Hello my fellow virtual wizards

I have been more or less absent from the community here for a fair while now, but that does not mean my life is quiet. I am busy with lots of things - am still writing my dissertation and am starting to feel the pressure of final year of university courses. On top of that I co-founded a visual arts society at my university, and we are organising workshops and exhibitions around campus for the creative students in Glasgow. With over 150 people on our mailing list, I think it's going well considering we just launched ourselves in the middle of September and had only 5 members at that point! We will be holding workshops exploring several media and approaches, including life drawing, printmaking, knitting, Halloween costume-making, skirt/shorts-making, photoshop and photography. If any of you have experience of organising such workshops or exhibitions, your knowledge could be a huge help to me and my fellow co-founders, so feel free to have a chat with me about it

I have been painting and taking photos as well. I am nearing the end of a large canvas which I have stewed over for a number of months, and have prepared 2 more. I hope to put some paintings up for exhibition and sale in an event organised by a friend of mine in December, so I should be more active in the months to come.

I apologise for not exploring all the great galleries of my friends in so long, my inbox shows over 4,000 images and it's just too daunting to start looking through them all. I will get around to you all eventually!


Here are some great images I discovered while browsing today:








Incidentally, if any of you have Spotify, I strongly recommend you check out the band "Asylum Street Spankers" - or check them out on Youtube; [link] ; [link] ; [link]
