Sitting in my CD pile in truth.

Ok so I have used photoshop now since 2001 and I love it for creating my art work and I have found I have gotten better with every painting I have made on it but it no longer works on my computer and all attempts to get it working again has failed.
Thats when I remember I had a copy of Corel Painter X and I found it out and loaded it and I have been having a blast!

If I was painting with real life media I would be covered in paint thats how much fun I have been having with Painter and I look forward to learning what I can do with this amazing program.

Am in love!

Hi all I will be having my first gallery showing as part of my degree at the Air gallery in London from the 9th-14th July!

So tomorrow sees the start of my first holiday to Cornwall. Going to Bude for a week so expect a burst of inspiration from me as I love Cornwall it seems such a magic place (compared to Kent).
Bye!

Ihave recently been doing a few ACEO'S. These are fun to do as the are small and allow me to get out my watercolours and not spend hours at a time messing it up! Has anyone else come across the marvel which is the ACEO?

I'm going to cross post this in several places so I apologise now for any one who ends up reading this twice.
I was going to writ about this yesterday but I was too upset.

Ok so yesterday was my assessment for my last 4 projects I had to do, that includes the Mercury music prize painting, the editorial brief, the greeting card design and the professional practice report.
The first project and the professional practice report I was very pleased with. The editorial was a big no no as I did not engage with the project at all. Next was the greeting cards.
Those who know me know that I have been designing and making Greeting cards for the past year and every one kept saying, Use that work it's very good. I didn't really want to add that work for my course as it was my own and if something bad was said about it by my tutors it would eat me up.
In the end time was against me and I decided what the hell I would use it.
Roll on Thursday, hardly slept a wink so I was tired and cranky. We had to do a powerpoint presentation about our work and I had given mine when I heard the words I was dreading from my tutor.

"No I really don't like your greeting card, I don't understand why it needs wings. It leaves me cold."
My other tutor said "I don't see the point of Fantasy Art"
I told them to their faces that I had been selling my cards all over the world so there is an audience for my cards.

Augh some times I wonder why I even bother going to university it's not like i'm enjoying myself any more.

Next week we get our new brief and it will be write your own project. I can't wait.
