Second weekend of action, planning, imagining, working and thinking takes place at Camberwell College of Art in defiance of the state’s attack on education, free thought and expression.
I can’t think of any other profession that requires quite such a wide range of abilities and skills: an artist needs more than just their talent: we need to be adept at marketing, financial management, and at least some ability […]
Finally I have taken the plunge to ‘go frameless’ and it seems to work well in my current show, ‘The Vivid Gaze’. The exhibition is actually in a bistro, not a gallery; I’ve never shown work in this type of […]
I’ll start with corrections. Apparently there is a jogging scene here, it just takes place at different hours. I have a luxury morning schedule and can go running at 9AM when most people are working, that is why I never […]
Flights to Tromso are now booked – yeah! Took a lot of searching and got an awful lot of advice to find the cheapest… but found something in the end – even though it involves a bit of a trek […]

The screen print I’m working on has taken me into a new avenue within my work. The print (which can be seen in my previous entry) is a net shape of a pyramid or prism, which If cut out and […]
Still excited! :-D Got a commission to make 8 Glass trophies for a company called The Institute of Directors. So hopefully will get a little money from that, they want them by March. Super-fast making will have to be done. […]
Cleared out the storage room but didn’t like it in the end. Art’s hard!
been postering for 3,4 & 1 spoken @ intervals: Edition 1, mainly around digbeth as thats where the “creative community” in birmingham has based itself… but have also been posting them on notice boards in universities, parks and digitally. i’ve […]
2 new artists are now working in unit 11 studios! they are jess ross and caroline mcpherson – both well known to us as they were students with us at solent. both painters – so the walls are getting painty […]
I’ve been trying classify what I am looking at in a way that might be useful for me to do something with it. This is very early days but I have come up with one category that makes sense for […]
Progress! I have begun work on the Red Kite work for the September Challenge. Eventually the piece will be a video, however I initially need to make the components to the work. The red kite is made from an existing […]
The Last Two Weeks = Crazy I feel a little out of touch with myself, having not blogged properly since Christmas, which now seem ages ago. Getting back into college was good, I started back on the 4th of January […]
I’ve just watched Chicago Tonight’s piece on “Outpost” – Lou Mallozzi’s performance work I wrote about in post 28. Judging by the TV footage, audience reactions to the work encompassed interest, surprise, embarrassment, nonchalance and in one instance, deliberate provocation […]
Spent most of today looking for jobs and ways to create some kind of income. Even resorted to selling drawings on ebay. There’s a few interesting art opportunities I in the midst of applying for. If I could get even […]
I got talking in the street to a Korean man yesterday. He was in Xiamen for a few days on a business trip. His employer, a major electronics company has put him on a year-long placement in Shanghai to learn […]
