I have recently (this Monday) felt that my time in the wilderness of non creativity was time wasted but at the same time it was time well spent.
I will explain.
As I have said before I am, or have been, an artist. Nothing like the brave souls who go out there and do it, with no support or financial backing. NO. I am a charlaton, a degree student – who gave up when the money and course run out and the lure of jobs and the 9-5 was too much to turn down.
My years in the wilderness were spent building a career in TV production. From the humble beginnings of a video tape library I worked my way up to the even more humble (or is it humiliating?) heights of internet TV sports producer. WOW!
Now I have embarked on my new life – as an artist again. Ok, i am still employed by internet TV and I am a whore to the money men, but at least i am trying!
My wife tells me i have to put a positive spin, she has had a glass of wine!
So, over the next few days I will attempt to tell the ups and downs of my (our) current exhibition.
