The only reason I am doing Multimedia Design is to refine my skills as a digital artist. I know I am “a bit of alright” at what I do, but the last few months I have felt like a fraud in my degree. I can’t code. 3D modeling bores me to tears. And the last computer game I played was ‘Leisuresuit Larry’ in year five!
The only thing keeping me sane at Uni is my fantastic Illustration elective. It is run by a charismatic (and brutally honest) artist, Regi. Her wealth of knowledge about design, art and life is phenomenal. While everyone sneaks out of class early I have had the honor to stay back and get to know her over the semester.
I have put my heart and soul into this class, and have the results to prove it. Of the twenty assignments we have completed this semester I have achieved a HD for everything. Regi is so supportive of me, and honestly believes in my skill as an artist, (I have to admit it is nice to have the approval of someone you admire).
Over the holidays Regi invited me to the gallery opening of her next exhibition. In the coming semester she is going to help me create an Illustration based portfolio, and give me a list of contacts to break into the industry.
Illustration is my dream and soon it will be my reality.

LLLLLLLEEEEEEESBIAN.
oh my GOODNESS!! i only just saw your comment in my thing. sorry. i didn't think any one could comment without being like..i dont know..a name on..the sidebar thing..like tim is for yours. how odd. thanks for the input there. yes the cat is truly in a league of its own.
be prepared to get commented now also, vanessa. now that i know i can..they'll come thick and fast. how cool.
SO your dream is becoming reality eh?? THAT...is truly fabulous. you have direction, you know what you want, its a rare thing.
its also lucky that you're good at what you want to do. so many people seem to want to do something passionately..but they suck (thinking of many Australian Idol contestants at this point)....
