The what's happening with you artistically thread.

Studio moved home, yay!!

Have you completely given up your studio space now?

I'm currently getting to grips with lino-cutting again - I did a few many years ago (1987-88) but haven't done any since, so I'm having to relearn all the techniques.

Yes nearly, I am almost fully moved in at home. I am aware at some point I will have to make bigger work, but for now I want to make a body of fully realised professional shit hot work, but I need to work at home to gain full consistency of production, it is hard utilising a studio fully when working full time, at home it's easier. I then want work to get into some of the major competitions, then gain some form of gallery representation, this may take years. I find if I get to bogged down in local arts stuff, it goes nowhere. I have found I have become dispirited over local stuff or issues I have been caught up in,  in the past and I feel this shows in my work, the text stuff is not where I want to be at. It is not enough for me to just do the local thing. I wish to regain a full pasion for the medium I work in (paint) and regain ambition, which was killed by those studios. I personally wish to remove myself from the local scene in order to progress my work. That may come across as snotty, but I don't care, I need my Mojo back.

I have already begun to piece together drawings towards new work, it will be smaller work for the time being.... I want to work in colour again and allow the work to reach outwards into new territory. I also want a continously developing body of work.

The linos look good, can we have some better close ups of the work please.

I'm pleased as I did one drawing, not perfect, there is still a way to go, but my work is beginning to find the form that I want for it.

More drawings, biomorphic abstract stuff, I'm happy with that.

Nice work.

I am going to have to paint, my drawings are doing what I want, yet the more drawings you do, the more possibilities are opened, I forgot about that gotta keep moving I guess.

[lazrs3]

Went to Nottingham Contemporary today, looking great, good bookshop and study room too.
