Wow, what a thrilling headline I came up with! This week I’m mainly sorting out the new screen studio and Inkjet equipment. This is the inherited money I spoke of earlier being invested. Today I ordered a new PC, built to my requirements, so that I can print inkjet stuff like we did for the

I have been curated onto a website of graduates by Axis, so you can see some of my sculptures and CV there. They’ve even written an article about my work. I’m getting nervous about my show in Westminster, (or is it about the mortgage papers?) I feel like it is largely down to me if

Today I went to see the librarian at the Tate. They have a great research centre which I plan to use in the future to look at other small press books. They have a collection of over 50,000 books. We discussed how Dinocerata will prove difficult for conservation, but they seemed to want to rise to the

Today I went to see a man called Duart at Westminster Reference Library, just behind the National Gallery. He contacted me through the Slade Degree show. They’ve asked me to put on an exhibition of sculptures and books for the length of August, which will be my first solo show. It is an ideal place for my work, it feels

Chelsea College of Art and Design on Millbank have purchased a copy of ‘nth convention’, ‘Nonconformist’, and ‘Dinocerata’ for their artists’ book collection, which is one of the finest I’ve seen. Any alumni or student there can go and look at these books. As an alumni I’m especially pleased. And I must say I was

We had the opening of the Slade degree show last night, and it was a great success. Lots of people turned out and response to my exhibit seemed good. Hello to you especially if you were there, and thank you for coming. It was an exciting but peculiar event, I didn’t really know what to feel a
