Its the last day of January which means I have chosen a challenge to be carried out. Despite having a few exciting challenges, the most truly challenging was from Alexander Stevenson and is:
January Challenge
Invite local celebrities, national celebrities, local government, local clubs and societies, local press, important people and less so, to come to your studio and have you explain what it is that you do / are doing. It will take all of your cunning and tactical skills to get people to actually come, and you can rate the exercise based on who you manage to get (ie. the mayor = 10 points, head of the local hells angels = 4 points).
I find this both really exciting and really daunting. For a starter I recently gave up my studio and re-located it in my house (it was time to learn to drive and the studio was relocatable) meaning the whole event will have to be in my living room which is tiny. Getting local celebrities etc to my front room is going to be a challenge in its self. although if The Institute (www.twoaddthree.org) can do it then I can give it a damn good go.
Task number one is to make a list of appropriate people and go from there.
Its also time for the February challenges to begin being submitted.
