*sighs* I almost wish that I hadn't started a deviantart gallery as early as I did. You certainly, not matter how smart, or talented you are, understand art at the age of 13. Most of what's in here is junk- it proves that I can hold a brush and nothing more. Not that I have any more direction or inspiration now as opposed to then, but at least I've began to try, right?

I finally decided that it was time to finally update this dilapidated journal. To cut things short: I'm currently working on an Entrances and Opening's project for school, which I have based around the work of Sargent and the theme of Secret Gardens. I'm currently reading a lot of fiction written by foreign male authors, mostly German, Czech, and Russian, translated of course, because I like it. I'm currently rather into writing long rants about Bush in my livejournal http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=esmaraldo. I'm currently working on the school newspaper, whilst trying to train Year 10s to take over from us in the summer.

I don't really use this journal. Why? Because I have a nice shiny livejournal http://www.livejournal.com/users/esmaraldo/. :) I've recently sold some art! *cheers* I didn't really make much out of it, £7, but it was my first art sale so I guess it's significant...and I've sort of been commissioned to draw stuff now. Which is cool, but it's also annoying, you want to draw what you like, when ever you feel like it. I did explain to the people that thay might not get their pictures for a while. I am, as you can see from my gallery, still, very obsessed with Harry Potter. I'm taking part in the Brushstrokes and Broomsticks Ficathon http:/
