“I didn’t know we stocked that” the Pumpkin man said to me as I handed over some coins for September’s Prospect magazine and some extra for a black coffee as well. I was on my way to Brighton by train […]
“Good show. According to the CIA she’s a corker.” Sarah sent me my instructions this morning. I was to upload an array of video files to the Wesendit site. I have exceeded the fair usage policy on my tmobile dongle […]
22nd September 2010 Here is a drawing of the hand and mask idea I had for the painting of carnival clowns. I think I may now do a separate painting of this, and let the viewer interpretate how they will! […]

So three days into the degree and I’ve got two broad projects to start of with. One is regarding professional practice – where we learn how to become a professional artist. I know I’m already a professional in a number […]
The flyer is finally done – it is full of logos but I suppose I can’t really complain when people have donated money! It also adds a certain kudos to a project to say that organisations are willing to help […]

Day twenty two. Final night at the studio It seems surreal thinking about a crowd of people basically ‘invading’ the space that has somehow became mine over the last couple of weeks. It took a while to settle in. Maybe […]

“Bond shot straight into the screaming mouth” I have sent a large email containing images of recent work to M, no reply. I also heard that my (admittedly shambolic) application for an Animate commission has failed. On top of this […]
