Well it's certainly been a pretty good birthday this year. Lots of stuff has been happening around the place, and out in space (That New Horizons space probe is finally due to fly past Pluto today, after a 9-year long journey, pretty exciting news to wake up to on my special day ) But back on earth I've finally caved in and decided to splurge my birthday money on my newest expensive addiction...
Anyway, as some of my close followers may know, I'm a real Nintendo nut, especially regarding Super Smash Bros, and I've recently decided to make it my goal to get the whole set of Nintendo's official Super Smash Bros amiibo series. It's cost me an arm and a leg over the past few days, but I've had surprisingly good luck when it came to finding (most) of the characters that they have put out so far. Finally a day where things go my way Now that my birthday bonus is spent, looks like I'll have to be getting that other jacket at a later date
Later in the day my family and I went to see Jurassic World. It was really cool, though I was just glad to do anything fun on my day off. Movies are often a good choice everyone could agree with. I still remember when I went to see Evolution for my 14th Of course, I was just as interesting in seeing Inside Out since I'm a sucker for Pixar's stuff, but with not other "big kids" in the family - Jurassic World seemed to be the more agreeable option
Anyway, I ran out of time to get my annual birthday submission here on time. Though it's not the first time I've been late. But I'm close to getting it done. No point rushing what's shaping up to be one of my personal favourite landscapes so far in the name of an unofficial deadline. So keep an eye out for that in the coming day or so

Well I Didn't Win This Time..
But a Daily deviation is a pretty solid runner up prize :trophy:
Thankyou art (https://www.deviantart.com/art) for featuring it, and for providing this string of contests with very interesting themes over the past few months. I'm not in any of the current ones, character design isn't a strong point of mine, but it'll be interesting to see who wins, and what themes might be selected for upcoming contests if any!
I've been slipping in and out of activity for some time and these contests motivating me to put stuff aside to draw something again have probably been a good influence for me. Too busy with work and other crap I'd gladly cut out of my life if I won the lottery
Son of a Beach!
After being elected as one of many fine finalists in the recent Devious Desktops: Warm Vibes competition I had my fingers crossed over the past week thinking about nothing other than what the results would be. This was the first contest I've heard about in ages I was actually interested in theme-wise and one that was also open to all members around the world so I jumped on it right away!
It paid off as I won one of the three winning positions! :excited: It's been years since I won anything here, and even those were smaller scale contests held by individual users or groups. I'm certain this is the first time I ever placed in one of the big on
Switchi'n It Up
So I've pretty much disappeared without an explanation, drip-feeding some time on here into the forums but not much else on the artistic front. Totally out of character for me whose been persistently active on here since I began. But then again out of character probably describes how I feel. Not necessarily in a "bad" way, but in a way that I feel like my priorities and personality are changing after some realizations about many things this year. In some ways it's been a good thing, I feel myself actually having a desire to start doing a little more than sit in front of a computer all day. Wanting friends, company and activity in my life more
A Sexy Birthday
Wow wow I'm 30 now :faint: I've been having mixed feelings about it for months, on one hand I feel pretty bummed out that my 20's are over forever now which seems to be the only age demographic the world still considers fun and cool. On the other hand it has given me a little kick in the bum when it comes to trying to motivate myself to actually be be more fun and cool, since I spent a lot of the past ten years tirelessly working away on my hobbies, most noticeably my art. It's paid off in many ways and kept me busy during a time I didn't really have much else going on, and I definitely want to keep at it. Yet I want to start living a little
