I WANT a present Im going to enjoy.even if it means buying it for myself. I WANT to do something on my birthday, I want to see something cool. Mostly because of the financial situation Im in at the time. that would be cool.' And not really push to go do it, or see it. Im usually the type of person who says - 'Oh. So when I heard about this show I just HAD to see it. Always been a big fan of the art of Jamie Hewlett since Tank Girl and I love the team up with Damon Albarn for Gorillaz. I bought tickets, great tickets actually to see Monkey: Journey to the west. Its almost tacked on.īut anyway, sure there are definate minuses on having a birthday on THAT day. Its a tight tight man who cant afford to spend money on a real card. and then realizing that its been written on a cheap christmas card. Which can be quite discouraging in the moments you open a card on your birthday. Yep, Im one of those unlucky December children whose birthday falls right after the birth of Christ. For me, its kind of like my birthday-eve. For everyone else its all festive, you buy gifts, spend time with family and watch awful television. (rubs belly)Īlot of people dont know this, but Christmas is a little different for me. The work bit though, after some late nights and hearty meals in a warm house just dosent sound too appealing. Im hoping that I can continue to create more for GearShift and continue to challenge myself artistically with my own projects aswell as at work. Im acually trying to be positive, alot of good things have happened. That jolly magical Christmas feeling is all but faded and you now have to remember its 09 and NOT 08. That sobering experience where you realize work is just over the horizon. For most its now the time where you wish you didnt have those extra mince pies or those couple of shots the night before. I'll be back to molest your eyes with my urban offerings soon. Leather jackets are definately back in!įor now, thats your lot. Im also currently taking part of the great event Culture Shock. I also have a new shirt inspired by my new friend Rico. Ive introduced them to my store as 'Rogues'. Ive completely remade my jeans template which Im quite proud of. There are a few new offerings made available at the block. So anyway, on to some of the new stuff Ive made.

I do still love it, which is why Im here. I still believe in my ideas and feel Im far from achieving all I can here. With GearShift, I have poured so much time and effort into it to just leave it there and let it die a death. (Your going to CHANGE the world!) When your at the top, you almost have to create new avenues to push yourself. And you have enthusiastic ideas on how you can develop and change things in SL. When your starting out as a designer, everything is new and fresh. Things can get stale and you can lose that drive and passion for your brand to succeed. I think its possible for you to just exhaust all of your ideas for where you can take things. Some of my friends have achieved so much in SL, making some serious moolah. I think as a seasoned SL designer you can feel like you have reached the limit of what you can create and achieve. Not to say I dont like it.I love my job, its just different. I have boundries I have to stick in when working with other peoples brands - and Im not always given the freedom that I would like. Its a far cry from my fulltime job as a designer. My designs are my own, I create what and when I want and Im only limited by my imagination. I definately enjoy the freedom of creativity I have with it. But I definately still have a passion for it. Thinking about it, it would be so easy to just give it all up and walk away. Commitments with partners, work - you can move on.

Its true, I used to have a lot more free time. He mentioned that we are just in different times in our lives.

Zabitan was really encouraging towards me starting this whole clothing design thing. All of the designers I knew and grew within SL are now gone. And again, I return to designing things for SL. It has been exactly a year, to the day since I last posted here.
