Forgot I had blogger :O

Ok wow! have I not updated this in AGES. To be honest i kind of forgot i had a blogger. I did warn people i was going over to tumblr but i use it SO much more than here.. Should i bother keeping this blog? Everything people need is on my tumblr, website AND facebook page. Scream if you want me to keep this blog...

Tumblr address..

I plan to still use blogger but maybe for more text reasons? Tumblr is more image based, we shall see how things go..

So what's been going on...

well...

1. Yesterday i finished my job and am really looking forward to getting back into art.
2. I've been doing lots of small works, but have recently bought some new big pieces of paper and am planning to paint on them!
3. Hopefully going to start experimenting with Gouache
4. Is having a show in Richmix at the end of the month! (I think this is the thing I'm most excited about)
5. Started a tumblr account an am not sure whether to include or swap it for my website..
and lastly 6. I plan to start producing much more commercial work in order to keep my own personal fine art alive financially and mentally.

Quite a deep entry but hey it's what's going on...

Back from Scotland and starting volunteering...

Scotland was lush, T in the park is definetley fun but perhaps not with work colleagues. Saw bits of the city as we were driven to Perth and wow edinburgh is just SO nice architecturally. If you havn't been to this city then GO!

Otherwise yes more arts based news, i am starting Stewarding tomorrow with Rowan Arts which is a charity which helps artists in Islington. Very much looking forward to working with artists and helping with this festival!
Hoping to create myself a job with them in sep and finish off the office job.

Will start drawing/posting more soon.

Cheers

No painting this week but some serious life choices decided...

Decided to do an arts job during the week so going to be dedicating this weds n thursday applying from things. Otherwise looking forward to September when I'm hopefully going to Japan. Wish i could afford a studio space but perhaps by working i will come across an arts commune and do work there?

Definitely attempting to move out next year after Japan, otherwise for now i'm just an artist at home. Will talk more in a few days, but as i just mentioned on my very old Livejournal account, i do work on computers 7 hours a day 3 days a week so my head/hands do get a bit like eurgh when i have to use one AGAIN!...

Cheers for now...

Updating website and Not believing its already june!

So yes june and didn't get into the RA Summer Exhibition this year. Ah well it doesn't really upset me only makes me want to do another show. Just talked to a lady i exhibited with in Jan at the Rag Factory and she has asked if i want to do a show together early next year. I just need a few people to have a can do attitude. Otherwise yes whilst updating my site i realised i have no pictures on my newly rebooted laptop. I go on photobucket and Facebook only to try get some photos put on my website and i can seem to copy any :'( sad face indeed.
Ah well i WILL find a way. Otherwise i just joined Tumblr and am going to make a rule to update my fb page everyday.

Cheers for now all
