Ok, so I'm not sure how many people will even see this, but after almost 2 years without updating anything at all I've decided to put some of my recent work up.

In the past 2 years my inspirations, goals, technique and style have changed drastically and I'm currently studying Graphic design, Illustration and Digital Media at University. I've also started to work almost solely with Digital programmes.

So yeah, I'll hopefully be much more active for the foreseeable future :)

This is my first journal entry in around 7 months. I figured there was no point in making a new journal entry while I wasn't putting up any new art.
I still don't have a scanner, and I've had no cash since I left college 4 months ago to buy a new one, but hopefully sometime soon I'll be able to find one and upload a plethora of new art.
Anyway, I just thought I'd let any watchers I still have out there know I'm still alive, and still actively drawing etc. I should have some new stuff uploaded very soon!

Just noticed I've hit 8000views :o Thanks everybody :)

Sorry I haven't uploaded much recently, college is hectic and life is complicated. I'm finishing college in about 2 months and currently working on my final major project, so I should be able to upload a ton of tattoo-related work from my final project.

Hope Everyone's well (if anyone's actually still out there watching me :P )

Quick Edit: I just realised I never uploaded pic's of my half sleeve! They're up on my FB, but Ill try upload some pic's over the Easter holidays.

Yeah, I finally gave in to people telling me to do it, so if anyone here wants to add me im logged under 'James Haley' - as an added bonus, my profile pic is a pic of my new Tattoo :)

my tattoo is healing up pretty nicely, though as its my first one there have been some bumps in the road. Should be ok to upload a pic of it on here in about a week :P

Oh, and my Kitten, Phoebe, was spayed today, so shes now sat outside my room feeling sorry for herself. the freakin' vets decided to shave half of her leg too >.> bastards...

Anyway, yeah, add me on FB D: i feel alone. /desperate.

EDIT 2!!! Ok, Paul (the guy who did my tattoo last saturday) put up the photo taken just after on FaceBook, its here if anyone wants to see :D
I'll still upload my own pic first chance i get!
www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbi…

EDIT: OK! today was my 18th, and I got my Geisha pin-up done! its fucking awesome but im not gonna upload a pic until its healed a bit and the colours have popped. Getting it was a pretty intense experience, almost 5 hours straight on my forearm, but it was definitely worth it, looks amazing!

The tattoo stole most of the day, but other then that, I just chilled out with my girlfriend (went out for a meal with friends last night, and going with family next weekend).
My main present was the tattoo (cost about £300 overall) but the rest of my family contributed some cash to go towards a car later on in the year when I've got my license :)

Its been an awesome day, I'll upload a pic of the tattoo when its healed up a bit :)
Hope everyones well! :)

Ok, so I haven't really been too active over the last 3 or 4 months, hopefully that will change soon as I'm finally starting to get to grips with my second year of college, the work load is pretty insane and most of the work is artist samples and inspired work etc. I don't really like uploading stuff based on existing work (though I'm gonna break this trend and upload an Obama-style campaign poster i made for graphics class, just because i can).
Hopefully this weekend i can add the finishing touches to a few last pieces involving Japanese designs (I'm sure I've mentioned them before, but i had a few changes of plan and I'm only just finished them off now) and upload them, including an awesome snake piece that i started about 2 months ago now :P

Anyway, I'll be turning 18 next friday :o and the day after i start my sleeve :dance: so as soon as its healed etc. I'll upload a new ID to show it off ;)

So yeah, hope everyones doing good, as i said i should be more active over the next few weeks ;)
Oh, and I've just about hit 7000 views, i feel special :aww:
