I was eating a cheese sandwich yesterday and thoroughly enjoying it, when I began to chew on something quite hard and well..bony.  Now about a year ago I ate a pizza and spat out what looked like a small piece of bone which put me off pizzas for at least a few months after, so I was on high alert and immediately spat out whatever it was rolling around my mouth - it looked like a small piece of bone!  I cannot stress how fast I dived to the bathroom. I started retching when my tongue happened upon a space where part of my tooth used to be...I'd broken my bloody tooth on a CHEESE SANDWICH!!

To be fair, this tooth was filled when I was a child and was about 95% filling so it was due for expiry, but of course I'm now left with half a tooth in the back of my mouth and I will be making an appointment with my dentist tomorrow.  I cannot wait to see the look on his face:

'Where you in a fight?'
Me: 'nope'
'fall over, get hit with a iron bar?'
Me: 'nope'
'How did it happen then?'
'It was destroyed by a crusty farmhouse loaf.'
Dentist nods sagely. 'If it wasn't for farmhouse loaves I would have retired long ago.'

I wouldn't mind so much, but my dentist was only telling me about a month ago that my teeth were in great condition.  Someone is going to be red in the face when I get my appointment (it will probably be me as he starts the drill).


***I have a January sale going on my ACEO's, which are starting at 99p each.  So if you want to take a look at what's available, check out my ebay:  myworld.ebay.co.uk/sanglebo/ ***

Well, Christmas and New Year are done and dusted for another year.  Did everyone have a nice holiday or was it one you'd rather forget?   Mine was pretty busy but I got to have a laugh with the relatives and Santa brought me everything on the list I sent to him because I was nice in 2010 (at least thats what he thinks )   

The Twilight painting is done and I'll upload that in a mo.  I'm afraid I couldn't add the little things discussed in the last journal but that's because Edward's bloody face was a nightmare to do and took ages....every other character was painted swift enough.  The recipient liked it lots so I guess that is what counts in the end.

Also, a big shout out to the lovely person who gifted a subscription.  That was a wonderful suprise and I thank you   Please send me a note so I can thank you personally.  

As for 2011, I only have short term goals and a lot of them involve painting.

I'm liking Etsy so far.  It's pretty easy to use and everyone seems to be very friendly on there.

This is just a quick note to say that some of my older paintings will be uploaded there for sale if anyone wants to take a look, including Carry Harry, Danse Macabre and Snape as the Mona Lisa XD :

Other than that, all has been quiet with me.  The flights for Comic-Con are sorted and I'm getting pretty excited about that.  Not long now and I'll be wearing SPF 400 to stop me from turning to dust as soon as the sun hits me.

S'pose I'd better get rid of the April Fools Journal...Anyone who didn't suffer the sparkle humiliation on the 1st might read it and think me MAD.  

Anyhoo.  I've been bunged up for the last couple of weeks.  Trying to decide whether this is due to a random virus or maybe I've developed a touch of Hayfever.  Either way, it's a pain in the arse.

I've decided that Ebay is just ridiculous for fees now, so I've decided to try out Etsy.  Fairly new to this site, but apparently it's quite popular and all very artsy, which I love.  Best thing is that the fees seem to be alright.

Is anyone else on Etsy and if so, what do you think of it?  

I've listed a few items on there already if you want to have a look: www.etsy.com/shop/SullenSkrewt

I was hoping to do some prints, but I'll be honest, it's been an absolute bind trying to find decent print paper that will give good colour and not cost the earth.  I may have to go to a professional printers and see exactly what they charge and whether it'd be worth it.  

Well, that's what's happening with me at the moment.  Apart from waiting for ANOES to come out and see what that's like, there's just been a bit of painting, lot's of tissues and pissing about with my printer   

Hope everyone's well
