My God, it's been almost a year now since I updated my journal. Well the truth is, I haven't been very active (or active at all for that matter) on deviantart since the start of Summer last year. I'm not thinking of renewing my subscription, which doesn't seem to work anyway, and if you'd like to keep updated or see what I'm doing/working on then drop by my blog: Queen's Gunpowder [link] which I'm constantly updating. In fact, that's my new portfolio site as well, or call it my sketchbook.

For those who are interested (if any) lol I'm currently on a gap year. Spent the last couple of months finding work here in London, but not been too lucky with the current credit crunch. However, I've managed to raise enough money to fund my travels, which will consist of Central America, namely Costa Rica and Nicaragua where I'll be working on community and environmental projects, with an organisation, in the more indigenous parts. That will be followed by a 280km trek which will end by the Osa Peninsula. This will all last roughly 3 months. After that i will travel to Mal Pais where I'll spend my last week in central America in a hammock on the beautiful beach sketching in my notebook and smoking my cigar. After that I come back to the miserable England and try to find work again to fund another planned trip to Borneo, Malaysia in August. Then I finally start university in September, where I'll be studying Architecture at UCL and so I commence my journey into the future...

If anyone (that I knew closely) would like to keep in touch, you can find me on fb under: Dean Hedman (there should hopefully only be one).

Good luck, and farewell.
