How do I manage to get myself into these situations? Not that I mind. In fact, this job has been quite cool to read what everyone does. Today I am putting up the exhibition, but yesterday I was going through everyone's biographies and putting together the artist directory. I purchased the display book online and… Continue reading Artist Directory…

Imago Mundi
I have been asked to take part in the Welsh Collection... Okay, maybe I sent an enquiring email and then another and practically bugged the organiser to let me in. But the result is that I'm in!

A Gift
It's not usual to get given anything for free... Not in modern times, anyway, but yesterday it happened. My Mum smokes. I wish she didn't but she does. I have managed to get her to buy her tobacco from a specialised store. She tried it and loved the flavour. Basically, is is tobacco without any… Continue reading A Gift

If I want to exhibit in a large gallery then I need to either get all my work professionally framed (it is usually asked by the gallery) or I have to exhibit a… Continue reading WIP
Competitions vs publishing
There has to be a balance. I can't always write small things for competitions but at the same time I can't always be working on longer pieces. How many competitions should I do? The problem is the feeling that I have missed an opportunity... It sits in my gut like a rock. I don't like… Continue reading Competitions vs publishing
A new year
I don't do resolutions... Quite simply if I do them I tend to break the promises. so instead I make outlandish ones that I know I won't do but will bring a smile to a friend's face. This year they are: I am not allowed to bungee jump from any helicopters... I must not play… Continue reading A new year
Deadlines and Christmas
I don't mind deadlines and I love Christmas but this year is is being a little difficult. Normally I would be winding down the business and getting ready for Christmas but instead I am sitting at the computer and stressing. Don't get me wrong, all my commissions are done and apart from making a soft… Continue reading Deadlines and Christmas
