EXCITING TIMES!

So much is happening at the minute and so much has happened in the past 3 months! 

I'll start with now:

1. Hopefully meeting with a book publisher next week who is a relative of a friend, and has kindly offered to see my portfolio. Very excited because he is the director and he knows people!

2. Reading 'Brave New World' for the Folio Society illustration competition. Got some sneaky ideas floating around in my head for that...

3. The Storehouse magazine at NUCA are taking submissions for this terms copy. I got in last year, so same again this year? The theme is 'Go'. 

4. Could be working with a friend in 3rd year graphics at NUCA for his final year project. Really need to send him my work! it involves a Mexican wrestler...

5. The brief at the minute is for 4 illustrations and the front cover of 'The Swimmer' by John Cheever. It's a dark, sad story set in 1950's upper class America where Neddy, the main man, decides to swim across the county through his friends swimming pools to solve his problems. 
Interesting, and so far I've been producing work I would never normally make, its exciting and a bit scary that I don't really know what I'm doing! 

Finaalllllyyyy.....

I'M GOING TO FRANCE!!!!

Very soon in January I will be leaving for Rouen for 3 months! 
Exciting stuff. 
I have a feeling this will come round way too fast, but running away to France for a while might be exactly what I need at the minute.

In fact I can't wait! Just feel sorry for my poor housemates who have to put up with an exchange student in the house for a while....sorry, I hope they're a lovely person and don't smell.
