During the start of my third year I was approached at the Atriums Arts Fair by artist Paul Fisk. He asked me if I would like to be part of the Festival of the Beats in January 2014 and I said yes.
‘The “Beat Generation” was popularized by a group of writers in 1950′s America, quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon, the “beats” were influenced by cultural aspects such as “Eastern Religions” sexual exploration and freedom of self-expression.’

I was asked to create drawings of the 8 beats who inspired that generation. The picure of myself with the ‘8 beats’ is the finished result. The pictures were exhibited in Ipsiwch town hall.
