The Degree Show

The above photo is a dramatisation of events, which may have occurred in a parallel universe 

The text below refers to the actual events, in our universe

So Don never did show up, and Kirk might not have beamed down from the Enterprise to seduce Betty, however alot of other people did turn up - I can say with great certainty I've never seen so many people mill about the studio floors. Initially I was running around, incredibly nervous - trying to make sure no disasters were occurring (I suspect to distract myself from working myself up), saving wine glasses and other pressing matters any self respecting gentleman would jump to in an occasion such as this.

So just how was it? Find out after the jump.

Whilst there is a chance Don might not being coming, (he hasnt got back to me yet) you can be sure that I'll be there. You'd better be too, otherwise you'll be square (in some cases its actually hip to be square, not this instance however).

Hiatus/Return

My lack of activity since November has really been down to the fact that the past year, in terms of uni has been incredibly crazy. I've gone through periods where I feel like my work has progressed tenfold, and then times where I just fight with the canvas as if I'm banging my head against a wall.

As it stands, our degree show is coming up incredibly fast and it seems as though everyone has yet to finalise what we'll be showing. 

Third Year

Its my third and final year of Fine Art at University, and in someways its nice to be here - but then its an incredibly scary thought at the same time.

I can see how much I've grown with my work in that time, but I cant wait to see where it leads me in the longterm, ever since I had a group exhibition during the start of the summer I've had a burning desire to be part of another, its something I'm hoping to achieve again in the coming months.

I entered into the 'Open 22' exhibition which The City Gallery holds annually - this year its being held at The New Walk Museum as the Gallery itself has closed its doors until a suitable replacement has been found, its quite a buzz and I'll find out on the 5th of November if my work has been selected to be in it.

Wish me luck!
