This and that (art career)

As AIR with Waverley Council I've been busy making work, going to the studio, spending hours on the road, entering comps, booking shows, securing an agent, reading reading reading, getting tutor gigs & insurance. Did you know that casual work such as running classes or workshops or performing requires your own insurance? It does. For that go to NAVA for links.

But for models & performers etc, go to http://www.duckforcover.com for totally affordable cover. They are the bomb. Makes it possible for your efforts to be all about the art.

For the blind

One of the best things about sitting a gallery show is the people.

A man told me not to take anything personally as he ushered his unsighted mother around the walls. To him they were silly. He came out with the classic, "A 7-year old could..." and repeatedly dismissed them with "Strings. Lots of strings." "More strings."

Until he came to one, in fluoro pinks, ribbons & roses. I braced myself, then he stepped back as he told her, "Now, [big pause] this one! This one's [got me]."

So you never know. (see above)

France

A French friend saw this blog & gave me A- for the project. He wanted to give more, but like a true lecturer, he said it was to make me work harder. Thanks B. x
