Exhibition and New Business Cards

There is a preview tonight for an exhibition that I am featured in (6 -8pm at Curwens Gallery, Royston, please come if you're local!), I'll be showcasing a selection of new circular prints (that is a blog exclusive!) so I needed some new business cards and labels. What do you think? I'm going for a new look, I'm quite pleased with the result.

Wish me luck for tonight! Below is one of the prints from the show.

Every day in August

I did it again, took a photo of the sky every day throughout the whole of august. If you compare it to July, August was much greyer but 2 rainbows, yes please!

Snorkeling fun

Earlier on in the summer, I discovered snorkeling! I had never really got on with this before, I think I kept going too far below the water and then breathing in the water, plus it doesn't really work with glasses and Royston swimming pool isn't a very inspiring place to do it! So basically me and snorkeling never got on, that is until now. Armed with contact lenses, the Mediterranean sea and making sure I didn't swim too deep (I found keeping your bum out of the sea helps) I gave it a proper go and really really loved it. Here are some things I saw. I have no idea what the last one is but wouldn't it look good next to this one?

Sunlight, shadows and sparkly dust

Beautifully Foggy mountains

One morning when we woke up, this is what greeted us. We sat out on the balcony and watched the clouds drift in and out of the mountains. It was so beautiful and then half an hour late it had completely disappeared.

Entopic Group and Parallel Parking

A little while ago I was asked by Entopic Group if I would like to have a solo exhibition on their (fab) website. Thank you very much for asking guys, I would be delighted! In fact I think my initial reaction was YESSSSSSSSSS PLEASEEEEEE!!!!!!! My images are the featured exhibition for the whole of September. I highly recommend taking a look at the other artists featured on this site too as there are some complete stunners. These images above are the ones that almost, but not quite, made it into my show.

In other news, I havn't shared a little story on here in a while so I thought I'd tell you about a stupid thing that happened to me the other day as it made me chuckle.

Basically, I cannot parallel park. I try every now and again in the vague hope that I may of learnt it in my sleep or something - never do! The other night there was a space right outside my house that was plenty big enough for my car so I thought I'd give it a go. I tried for what felt like half an hour (more likely 5 mins but I was starting to get a smidge stressed) to get my car in this gap. I even drove down the road, turned round and tried from the other direction. But nothing, there was no getting my car in that gap. I live on quite a busy street so lots of people had to drive past me whilst watching my attempts and I am pretty sure that my neighbours were laughing looking out their windows too - not that I blame then, I would of done the same. In the end I had to admit defeat and go and park it down the road under the bird poo trees (official name, no-one parks under these trees if they can help it, you can guess why). Anyway safe to say I had to wash my car yesterday because of the birds. I can't help thinking that if I was filmed trying to park my car, it would of been a funny watch!
