Automotive in the blood.

Automotive in the blood.

I have got a serious case of automotive enthusiasm, it has gotten to the point that I have run out of people to talk to about cars, it is a serious issue but something that I can live with because I know that my unnatural obsession about the subject may be to my advantage over the average joe. 

My obsession begins back in the midlands when I was too small for my feet to touch the pedals my…

Difficulty of partners Part 2

Difficulty of partners Part 2

Being asked to be someone’s partner over the Christmas break gave me slight relief from the anxiety of worrying about the whole thing. In most cases, the people I wanted to work with already had made their first choices. In some cases, I was too slow to ask and in others I had sadly not even been considered by the rest of the cohort. There are several reasons that I could guess for why I wasn’t…

No regrets over Christmas.

No regrets over Christmas.

One thing that I have noticed from day one, is that me and these people are not the same. This was reinforced by the tasks that we were set to do before the end of the year, go out into the world a bit more and report back on the additional culture that we have found within them. I can’t lie as I went through these things and saw how dull they were and thought to myself its literally everything I…

Difficulties of Partners

Before i Krak on, i would like to give a shout out to everyone that I have emailed since I have started studying at the School of Communication Arts 2.0 asking for crits of some of my work. We can’t move forward unless we learn from the mistakes from the past. 

So it’s been four months of blood and sweat but no tears from me as of yet but I can’t speak for the rest of the cohort. Of one of the…

Week 13 at SCA

Week 13 at SCA

If you had told me when I was sixteen that in my late twenties I would be still in education and would find a love in writing and eating dessert with the deputy leader of the labour party, I would have thought you were trying to wind me up. Literally when I was a teenager I had zero direction and nobody to look up to. I left school and went into hospitality, where I was diagnosed with dyslexia;…

26/11/19 - That Overwhelming Feeling.

26/11/19 – That Overwhelming Feeling.

One of my biggest flaws has to be that i have difficulty planning and organising thoughts and tasks, this affects me in my daily life. I haven’t been one to blame this on my Dyspraxia but as things become more difficult to manage and start to stress me out even more, things start to slip and I lose even more control. 

Like this week of the 25th November 2019 has been one of my most testing…

The Human Experience.

Being human, having the human experience is one of the strangest things to be apart of – aside from wondering how vast the universe is or pondering the viscosity of actual space. But it’s true, there are so many variables that shape a human. The best way I can explain it is that, if life was an RPG game, then character creator list of attributes would be more than a couple pages. We are all quite…

Autograph Gallery - Lina Iris Viktor Exhibition

Autograph Gallery – Lina Iris Viktor Exhibition

This weekend I visited an exhibition by Lina Iris Viktor at the Autograph Gallery. During my working years, I didn’t have much time to go out and have experiences like this, due to being burnt out and lacking motivation to immerse myself in the creative world. Being on the course has really reignited my interest in other people’s work and encouraged me to go out looking for inspiration.
