After a visit to the Citizen’s Advice Bureau to try and get some help for a drop in income that amounts to £81 per week, and I wasn’t offered any viable support other than to give up self-employment, give up my career, as it clearly isn’t earning enough to pay the bills, and go and find some other job.
So I set about setting up The Lincoln Simulacrum installation, and we launched with our private view glossing over Susan Jones’ article about private views… ;-) And it went really well!
It went well in that people came to see the work, enjoyed the show, and I’ve been offered a possible commission / work for next March, and most visitors really enjoyed the performances and the work projected onto the Light Space Modulator.

I also got home to find that my application to work as an illustrator or a local t-shirt shop has been accepted, and amid promoting the new graphic novel Kickstarter project, today I’ve been adapting a print to fit the brief.
I relaunched the graphic novel Kickstarter fundraising pitch to coincide with the exhibition, and I imediately received an email from a fellow Kickstarter offering some useful advice and links to make it successful, it’s already received 2 backers, and is being promoted by various comics blogs and crowdsourcing PR tweets, so I hope it breaks its target!
