well my friends, if I haven't gotten to you yet to wish you happy new year, then a very Happy New Year to you! :D
So I’ve been tagged (yeah thanks for that ReRod…I suppooose you’re forgiven, seeing as you put it so nicely…LOL), so just for a larf, here’s 16 random things about me that you may or may not already know, or frankly my dear, may not even give a damn about. :)
1. I’m an Aquarian, my symbol is the Water Carrier, my birthstone is Amethyst, and my ruling planet is Uranus, which, in my infinite maturity, always makes me howl with laughter, for ages :D :D
2. I’m a dreamer, and I love to travel. I want to see and experience as much of the world as I possibly can. Life is not a rehearsal after all, and this world is not going to stay like this forever, which I worry endlessly about.
3. I have a green belt in Taekwondo, but haven’t been to training in so long I probably couldn’t fight my way out of a paper bag now if I was under pain of death to do it.
4. I’ve just made a new year’s resolution to get back to training this year. :D
5. I wanted to be a Vet when I was little, and looove animals of every size and description. It breaks my heart to see them suffer in any way.
6. …except daddy-long-legs’s, they’re the only things on the planet that utterly terrify me. Do NOT get me started on them. (kill them, kill them aaaaall...)
7. When I’m surrounded by green I feel like I’m home.
8. When I wake up in the morning I must have coffee.
9. Name it, I’ll try anything once.
10. My mother taught me everything I know about the stars and planets, birds, and flowers, my family and all my friends are everything that matters most to me, and I would do anything for them.
11. Don’t much like TV, but loooove movies. My favourite genres are horror, sci-fi and fantasy/adventure.
12. I’m not at all squeamish, but anything to do with knee injuries or knee surgery or knees being hurt in any way completely freaks me right out. I’m not mad about eyeballs either.
13. I’m a little crazy o_O
14. You will take away my music, my books, my writing, my painting and especially my cameras over my cold dead body!
15. The thing that makes me happiest in the world is seeing other people being happy :D :D
16. I wanna be a Photographer when I grow up ;)
So there it is :) haven’t decided whether I’ll be passing this along and tagging people myself…would any of you lot like to be tagged? Weeell, I’ll have a think about it…you don’t have to play, but I may just sneak up on you. :)
Slightly different version of our last cat Tinkerbell with the addition of "random gradients". For you Photoshop fans I learnt the technique through on line teacher Unmesh Dinda. Link to this video lesson attached.
Hi, everyone!
Okayyyy ...
It's just a spontaneous photo which I took one day before I got two widsomteeth removed. (I took this on 22nd July.)
Don't worry, bros, the other two wisdomteeth will also be removed in some months. -___-
Actually, I just uploaded this because I wanted to tell / show you that I'm still alive! :D
I hope everyone of you is doing great!
i got so bored over the weekend so i started to draw...and draw...and draw...untill i covered the page

I've been tagged in what seems to be quite a charming game, that's doing the rounds, of getting to know more about one another here on Flickr.
Asked to share 16 random facts you may not know about me, here they are:
1. I grew up on a farm in South Africa where I still cherish my most fondest of memories. We had the whole barn filled with hay and everything, plus 2 dams that resided on either side of the house.
2. I won a Willards Cheese Curls painting competition when I was 12 years old and earned the nickname 'Chip' for years to follow.
3. It later became Hunter. Which is my second name. (It was going to be my first name, with Lee as my second but for some reason a cousin of mine shared Lee and so my folks thought they'd be original and chose Craig as my first name instead. I knew 10 Craigs by the time I left high school.)
4. I procrastinate.
5. I pay a lot of attention to the geometry of everything. I have, many times, walked into a room where every step I take avoids intersecting with any imaginary adjacent or parallel line that's created by the nearby objects and furniture on the floor. This especially includes floors with tiled carpeting. (don't ask)
6. I have good aim. In the all-boys high school I attended, every kid wanted to be on the shooting team, but they made tryouts for only one additional placing every 3 or so years. I made it. There were nearly 400 of us who competed for it at the time. Subsequently, it's helped in other ways though: playing pool, darts, 1st-person shooter games and winning teddy-bears at fairs. In my other life, I was a sniper. ;)
7. I have a script for the most awesome movie ever. (But it's impeded by fact no. 4)
8. I've had 3 near-death experiences. One involved a car stopping on the edge of a cliff (driver was asleep at the wheel), the second involved myself falling off a cliff (I landed on the only tree sticking out of the rock-face) and the third involved a taxi bus hitting me while crossing the road. (If you know anything about South African minibus taxis, you'll know that this one's a miracle on its own.)
9. I also have two scars. One behind my left ear at a very young age from a kid who threw a lead pipe at me in a playground and one above my left eye-brow from an attempted surfing accident. Incidentally, two of my front teeth are also false. They were severed when in junior school by a kid who tripped me while running in gym.
10. Surprisingly, I've never broken a bone in my body.
11. I was obsessed with magic as a kid. I believed my parents couldn't afford to get the magic set I wanted, so I used to collect my own tricks, as well as invent new ones. Today I can't remember a single one of them. Not even a decent card trick.
12. Lasagna and trifle are the only meals I'll still go so far as having thirds of.
13. I was once visited by a ghost. It happened about 10 years ago and tormented me for three to four nights. It tried to visit me once a few years later but I know how to drive it away now.
14. I secretly dig chick flicks.
15. I have a major fear of snakes. My first encounter was at the age of 4 when a mole-snake slid over the back of my legs in long grass while playing hide and seek. Since then I fear of finding one in my shoes.
16. I want to be known for creating at least one truly amazing thing but I fear I'm running out of time.
