The show is up and atom!!

So the college show is now running into its second week. The work on display is AMAZING and, although I am very bias, I do believe it's one of the best years yet. The opening night was last Friday where everyone's tough year of work was awarded with a celebration of live music and cheap wine, lots of fun was had by all!! Here's some photos of my installation, the pictures don't really do it justice as it was impossible to photograph it in the round due to the enclosed nature of the space (7 boards each one 7ft x 4ft creating an enclosed hexagonal installation.) Anyways it will give you an idea, talk soon, lis x















...and to end, here is a family photo of my three best buds and me (the ginger!)

happy days :)

I had some really good news today, I was awarded a Laura Ashley sponsored bursary of £3000 towards setting up my business. I am both surprised and elated!! It's fantastic because now it means I can buy the vital screen printing equipment to continue making work, I can also finally afford to set up a good website! Watch this space because I am in for a busy year!!
...also, here's a look at me featured on the cover of Damien O'Reillys magazine 'Pinback.' It's a free zine that can be found in shops in Cardiff and Dublin. Damo is a graphic designer and his work is most definately worth a look, check him out at http://www.flickr.com/photos/damienoreilly/
