I’ve spent the last couple of weeks or so, researching into possible future exchanges. The starting point? – highlighting cities that are easy to get to by the budget airlines. Working on the assumption that there will be no funding […]

I had a nostalgic and productive research trip to Edinburgh last week, and came back with a full sketchbook, very sore feet and several hundred digital photographs. As usual, several of the photographs are out of focus or impaired by […]

I leave for London on Friday. I am so excited, but at the same time I feel in trepidation, I think I’m about to leave my comfort zone – not that my comfort zone is very big, mind. I am […]

In order to conquer the world you need some basics utensils. Like a basket. I am making my figure into a basket. I will not indulge in Basket Case jokes.
