my my my, half way through june already!!!
this month I have mostly been involved with the Versus project held at Market Gallery - I am on team Ironbbratz - hell yeah! we have created and installed 4 shows since the beginning of the month and we have our 5th show opening on Saturday 20th at 7pm - come and join in!
also, the comic strip project, the big antidote, that i did the opening story panels for (not the title at the top, but the bit that introduces Sylvie and the fox) is now actually up on a 30 metre long hoarding on Old Street, London!!!! if you can, please go and see it, take photos and send them to me (as I can't go to see it myself), i would most appreciate that, thanks.
right, must go and make art!!!

i think this must be the gulf stream!!!
well, this month has started off at full throttle....
a week or so ago i got invited to take part in an exhibition experiment which sounded pretty good fun - i didn't have too many details about it, just vague idea about it being a kind of competition against another group of glasgow based artists....
we had our fist meeting yesterday at 7pm at Market Gallery where the true extent of what i have signed up for became a lot clearer...very suddenly!
it's art wars!!!!
we got our first brief last night and a budget from which we had to produce a work to assessed this afternoon at 5:30pm!
there were several factors that made this a hard task
- 1st was my group Ironbbratz was made up of people who didn't all know each other or each others' work and practice
- 2nd the budget was given to us after most of the shops had shut (and our decisions were definitely made after all the other useful shops in the vicinity had closed)
- 3rd was that many of us have those really crap things called jobs which get in the way of work!!! hee hee, only kidding!
it was all good and really really exciting - i've not been so pumped about being involved in anything for ages - this is the kind of project that takes me back to just after i graduated when everything seemed possible and everything pretty much was possible depending on how much effort you put in to make it happen - BRILLIANT!
we got graded as 'effective' for our response to the first brief, occupy....
we have our next brief already and will be graded on Friday afternoon....hmmmm...
apart from that, i am in the final stages of the ten animated films i'm making for East Ayrshire hopefully - squeezing them into all my spare time (which seems suddenly to have completely evaporated - eek!) so that should be one less thing to do soon, fingers crossed...
i'll be back..................after this break
