Working on the Raffle Daffle poster as we speak.....

Raffle Raffle

Naomi has come up with the brilliant idea of a raffle auction and has already sourced some top prizes. She has asked me to help her organise this. Methinks this will be a great way to make some monies in the next week for the exhibition.

I plan to find some people to donate some prints, and i know a few artists who would be willing to donate some work back home.

Wish us luck!

Oh and happy birthday Naomi's sister.

Ellie Bates

Why not look at a practicing artist i allready know? Ellie Bates is a fantastic artist with realy great video and sculptural work. kingston's degree show last year was amazing from what iv seen and i really like the way she exhibits her work.

Ideas ideas ideas

So we Had an idea for a gig to raise funds... but alas a blood drive was decided upon instead.

What an utter load of tripe... who's bright idea was that? No1 you are no allowed to profit from blood donation and No2 "its going to raise funds for our exhibition" is still profiting.

Having said that I'm hopeful I can raise some monies somewhere to contribute.

a monument to creative failure

It's my birthday today and I've been looking at art... what else would i be doing?

Michael Landy has created an Art Bin. A 600m2 clear bin which artists are encouraged to donate work to be well... bined!
