Description
My 2014 in art!
2014 was a good, but tough year for me. I achieved a lot, but it was hard won. Work wise I am really proud I managed to make a living from my art, I traveled round the world, exhibited at conventions, met interesting people, and continued to draw from my heart.
However mental health issues have made it a rough ride.
I've battled some dark things, and done well just to function basically on some days, let alone be productive.
Mental illness has stolen some of this year from me. It's the reason I've been quiet online, the reason there has been less art from me, the reason I haven't replied to messages. I'm really sorry for that, and I hope you understand. I've now got much better at recognising and managing it, so I'm very hopeful for 2015, where I have some exciting things I want to achieve, but I have to look after myself first and foremost.
I'd like to open up and talk more about these things, as I know a lot of other people struggle with similar issues. It's finding the right words... (which is why I draw, hah XD)
But it's also why your support means so much to me. Why your comments make me smile and touch my heart so deeply. While it's hard, it makes me appreciate the good things in this world, and the blessings I have, and it makes me feel connected and empathetic to all the other people just struggling to be human.
It's tradition to do a little game with my yearbook soooo.....
It's all random act of kindness you can do to make someone else smile this year
Choose your birth month: 
For everyone: when you hear the negative, self doubting voices in your head - Don't listen to them. You are just as deserving of your kindness as everyone else
I know not everyone will be able to do their assigned month, so you can choose another if your month doesn't suit you
Peace, love and random acts of kindness for you all,
~Blue x

Aww I hope you're feeling better soon. 
I didn't know those prints CelticWarriorMoon and I bought from you at MCM Dublin in April were new when we bought them! 
My birth month is July, so I have to email an old teacher who made a difference in my life.

Hope you can find your old teachers email, you could always find the schools and they can pass it on

No problem, dear.
I am still enjoying them, thank you. 
I'll try and find a way to send a message to the teacher, even if it's not an email.
Hopefully I'll see you before next year - if you're going to be at MCM Belfast or Dublin, I'll see you then.
