Wanna pimp this contest? Great, Note ~tRiBaLmArKiNgS and he'll send ya the blog text including links so ya can post a journal/blog exactly like this one (Copy/paste this and the links won't work) Or alternatively just post a link to this blog.
This is probably the 1st proper journal entry I've made in a year or more.
I'd like to start by congratulating DeviantART and $spyed on making the cover of Entreprenuer.
Secondly, some big personal news...... I'm gonna be a daddy again! Bambino number 2 is on the way. My daughter (coming 3 next month) will finally have a wee bro or sis to play & fight with
So anyways, I'm back to being fully active on DeviantART and have updated my logo/avatar & gallery/page a bit. I deleted a hell of alot of deviations I uploaded when I first joined the site amongst which were about 200 Colorflow devs, which i rolled into one dev and re-uploaded I lost alot of fav's but at least they're all in the one place now
I'll be continuing to update/re-vamp some of my older stamps etc over the next few weeks. I also take stamp requests and the occassional avatar if anyone is interested.

I was just dying to use this new journal skin by the great ^Ikue. Get the skin here (and its easy install!) - Clean Cut
Web Design
So anyway... I'm heading towards web design at the minute, and i'm really enjoying it. I'm only learning (self-taught) and getting loads of help/guidance/critiques from all the wonderful people here on dA and on designerscouch.org
So a big thank you to anyone & everyone that has helped me in some way. I also get all my inspiration & ideas from the talented artists on deviantART also, so people may have helped me without even realising!
So you've probably noticed I'm trying my hand at web design. I've had no training,tutoring or experience in the field so I'm relying on my eyes and other designers designs to give me inspiration & direction. Also some very kind deviants such as ~Yukimasi, ~BioSss & ~JoeyS have been helping me out with critiques & comments. Thanks guys!
Also #designerscouch is now a supergroup if ya didn't already know, so If your a designer of some type get on over there and join up!
Here I want to feature some of my friends and a few pieces of their work. I have came across these people whilst browsing deviantART and their work has stood out and caught my eye. All very talented people, you should check them out
First my friend *Alexander-GG who is agreat designer and has recently won a years subscription for being a great designer & a pleasant and helpful deviant

Yesterday i joined this really cool site called Lockerz. It's an invitation only site, ya have to be invited to join (joining is free) & ya can earn some really sweet stuff on it, like ipods and loads of other stuff simply by earning points. Points are earned by logging on and answering questions of the day, playing games and listening to music etc. The site hasn't fully launched yet but you can get in on the action early and start earning points! I was invited by ~cjborodin and now I can invite people too. If your interested note me or comment with your email address and I'll get an invite sent your way!

I have quite a bit of free time on my hands these days, and would love to spend some of this time doing something here on dA. I wanna help out in some way... so if anyone knows of a club or group looking staff or someone just to help out with a few things - It would be great if ya could let me know, or inform the owner/admin if you know them personally that I'm available and willing

For all the people that have asked me how to make Colorflow icons and for help - I've finally decided to have a go at makin my very 1st tutorial - on them.
Hopefully It will be easy to follow and understand - Should be available shortly
I'm currently in the progress of updating my profile page and deviations.
It's a long and tiring process lol (You have to delete every deviation individually!)
Some of you may have noticed I changed my avatar and "logo" or signature or whatever again, so I'm updating all my preview images and also deleting all the crap I uploaded when I first joined (the virtual tuning etc).
I'm also going to make new gallery folder icons, and when they're done I'll upload them so anyone else who likes them can use them too
Here they are:
It could be a few days before I'm done because I get bored easily and only do a bit at a time hehe
I've just started playing Quake Live. If anyone wants to add me my nametag is tRiBaLmArKiNgS
Aquave folders
These are new folders I'm going to be doing in the future. If anyone has any requests please don't hesitate to comment/note me or add me to instant messaging/e-mail (Contact details on my page). Hope ya's like! Some examples below
Colourflow
As many of you know I've been doing Colourflow icons for a couple of months now and have currently done around 300, I'm still going to be doing these from time to time so again if anyone has any requests let me know. Some examples below
