Work Work!

So after having literally a day off after the last show finished, I have begun work on exhibition number 3, this show is a little different, as it is also a GIG as well, essentially what is happening is that I'm working with 5 singers / bands, the idea being that I create images based off of their songs, so it will be an interesting night, I have the venue confirmed and all five of the acts I'm working with.

I have to say I feel very privileged to be working with such amazing musicians, the songs everyone has submitted are amazing. I will announce who these extremely talented people are soon.

The show is Due to open on April 4th at the villa Marina arcade.

I made the News :)

Last night's one night show went really well with an excellent turnout and good sales, the hanging went very smoothly with only a few issues with hanging (thanks so much Nic! you are a genius) I will post some pics once I've picked them up from rosie later in the week, no I'm going to sleep for about a week I think.

Promotion, Promotion, Promotion! Panic.

Well, we open exhibition number 2 tomorrow, it all seems to have come around very quickly, I won't lie but I am really nervous about this show, I'm happy with the work I produced for it, it's just the time of year. I have never done a show in January before simply because it's really hard to get people to come to exhibitions during this time of year let alone try and sell work.

The Courthouse is a fantastic venue and it is also one of the larger venues of the whole project. I'm sure all of this last minuet nerves and aside from the nervousness I'm really excited about the show, It's also getting some good promotion through local media:
