Sheffield Hallam

Today I aim to get lots done, rather than my usual Sundays where I spend the mornings at a car boot sale and the afternoons lazing about.

At the moment I’m working on possible beginning and end pieces of my series. I’m thinking of working down the body from head to toe. So I have to draw faces and feet. I used to love drawing/painting feet (as weird as it sounds). But now I seem to be getting quite annoyed but I’ll stick to it!

Yesterday we got some way through the catalogue, it is still not finished but it’s looking pretty damn good.

I got to the studios at 8 last night and I had no energy what so ever. I just about managed to pack up all my things so I could do my work over the weekend in the house. I much prefer working in the studio that at home, it enables you to better differentiate between the two.

I haven’t yet started anything today though, i’m still working on the catalogue, even though I should give it a break.

So, right this very second i’m going to leave the house to buy paper then I can get to work when I get back.

Today is catalogue day. We’re going to be placing everything together and hopefully getting somewhere near finished. Some part of me is extremely annoyed at having to do this, and the fact that I could be doing studio work in this time. But, I really enjoy making books and being involved in the layout of the catalogue.

I’ve been considering some sort of career based in publications. I also love writing but I just can’t imagine losing my practice. Making is so enjoyable. Sitting at a computer all day every day might drive me insane.

…

She was who I wanted to be.

Today I had less time in the studio but I made more work than in the past few days. I want to be in the studio all day tomorrow. Nine til nine would be a dream, but it’s never going to happen. I have to work on the catalogue tomorrow, but I’m going to fit in some of my work too. I won’t get lost.

I can now see the beginning and end of my work. Things seem to be fitting in to place and I’m on my way to finding the love.

I’ll truly be happy when I love my work enough to be able to walk away and not find fault when I return.
