Seems fair! seeing as I plan on blogging about everything.

LIFE UPDATE GUIS

Up to date picture for you guys.

Anyway, recently I have had a few "BIG" changes in my life, I shall list and we can go in depth accordingly.

1) Roughly two weeks ago (I believe), I was made single MUTUALLY by me and my now ex partner.

2) I'm applying for a new medical secretary job.

3) I AM going to October london comic con

4) I bought a kindle

5) In a week I will be 24.

Right lets evaluate these points:

1) I honestly felt like the relationship wasn't going to move the way I thought it would (moving in together, and being proper grown ups and all that), but he called me on a sat morning and said that he didn't see a future for us which I agreed on, and thought at least we could be friends. And he has a youtube page about his life which is - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-OnWFkh0VCv8d1e5sISebQ So feel free to check it out as he does make music also. But I do feel a bit crap as I thought it was a little insensitive about him making a video about him being single (that wasn't what upset me) it was how he said about the reasons, which in MY case wasn't the reasons why my side of the relationship had ended. And even now I will not disclose them on a public site as it is in fact NO ONES BUSINESS unless I personally tell someone. Other than that that is all she wrote on that point.

2) In my current job I feel like I am treated like a mug and run around in circles for people making me not want to help out because people do in fact HEAVILY take the piss. And if they were to ask me I'd be okay about it.

3) I shall be attending the london comic con at MCM excel blah blah blah as Disgust from inside out (suits me perfectly atm) but I shall be accompanied by two kiddies! I am actually really looking forward to this.

4) I have NO more space for my books in doors so I bought a kindle and am LOVING IT! might i add. I do actually need some book recommendations!

5) I will be turning 24 of the 14th of September. I am not looking forward to this because it means people feel like they need to buy me a gift (by people i mean family) and I FEEL god awful when they do. Actually depresses me. I mean, its mainly my parents I feel bad for as I know they work hard to pay everything blah blah blah and I dont want them to use their money on me. My brothers on the other hand I think should throw beautiful gifts at me. HAHA!

Any this is the Rosie update, I hope you enjoyed and I promise I WILL update this blog more. FO SHO.

The Ocean at the End of the Lane REVIEW

PLEASE NOTE MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS

So, this week I read this book (ON MY NEW KINDLE MIGHT I ADD), and honestly I didn't know where Neil was going this with at first.

As most people know I am a HUGE fan of Neil Gaiman, so to read this book and think that you know either its gonna be good or he's lost his touch.... but I'm happy to say after my doubt I did enjoy this book thoroughly.


Based on a man who returns to a house where he visited as a child, he sits and remembers a LOT of events that have happened which he forgets as he grows older and lives his life.

The story is so mystical with all the of the magic and fantasy goodies thrown in to make a mild horror based scene with action packed story telling at its best.


REASONS WHY TO BUY IT: because it's pretty awesome and I could say adding the time I read it in I read it in half a day. :)



NEXT BOOK I SHALL BE READING: Under different star - Amy A. Bartol

Future design plans

So As the title suggests......

I've decided to work on my future designing stuff for people! 


Currently my "thing" is portraits (as always!), but I'll be looking into some art trades and I do need MODELS for these portraits I am planning on mastering this!

(Here are my latest beauties)

The top one is a lady I have on my instagram (who gave me permission to draw her!) called @cazziecake, she's pretty cool and is a cosplayer!

The second is my bae. One of my besties called Amie (she actually has an account on here which I shall mention in a future post!) her instagram is @amizzled she is a cosplayer, wig guru, and queen of all things kawaii.

Finally the bottom is an art trade I did with a girl on instagram whose page is @scribbleblog, she is an AMAZING artist, such a beautiful art style and SUCH clean lines. She uses colour like a pro.

So the relevance of this post is to let you know my creative plans! (I might even post about the business and admin side of my life for people who are doing the course I am going!).

On the note of my business and admin course I am doing, I've taken it upon myself to do more work than needed but if it gets me extra points I have no regret haha! In this course if you have extra marks it goes towards the next level (which for me is managerial).

I'm also going to be reviving my WIX blog for purely art purposes I need to get myself out there as I'm still not that out there as I'd like to be! I need to become a techno nerd fo sho.

I hope everyone is well! Let me know of your upcoming plans!

Review: Avengers: Age of Ultron

So today, it was my partners birthday (and his twins!) and we went to see the newest Avenger's film.

WARNING SPOILERS.

In all fairness I was pretty disappointed at the beginning, it just seemed to drag, I mean it was great meeting two new people with potential; but I felt the only time the movie started to pick up was when the Avenger team was at the party.

Overall I love the humour it entails, and some of the 'soppy' scenes but mainly I loved how the characters all intermingle.


Most people know of my love for the Hulk, and Mark Ruffalo! Even from the first films the Hulk has always been my favourite hero/avenger. I am known to have a bad temper sometimes and this is why people often say things like " Rosie SMASH Rosie BASH!" But things about the Hulk hit very close to home. I've always felt like I was some kind of monster doomed to walk the Earth alone, but lucky; I know I'm not a monster haha, but it's just the very idea in which I felt connected to his character. 

As for the other characters:

Hawkeye - He really surprised me in the film with his beautiful family and the way he managed to keep them secret and safe for so long. Also the wittiness from his character is not always seen by everyone else. I feel like a lot of people find him, useless and boring but in this film he really proved his worth.

Quick Silver - I am disappointed how they have in the filming world of Marvel duplicated a character unnecessarily. Everyone know of the Quick Silver in the X-men film, but to make another seemed pretty pointless and pretty irrational. Otherwise I quite like this character in this film (although I by miles prefer the X-men quick silver), feel like because he was technically two of one whole that he was connected to someone with (his sister) and made him as a lovely older brother (which again I hit home with, with my brothers) so even though he's not my favourite Quick Silver but I still have a soft spot for him.

Black Widow- She's a pretty cool character. I've enjoyed seeing her back story a bit more, and it makes me what to read more into it. (I love back stories it is my weakness in a way). But I also share he love for the Hulk.


Captain America- I love how old fashioned he is, for example the whole joke in the film to him was about Tony Stark swearing and his response of "Langauge" but it was interesting to see how his character developed and you would feel how lost his character gets when most vulnerable.


Iron Man- As always he is cocky and full of himself but still as comical as every. His character never really changes as he is consumed by greed to create more and more.


Thor- I love how Thor is old school with history and the Gods, he follows the old ways as it were and keeps on the best path possible.


Pretty much my view on this film :)

Preferences with tradition and Digital Art

In my daily life, I'm drawn to certain songs, like most people, but in my mind I see images I want to create. This piece is a perfect example.

I don't expect a lot of people to understand why I draw because there is no real reason behind it... I once dreamed of being an Illustrator; but like most in life my dreams were shattered when people told me what I could and couldn't do limiting me. I know what I can do (sometimes really well) and I definitely know what I can't do or what my comfort zones are. 

I am ABSOLUTELY crap at digital work, and it does upset me sometimes but I feel like when I am ready I will learn how to use it, but for now tradition is what I am really happy with using. It's not ALL digital I don't get on with. Remember MS paint from when they started to bring out better desktop computers? Yeah I was pretty good with a mouse! haha (I'm sure I'll show you all at some point!). 

I have an art journal where I find some of the most personal (to me) quotes and I have a book that is sort of coming along! Which again I shall post within time. 

If you wish to see more I'll add the link to my tumblr which I shall be adding to in the near future!
