Deviation Actions
Nearly finished my big project, just taking a break before i go into what's hopefully the last big stint, and then it's done, with luck i'll be uploading the final version tomorrow!
My homepage is at www.maxinegreen.co.uk - go visit!
Also if you are buying prints, it would be really appreciated if you sent me a note to say so, as i'd love to know where they're going - deviantart doesn't tell me anything about who's buying them, just when they get sold! (it would be fantastic if i could tell people i was selling work all over the world!)
thanks to everyone who has bought anything so far, and all the lovely people supporting me by leaving comments
lots of love,

The Life of a Starving Artist
I have often been told by family and friends that I'm 'contrary' and I can't disagree. I just seem to end up doing things backwards, whether I intend to or not. For example starting a snowboarding season with a knee injury and coming out of it physically in better shape than I started. (Perhaps not mentally, but this was nothing to do with the snowboarding) And I have realised lately that I have been taking precisely the backwards approach to careers, as well.
It would have been far more sensible if I'd gone and got myself a day job as a programmer or web developer or somesuch thing that pays, and kept the art as a hobby, but no, I had to ma
Another Year, Another Journal!
Wow, it's hard to believe that it's over a year since I last updated my DA journal!
It's been an eventful twelve months. I've gone from living in the balmy embrace of the Mediterranean to the grey and rainy streets of London, where I resided for precisely a year and a day, to the gloriously sub-zero temperatures of Canada's winter months, where I'm living in a hotel and alternating between painting and drawing and learning to snowboard. From +40° to -40°C in what feels like no time at all.
In the past year I have:
-been homeless and then homed, and then voluntarily homeless again,
-been jobless, then employed, then jobless agai
Another Move
Yes, that's right folks, I only manage to update my journal once every few months, and it takes something pretty big, these days.
On tuesday i am off to London to seek my fortune, taking a suitcase, my savings, and an optimistic outlook with me, to stay until I have made it as an artist or come up with something else I want to do more, or until I decide I hate it/can't afford it/could have more fun elsewhere. It's a big leap, and I will be on my own for the first time really, in terms of housing and finance. I have always paid or myself, but never without a safety net behind me. About time I proved that I can stand on my own two feet.

Aftermath
Wow. What a couple of months!
The move went pretty much swimmingly, although getting used to the new environment has been a little tougher than I expected, and I can warn you now that things will be unsettled for the foreseeable future - there are more big upheavals coming after christmas. (No, I'm not pregnant, in case anyone asks, but as for exactly what *is* going on, I will go into more detail as and when necessary.)
I'm finally almost finished unpacking, and have been receiving new work since I got here. I am also now teaching a life drawing class at the local education centre, which was a bit of a surprise jump for me - It was rather
