Buy my work, I need income!!!

The House Of Bling review has now been published here: http://www.a-n.co.uk/interface/reviews/single/557200

The Summer Holidays are upon me, so I possibly won’t get as much work done. Which makes no difference to me, as I’m not getting paid for anything I’m doing at the moment.

However, I have been granted the bursary to write a review of the House of Bling exhibition, which my colleague and I were intending to go to see anyway, and therefore is a perfect opportunity.

We’re both big fans of Catherine Bertola’s work, so it’ll be good to see her latest creation.

I intend to finally complete an application to the Arts Council for the original Doll Proposal.

Having finished The Lady Of Shalott Exhibition and now that the LAN has had it’s first exhibition, I need to find some funding for my own project.

Meanwhile I battle with bank charges, still no success finding work, although I’m starting to get more offers since I tweaked my CV. I have paid a small fortune to enter the AOI Images 34 competition, and am in desperate need of some form of income. I’m working on an illustration for The Magic Numbers album cover design….

Currently addicted to Desperate Romantics, the BBC 2 series about the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, my favourite band of arty outlaws (!) Most amusing it is too.

Last week I was out and about in the city of Lincoln, and I bumped into none other than Alfred Lord Tennyson strolling up Steep Hill. Not often you spot him around these days!

Really it was Ben Poole, from the WAGScreen adaptation of The Lady Of Shalott, off to recite another of his poems by his statue outside Lincoln Cathedral.
