Guess I ought to put some more work up here.Currently working on my Final Major Project for my BA course, an A to Z of inventions and discoveries round the home, for which I have pitiful amounts of work currently. Also working on some editorials for which I will post a couple of works in progress here. Think I may have scuppered myself with one of my choices: an editorial in The Economist about euphamisms. I really try not to have text in my work, so this will be a toughie. In other news, I've had a Dyslexia test (I'm finding it harder to read than I used to, much to my friends who lend me books chagrin), and handed in my dissertation (what a ball ache). I've also accidently done some gardening where I went out to the garden to pop out some tea leaves on the soil, and the end of a loaf of bread on the bird feeder (for which I gain few birds) and I decided to repot the rose Paul bought for me for Valentines. We've gotten into the habit of him buying me a plant that might live longer than a week in a vase. We also picked up some gladiola bulbs that I bunged in some planters. I also planted some rather crunchy dafodil bulbs that I suspect have gone to the great compost heap in the sky. I think I pulled them out our previous garden a few years ago and hadn't planted them.
Anyway, this was kind of procrastination for my work to do my assessment next week for which the tutor is expecting to see some work on my editorials and my FMP. I note with mild interest that the editorial I thought I'd finished, the tutor pointed out some issues, so it's back to the Wacom pad for that.
Happily, the book for the Cul De Sac comic tribute is being printed and pre ordered currently, and my work has managed to sneak in amongst Bill Watterson, Bill Holbrook, Sergio Arragones, Dave Kellet, and a whole heap of amazing artists. I still can't beleive I got in.
teamculdesac.blogspot.com/ has updates on the book and a full list of contributors. This book celebrates Richard Thompsons brilliant and whimsical Cul De Sac comic. An artist worthy of several accolades, comparable in talent with Searle, Watterson, Hirshfield and Steadman.
Proceeds go towards the Michael J. Fox Foundation, to support Parkinson's Disease research.

Oh and a D&AD competition for advertising a bra fitting service, which ironically are too small for me
