Hello to all my dedicated followers, a VERY BIG sorry for not writing for so long and yes I've changed the background for the blog ! I saw the flies and couldn't resist it ! It reminds me of a book called the Wasp Factory by Ian Banks - a very dark tale of violence, the odd wasp and the odd dead fly too !
I haven't written for many a moon due to being back at college and having the odd commission to complete. I still haven't finished the commission but it's my day off teaching - hence the borrowed 5 minutes and the quick rant from yours truly. At this time of the week I'm normaly writing up my lesson-plan for my ADVANCED LIFE DRAWING WORKSHOP but as its not running tomorrow, I have a brief reprieve. I should be in my studio DRAWING LINES with tiny 0000 brushes and water soluable oil paint - but somehow I'm not ! Maybe in a few minutes !
I haven't got my Tuesday evening lifeclass due to the fact that I'm double booked and instead of weilding a lump of charcoal I'll be encouraging even more students to sign up for Graphic Design courses at the St Vincent College Open Evening which so happens to be tomorrow evening ! The course and yours truly is a victim of success and this year we have huge classes - so no rest for the wicked, which brings me back to Frank in the afore mentioned novel - if you haven't read it - beg or borrow a copy and you'll see what I mean - he really was a wicked lad ! That's enough plugging for Mr Ian Banks - not that he neads it. I need a plug and perhaps another cup of tea - cheerio everyone
