So as 2011 comes to an end I thought I would do a summary of what has happened this year.
This year started off with taking part in the "Show me your Munny" show hosted by Toitoy down in Cape Town, I did not attend as I had wanted to, but it went well, the custom I did is still available for purchase.
After that I had a really slow month or two, and after some design work for A Sitting Duck and having a chat to David I decided to try and see if Vinyl Destination would be willing to sell my customs and other art work from their on-line store, and this went very well, sold a bunch of the customs I had put up and found out I had a collector of my work, this was wicked awesome.
Then some sad business had to be dealt with in the form of my former car Nelly, she was falling apart and I was unable to get her repaired as I was broke at the time, bleh. So I landed up selling her and feeling bad about doing so. In the end I used some of the money I got from her to buy a new PC seeing as the one I was using was really getting old and struggling to keep up with the work load I was putting on her. The new pc rocks! only problem I had is that now that I had a PC that could play some games I got really distracted by it.
Then the came the time for me to decide what must be done seeing as I was still unemployed, I did a odd of demolishing a building(that I never got the money for...), and then came the really sad point where I realised I had to move away from my home in Bloemfontein to a little place called Hell or as the locals call it Queenstown.
In the first month of being here I got a job (not something I would have chosen, but apparently must be done)
and I also headed up to Johannesburg for Street Cred 2011 along with Vinyl Destination and Kronk, this has to be the highlight of the year for me, meeting up with everyone I have been interacting with on-line for years, was also great for meeting up with some new people and doing some networking. Got some wicked toys, art prints and Tees from Kronk.
A couple of weeks after this I went and rolled a car, was not fun at all... I also was not speeding so not sure what happened just rolled and flipped, not wanting to do that ever again.
Got a very fun Commission from one of my Twitter followers and had some fun working on it.
Also decided to get hold of the guys at Toy2R and see if we could do some work together... keep an eye out in 2012 *wink*.
SO that was my 2011 in a nutshell... 2012 will bring some new challenges and experiences and I am rather looking forward to a year that I will be pushing myself in my art and toy design.
See you all there.
