Basic Info BioHello! My name is Lindsey and I'm an aspiring artist, writer and zoologist. I am hopelessly in love with my cockatiel, Tobias, who turned 4 around August/September 2008. I love art, writing, photography and travel, and I am painting and writing as much as I can around my uni studies. I hope to double major in English and Ancient History/Archaeology and pursue my art and writing as a full time career.
I only began taking my art seriously in late 2007, when I completed the first painting I’ve actually intended to finish. I have painted precisely another two fantasy artworks since then, largely due to studies as I completed my HSC. I do believe that there is a substantial improvement between each of these three paintings, as I have come to understand the medium, and my own limits better. I work primarily in watercolours, but I also use graphite, such as in my HSC major work, and I’ll experiment with whatever I can get my hands on.
I completed a short story for my HSC, entitled Alaena, a fantasy novella on standing up for what you believe in. Alaena will eventually find it’s way onto the internet, but for now, it’s my baby, and all mine, my precious. I’m currently working tentatively on two fantasy novels, and trying to choose between the two. I also have several other ideas, and random snippets running amok in my head.
I get a lot of random nicknames. The most recent, ‘Ponty’ – short for pontificate (talk pompously and at length) – sums me up in a nutshell! I am full of random, often irrelevant information, that takes up all the space that should be occupied by the things I need to remember. I am an idealist, and procrastinate like there are a never-ending supply of tomorrows. I love quirky things, and most of the things I like have nothing to do with each other. I have to check to tell my right from my left. I talk in circles and I think out loud.
Feel free to add me to your friends list or comment on my posts!
