Guess what, blog lovers? I just found out I've got an unconditional offer to the MA Printmaking at Middlesex University. Raaaaaaah! Victory at last!
After initial euphoria, came the panic about finding the money. Some enterprising people have set up crowdfunding on Hubbub and the like, I think this is quite bold, I don't really have the cojones to ask total strangers to pay for my degree.
So it's off to the library to research charities and trusts.
And maybe I should start trying to actually, you know, sell what I've made in order to fund this adventure...

Come on, brain
Here are some of the opportunities which I’ve let slide in
the past few months, because I just can’t even, at the moment…
Made little print fanzines for the new Maker’s Library, part
of a new British Council initiative, at ELP.
Exhibited in Mile End Art Pavilion on the theme of A New
Home (refugee themed show)
Exhibited in Roman Road for a ‘Generations’ themed exhibition
Just Got Made exhibition at Somerset House
Sublet at the print studio
Failed to apply for residencies at ELP and the print studio in
City Lit (free use of space in return for teaching sessions)
I had a beautiful dream yesterday, that I was flicking
through my sketchpad, I hadn’t thought they were very good but they were all
miraculously wonderful, like looking at someone else’s work almost. They were oil pastel, which is weird,
something I never use. And just everyday scenes, (though the scenes in my dream
were in fact quite odd, adult rated and kinky, featuring ironwork fetish
jewellery, and orgies in a swimming pool.)
It was a bit disappointing waking up and realising my new found artistic
genius was illusory.
What does it mean? It means I need to get my arse in gear,
it’s not going to happen by itself.
