No in-person lectures? Over my dead body.

 

I've been quite selfishly ignoring all the changes happening with the merger. Not gonna lie, I've been pettily thinking it doesn't affect me, since I'll be out soon.

Well, it does. 

I care about the learning experience of all the students that'll study at Adelaide University after me. And I know University life helped me get back on my feet because I was rocking up, showing up, seeing human faces. I've also deep down wanted to make even a tiny difference before I graduate. I also want to have pride in the school I'm going get my first ever and probably only degree from.Yes, I never  graduated from Calfarts. I don't know if I ever wrote that here, but I didn't.
So, please.  If this comic resonates with you even a little bitconsider signing this petition here. 
Before its too late.

LoopdeLoop - Home

Don't have much time these days, but I made a thing! Based on a true story of how I attached some stuffed toys to an unused embroidery hoop with some yarn. It has swiftly become my daughter's fave toy so far. Calling it done as I have a bub to tend to...and not to mention a uni degree to finish...

always take pride in the DIY

Just got back from an overnight stay at Monarto Safari park. Very proud I was brave enough to draw the majority of the animals I saw, instead of seizing up and telling myself my art is 'no good' yadda yadda. I chose to make art.

On another note, some people are wondering how I made my portfolio website, but I can tell you but you ain't gonna like the harsh truth. If you are the sort that prefers to use site builders, you won't really understand my interest in coding.

I whinge here now because someone asked me, and I was considering making a tutorial for how I made my site. I said; I love programming and thus, have worked hard to learn the skill, but could write up a tut to help demystify some of it. Then they messaged again saying oops cool, but they aren't interested in learning (programming).

Um........

Unfortunately but....if you aren't interested in programming, you can not make that custom Homestuck wannabee-webcomic-whatever site. 

You realise web development is a skill?
Not a waste of time, or something beneath you?

Unless you want to PAY ME to design ya' a website, for actual money, then no, I'm not spilling my guts on a tutorial that will go unappreciated. If you're an artist and actually likes my style and would pay a tiny bit then yeah, I'll consider, but for people that don't seem to understand how coding is a skill, and that you don't conjure cool designs out of thin air, I don't care.

Anyways, vent over. I'll leave you with piles of zoo drawings for now.
