Well, the holiday is gone and I am pretty sure I need to go somewhere a bit warmer next year, a place where swimming in the sea is not painful. Fingers are crossed for some sun in Milan! Still, I read 6 whole novels, spent a lot of quality time with my adorable 4 month-old niece and climbed some hills. The fresh air was much needed.
Now I am back and I am working on my eggitechture casts and press material for Milan for the next couple of days. My week in the Coop starts on Wednesday, so I am also getting prepared for that and figuring out all the content for Cardboard Folly. I am seriously impressed with the stuff coming in, some really great writing from Rich White and Gordon Shrigley and the visual content is shaping up to be just as interesting and diverse. I’ve invited various people to come in and work with me and am looking forward to a rich and varied week! Some of my first visitors will be Piccadilly Projects, who also have a blog on here:

The website should be doing a little something by tomorrow, just making a background tile from a lovely brick pattern from the inside of an envelope today.
In money news, this discussion might offer up some interesting ideas on the FUTURE… maybe

Below is a teeny animation I made during the week I worked at PSL in Leeds last month. I need a) sturdier tripod to stop the jumping and b) to watch the focus more closely! Still, it was great to complete and I have a better idea about how I would do it next time!
