIN HORRIBLE.. so painting in this temperature is a flippin achivement all in itself :P Hope yas like it!!

Stay safe, happy and healthy this new years!
Loves from Sah!

ZOMG! I just got home from the perth Billy Joel concert!!!!
It was freekin AWSOME!! The man is just amazing! He sang alot of songs I didnt know, but the songs were so awsome I loved every second!I kept cracking up cause the guy sitting next to me couldnt keep the beat as he was clapping.. he was all over the place, and by the end of it i think he just stopped trying and went nuts! It was great!!

Joel was just so swell, he made jokes inbetween songs, kept throwing things into the crowd and after the concert finished, he came back and sung another 5 songs for us!!

He also sang Waltzing Matilda, which owned!
ALSO he let one of his roadies sing a song.. he introduced him as "The Chainsaw" and said he was gona sing a religious song.. so i was all like "ohh yay.." and then he sang HIGHWAY TO HELL by ACDC... and i was like OMG YES! He did it SO well aswell, got a standing ovation and everything! Ahh what a champ!

But yeah, for real, the best concert ever... and to top it all off, he finished with Piano Man. What more can i say!

Great night, the best seats in the house and sweet company! Jo your a star!
Night all!

03 November 2006

As many of my close friends know, I have been helping my husband out with his last uni project, doing the fine art for the game and creating their websites for both the game and for the teams company. Its been a LONG road, and I think anyone who knows me knows how much the guys and I have put into making their final project one to remember.

So i'd like to thank those of you who have been patient with me wether it be waiting for me to be able to hang out with ya, to chat, or draw.. or anything. Ive been really distant for the past month and Ive really missed my mates!

In saying this, I am in desparate need for a break, so if you are after me for anything, bugger off for a week :P I just wana play wow, watch dvds and sleep in on sunday!

So ANYWAYS, now for art!
2 new pics, both digital art and both belong to Crystal Wars. Please note that their website is currently under construction, they only just finished their project.. so they are taking some time off to chill out :P

Das is all!
Take care!

03 OCTOBER 2006

Wow.. im actually living up to all my crazy crazy promises and UPDATING! *dances* These two paintings were created this weekend just for fun, but since I really did have alot of fun painting them, I am thinking of doing a few series to sell on ebay or something.

It actually feels really wonderful to be getting back into traditional work. Its been a very long time since I really sat down and painted something with a brush. I actually got really stressed out at first! haha, theres no undo button in the world of watercolours.. so yeah, it took some adjusting, and im still a long way from there!

Getting back into painting also feels kinda new again. Ive forgotten like.. everything I used to know. Not that I used to be awsome at it or anything, but I felt alot more confident than I do now. Its like im rediscovering my artty self again. My style has changed so much since I used to paint, so yeah, basically, im lovin it ^_^

Thank you for watching!

The Bard has a new look AGAIN!!!
This time, im gona keep this outfit for a while tho, i think :P I like it and also.. its alot of hard work changing this dam thing all the time! haha :o)

I have recently left my "online home" at www.deviantart.com which has been a really big change for me. While deviant art is an awsome place for artists all over the world, and theres no greater online art community in my opinion... I just didnt feel right there anymore. Like I had over stayed my welcome. I cant stand the whole popularity contest the top rating artists have going on! And I found myself submitting art on there just because I knew it would get me hits.. not because i was particulary proud of what I had achieved. So yeah.. I have left. I will leave my gallery up and update from time to time, but I have disabled the comments on all my work so I wont feel bad for not replying to people.

Hopefully, this will now be my home on the internet, as it should have been the whole time I was on DA! So expect to see regular updates and journal posts from me from now on! *cheer* hehe.

Okiedokie, thats all from me.
Take care everyone out there! And thanks for watching!

1 September 2006

Ok so I havent updated in like.. forever :P
Alot of things have changed in my life over the past year. I have once again lost more family members, I have become a mother to a puppy (and goooddam its hard work) and I have become a wife! I have been promoted at work (more work same pay, woo) and I live on my own with my family in our own house.

I dont get much time for art now days. Because I work 8 hours a day on computers, I dont really like being on my computer as much as I used to when I get home. I also have my wifely duties now :P haha! yeah right! *giggle* So yeah, I dont work on my computer as much as I used to.. if at all. Therefore I no longer take commissions.

I am giving serious consideration to changing careers. I have always wanted to be a teacher, and if all goes well with jeremy leaving uni at the end of this year, I might just quit and go to uni myself! Wow.. first ever (and only) in my family to graduate highschool.. and now the girls thinkin of goin to univerticty! WHAT NEXT?! But yeah for real.. I dont want to be doing what im doing for ever. The only thing stopping me at the moment is that we cant afford it, and im actually like, good at what I do. Ive never been good at what I do before. Id say im alot better then those who get degrees in tafe and stuff. So its nice doing something that i pwn at. Meh we shall see :)

Jeremy and I are saving to go to Japan for our honeymoon!
We are SO excited! I think im most excited about seeing snow, specially having a white christmas. Its going to be so magical! Im going to take a bazillion photos!

Ok, thats all from me.
Sorry it has taken me so long to update this thing. Ive really naglected the bard, and I miss her, so hopefully i wont do it again and you shall see regular updates ^_^.

Take care all!
