BASIC CATCHUP KIDS

So kids i have decided to give a brief summary of what i have done over the past month and a half, i have been keeping a journal of reflection, but sadly there is a monster that lives in my flat and eats all my important things, though sometimes he feels guilty and replaces them, so there is hope it may still reappear. i have provided an illustration below, if anyone sees him you MUST burn him, check his grifting sack though, its contents shall be your reward...


for the infant weeks of easter my idea for my final project was rather long, convoluted and conceptual, and I its supposed creator was having difficulty vocalizing what i was actually attempting to communicate.

I am sure that such situations are rife within this city, but i would prefer to focus on the positive aspects i got from these women, they were confident, surprisingly content and most of all relished the power they held over the punters...
