*le sigh*

Well its that time of year again when students head back to college! and a huge good luck to you all guys!

For those, like myself, who have graduated now comes that sullen lul of silence...

*PFFFFT!*

I wish...

Ive been extreamly fortunate to have a constant flow of commission based work being requested, especially since the exhibition based in Falkirk, came to a close. A huge thank you still goes to everyone who helped make it happen. Love you guys!

Theres another exhibition on in the space folks so please head on down to see it! You wont be dissapointed!

Ive managed to drift my backside into painting again... which is wierd... Meanwhilst experimenting with embroidery again haha. Two of my paintings have had offers on them as well as my embroidery piece. *dancing much... aye*

But with all this spare time, what else have I been up to????

BAKING! Ive become midly addicted to baking cake pops, vodka jello and all the other fun stuff;
HOLIDAYS!!!! Yes, myself and Garry shall be heading to Alcudia at the end of September;
Job huntering... determined to get out of McDonalds like a bat out of hell! **Insert Meatloaf tune here please**

But aye

On another note Im also doing tutoring for students. Ive already been booked to help students with Mathematics *sorry campers* And I have a few slots left for Art students. The way I tutor is a bit different from several other art tutors. I prefer to keep in contact throughout the year showing processes, artists and giving assistance to all projects. *keeps me sane* You can never really crash study art for an exam but extra learning throughout the year can be a major bonus to your academic year. Tutoring for art also covers Graphic Communication and Product Design courses. And I basically let the student decide what they need help with.

~Rant Beginning~ 

The job of an external tutor is to assist the student in areas they want help with. You cant make lesson plans for them, least thats what I believe. Any fannybandit that says they make plans on how to "teach" the student needs a slap in the baws. Thats not your job, thats their teachers job to make plans. Your just an aid to the student

~Rant over~


Anyways if your in the Falkirk Area and are interested in having a tutor for your year of high school in art, graphics or product design, please get in touch. If not, go check out the latest exhibit in Falkirk.

Till next time XD

Keep Calm

and Chive On...

Exhibition is up!

Woo hoo jazzy people. Our exhibition is up and running. It's at the old index/littlewoods store on Falkirk high street and I'm so excited, exhibiting with me is carol Meikelham, Ann Walker, Kirsten Mains and a piece by Sally. It's being run through the Falkirk delivers initiative for the next 10 days open 10am to 5pm. So if your in the Falkirk high street looking to kill a few minutes drop by and have a swatch.

I'm exhibiting a fraction of my drawings. Some old and new and some never seen before Barcelona studies. Also my dead goldfish are up aswell as my bus journey studies.

I've also been looking into getting my goldfish printed on tshirts as suggested by some interested visitors, so hey ho you never know?

Bus blogging again

Holy smokey and all that jazz what a busy few weeks likes!

Some exciting news, ill be exhibiting my work yet again for the next few days in Falkirk, along with some awesome friends, fellow students and the likes.

I can't express how vital it is that Falkirk needs to regenerate itself. And by doing the art exhibition in the town is just the start. It's a fantastic space and I'm really excited to get involved and get the stuff on show. I've managed to rope in a couple awesome friends and arty folk and I even have an awesome idea of doing a performance drawing to pull the public through the doors.

Ooooft so excited! I'm going home right now to finish mounting some work. I've even been productive in making my business cards, okay im a cheapskate and totally DIY'ed them but they're done haha

Photos and details will follow soon enough. But I'm also feeling rather arty fatty right now and may be doing some craft or sew-drawing once I get home?, so many ideas its actually getting torturous.

Anyways I'm starting to get travel sick typing on the bus home so aye

Signing out.

P.s. enjoy the random drawings I'm adding to the post. Haha
