Ahhh, such a lovely holiday I’m enjoying, if that’s what you call spending nearly a hundred quid on new school uniform, and looking wistfully at travel to Denmark, wishing I could go somewhere, even just a weekend away somewhere, but not having any money to spare.
I’ve been taking time out to take part in social bike rides, which I hope might develop into art-related bike rides when I can think clearly again from Sept onwards.
I also received feedback for my recent unsuccessful job application, I probably need more qualifications, and I’m still gutted that I’m considered successful as an artist, even though I genuinely don’t think that not earning a regular income from this work is in any way successful. I know there are many blogs that say otherwise, but I decided to do this as my livelihood, and until I’m earning a living wage from it, I consider it a failure.
Meanwhile, I have spent a couple of weeks creating a Kickstarter pitch for my graphic novel. It has been live for a few days, and has already received 3 backers – illustration works for me somehow…
