When I started this journey, this is not where I thought I’d end up…

Of course, this journey started a long time ago. Art isn’t a BA or an MA or even a PhD… art is a creative expression of what is not easily said… but I said that last week…

I enjoy writing, and when I submitted my PhD study statement to David Cross, he said how straightforward and to the point it was. That was pertinent because when I went back to put some references into my second MA draft, I thought how wordy it was, which gives me hope for my available word count when I get to my final MA submission!

This week, the writing has been in full force, and the second draft of the Big Wave Manifesto is becoming a statement. I’ve applied for a bursary for a digital marketing course in London. I had two Big Wave meetings, with some good ideas thrashed out. I met up with Borthfest interested parties and Borth artists; hopefully, we can work together with Big Wave… The Network is growing…

Today, has been looking at funding applications to run an art workshop for Climate Conversation Week in November…. So much ground rush… meetings coming up here in Borth and in Aberystwyth with the art centre and town council, not to mention Freshers week when Big Wave will be getting some social media content on ‘What Does Love Mean to You’ I made some badges for that… and will probably need to print out a release form with some IG details…

After writing this blog I am off to either annotate my PhD study statement, load up Mx Hu Cows onto Filmway and into a comp, rivet my Agender Flag and take pictures of it and my ‘Gender Traitor’ boob cast for an open in Wrexham… there will be more writing to do that you can bet!

I’m rather looking forward to a break from all that by some lovely tattooing as I finish Steve’s sleeve off and start James’s new sleeve this week.

No news on the CSM workshop with Clem, but I expect he is busy with the start of term, and radio silence about the gender workshops with Andrew, though I presume Art Council England funding applications will be monstrous…

On a positive note my characters are coming together for F1sting the Oil Companies (Terry and Bully have been to the gym and muscled up for this almighty task!)

Well I can’t hang around here chatting to you lot… I have got ‘art’ to do…
