My online presence has completely nosedived.

These past few months have just been a blur of exams, coursework and University prep.

I guess I'm only just coming to realise just how important this year is gonna be in terms of my education and I really don't wanna mess it up, and if that means spending less time on the internet, then so be it. I just don't wanna look back in a few years time and kick myself for not trying my hardest.

I'll be honest; I haven't really given myself much time to explore anything creative, like I promised myself I would. I mean, I have been taking pictures, just not very extensively and recent exploits photography-wise are generally more personal and I just wouldn't feel right posting them here. Essentially, not much has changed in terms of being creative since my last post.

Saying that though, during a revision break yesterday, I decided to ease myself back into photography - and what better way then to launch myself into a Sherlock themed shoot? :D [basically my current obsession :P] I wasn't even planning to submit anything, but since I spent so long on them and I've neglected dA so, I thought it'd be the least I could do.

I'm not promising anything, but I really do wanna get back into being creative [however long that will take... (':]

So, if by some miracle you're still reading this; then I wanna thank you for sticking with me, and I hope you're all doing well. Hopefully you'll see some new stuff soon! (:

Hey, I'm sorry for letting myself neglect dA again >.<;


I've been terrible at the whole "getting more creative again" but now my exams are over and I still have a little over a week left of study leave I've decided to kick myself back into some form of creative spur.

The other day I was looking through my GCSE art books and I really had forgotten how much time and effort I poured into those things. Although I would constantly complain about those days I simultaneously kinda loved it and now I kinda miss it. My life lacks so much creativity nowadays. I mean - I tried getting back in to drawing but nothing went right; I guess it's just been too long.

I know that I've kinda broken my promise of submitting something once a month but I have been experimenting with photography. I just never felt they were good enough to post on here and were more for personal gain.

Oh well, I swear I'm gonna try and spend more time on this website. It's such a lovely community and I'm so grateful for the amazing people I've met on here who still continue to inspire me. You give me motivation to carry on. So I just want to take this time to thank all you brilliant people ♥

#SINGItForJapan

3 min read
Dear MCRMY,

It's time to call the MCRMY to arms. I mentioned last post that we would need your help. Now is the time. We've been working on an idea which will hopefully help raise money for the recovery effort in Japan. We would like you to know the idea was inspired by you, the fans.

After the news of the earthquake and tsunami spread, I did what most people did. I stopped and stared at the TV. I sat at the computer, constantly refreshing CNN in hopes of some good news. And I went to Twitter to see what people were saying. I noticed a hash-tag, "#SINGItForJapan," where you kids were writing messages of hope, saying prayers and s
ending your condolences and well wishes to survivors. It moved me in a profound way.

A week later, after talking with the guys about what we could do, here we are. I've been working backstage and on planes to put together a special version of SING. Our plan is to release it with all proceeds going to Red Cross Japan . We also feel we need a video to share on Facebook and YouTube, so this is where you come in.

We'd like to send messages of hope to Japan from people all over the world. We're asking for you to send video, pictures, drawings or written messages to the people of Japan. Go wherever your creativity and heart takes you. It could be as simple as you holding up a sign with "#SINGItForJapan " written on it, or anything else you can dream up. From what we've seen on tour, we know you guys can dream bigger than we ever could.

Don't be afraid to get your families involved. If you are inspired to do something alone, that's great too. But we encourage you to get a big group of people from your community together. We want Japan to know just how many people are behind them. The one request we have is for you to somehow include where you're from in your video, photo, or drawing. Using YouTube, Flickr, Twitpic, etc, upload your contribution. Remember to include the tag #SINGItForJapan. Then, send your submissions to us by filling out the form below. Please have your submissions in by Wednesday, March 30 and 5pm PST.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to include everybody, but know that we will see everything, and your submission is meaningful and appreciated.

Thank you all for your help in this.

Speak soon.

Ray

After the lovely suggestion from Khadrimx I have submitted my tribute to Japan to this project.

Please show your support for a great cause by such an amazingly passionate and considerate band.
These guys are my heroes ♥

I'd been completely neglecting any artistic side of myself for the past month or so due to exams. I just never knew it'd make me feel so shit. I even stopped checking dA & ended up piled with 250+ messages :/
These past few days I've started taking photos again & I'm so much more happy already.

Been experimenting with PS a lot - mainly mixing new shots with some old shots that I haven't really done anything with.

So hopefully you guys can check out any new stuff hopefully coming your way soon!

Wow, it feels so weird to know I've been on here for 4 years now.

I just want to take this time to thank everyone for all the love & support these past few years (: You guys are all awesome :tighthug: It's one of the reasons I love this community so much & you've made me feel like my art actually means something. So thank you♥

I do apologise for neglecting dA for a while now, I guess it just doesn't hold the same significance for me anymore ): I feel like my creativeness has been drained ever since I stopped taking art.

Having said that, with the recent snow I have felt a bit more inspired to take some snow photos which I'll be using as Christmas cards this year :3 I think I'll post up a few on here.

Here's hoping 2011 will bring more artisticness~
