Survived the first month,

So hey I survived the first month of uni. Three projects in and I’m still not really integrating well into groups. fixed up a couple of good friends in Sam & Robin (check out their work). Decided this morning I would actually start blogging again to coincide with me still working on my portfolio, the blogs been a bit forgotten about whilst I transitioned to uni.

Here is a brief look at some work from the last two projects:

Project 1 involved the creation of a low cost zine based around Winchester. With the final outcome produced on the photocopier. Studying the forms of buildings and landscapes of Winchester and flipping themselves onto each other to create a visually interesting and thoughtful piece of work.

Project 2 involved the creation of a pinhole camera from an object our choosing. I chose to create mine from a story book in a charity shop. all of these photos apart from the 2nd are 8 second exposures in the day with the 2nd photo being an hour and a half at nightime.

It’s 5:48 in the morning and I cant sleep.

So yeah it’s nearly 6AM and I cant sleep at all, my sleep pattern has been so messed up recently and I keep finding myself waking up at 3:30 in the afternoon which doesn’t help things. I have work in just over two hours which recently has held no thrill for me. Recently I was given a very slight promotion but keeping up with the training has just proved to be a hassle with only working one day a week.

Beyond work my time at AUCB came to an end a couple of months back and I start at my new university: Winchester School of Art in just under a month and I’m quite apprehensive to say the least. Will my hallmates like me. Will my classmates like me. Will I be a total failure. There’s a lot to go wrong with moving out and taking on the world by myself. Although at the same time its very exciting to go out and make a name for myself. I’m hoping to exhibit some work on the blog as early as October or November whilst I build up my portfolio to release to the world properly (I’m picky with the design of it). I think I’ve gone on for long enough at 6 in the morning so I will leave you with some generic uni photos of what my room in halls is like. I will post some photos when I have all of my kit set up and when I actually move in.

All Things New

Time for an update!

  • First up. University is over! I have finished my course and start at another Winchester School Of Art in October (hopefully) my art show starts in a week and I cant wait to go round on the private showing to see what people are thinking and saying about my pieces.
  • Second up I have eventually started updating my Portfolio with work now that I have all this time off, check it out if you have the time, it only has two pieces of work at the moment, but its being updated daily.
  • Finally I am appealing for work! I need illustration, and graphic design work over the summer. If you have a firm or you just need the odd job working on email me and I will see if we can work something out!

Some Photo’s from my art show to close this post off…
