broken mirrors!

so i am currently in a bit of a stream of bad luck!

In preparation for (...) I am smashing mirrors to make awhat has the potential to be an awesome chandaleer, however, due to this fact I have currently racked up an impressive 35 years of bad luck because of it!

so here are the bad things that have happened because of my foolish mirror smashing ways!

* First things first i did not manage to sell my painting that was involved with the chelsea show (while this isn't the end of the world, it does mean i have to venture to london to collect it!)
* The cheep wood i bought to make my final 15 paintings has decided to warp and make every canvas created totaly unusable!
* whils priming canvases earlier today, my paintbrush decided to shed literally every single one of its bristles onto my now very hairy canvas!
* The affore mentioned cheep wood that was previously stacked so neatly on the wall of my studio space decided to fall over and completely destroy all the work I had put into the affore mentioned chandaleer!
* It also smashed one of the departments overhead projectors in the process
* While picking up the remains of my work i hacked my finger open on a piece of broken mirror
* The next day i managed to cut the SAME FINGER on a nail that was jabbing out from a poorly created canvas!

bad times
let this be a warning to you all

(...)

For those of you who dont know I am soon to be involved in a show in central gallery and working with such artistic talents as Christian Tilt, Katie Barrington, Owen Chapman, Roisin Dykes, Emily Davis, Char Outram and Abi Bryant we are creating an exhibition under the title (...).

The show is starting in a couple of weeks and so the first few preparations are underway. yesterday we had a photoshoot to get an image for our poster (and maybe an image to include as a separate piece of work) and so i thought i would give you a sneak peek at the images.



I shall keep you updated as the action unfolds but for now I hope this is enough to wet your apetite!

and so it begins.....

This whole "blogging" lark is very very new to me. If I am honest with myself, then the thought of people making a concious effort to find out what I personally have to blog about seems a little far fetched, but oh well everyone is doing it aren't they.

i created this thing so that i could keep a record of everything i achieve (that is if I achieve anything at all!) For example on friday i had my first painting on display in a London gallery, which is pretty exciting. Last week i was involved in the Capitol art show in bracknell (although not as artistically lavish as London but still pretty good) and within the next few week I am involved in (and curating) a central gallery exhibition.....it really is all go!

I shall do my best to keep this as updated as possible, but we will have to wait and see if I have the time or energy! i will put up as many pictures as i can and keep you up to date with all the gossip, but untill then feel free to follow me on twitter or facebook.....or not.....its your call.
