I am positive.
Coming home this weekend was possibly the best thing I could have done, looking through all of my old has confirmed in my own mind that I’m definitely on the right path career wise, that intelligence has always run through my work, that I am in fact…good. There, I said it. Maybe for the first time publicly. It’s only taken 7 years to be able to do so.

Repetition / Degeneration project.
Here’s another sleep deprived idea.

At least once a year, I seem to take on some creative task that my mind seems to have constructed solely to destroy itself. One year it was all about 164. 164 quotes in 164 boxes that I had to remove 328 stickers from, presented as if they were butterfly specimens. Another was organising the first 1000 results for ‘interact’ as told by google. I do this strange things and I’m not...

Tonight,3rd year Ba Graphic Arts LJMU style had our work in progress show/ cake sale/ illegal bar/ raffle. It went reet well.
