BABE 2013 (bit early, this)

23/8/2012

0 Comments

 
Have wasted not a second in booking a table at next year's Bristol Artists' Book Event (20th and 21st April).  This gives me nigh on 8 months to produce some stuff - surely that must be long enough even for me to be productive?  Add to this that I'm about to start renting  a studio, and actually doing something vaguely arty starts to look possible.

I've been learning all over again that I never do anything over the summer.  My brain just seizes up the minute the house is full of (2, just 2) sons.  It's not that they are in the way, or demanding.  They don't clutter up the house (well, not much), they just seem to clutter up my head.  But if I can escape to a dedicated space, that excuse evaporates and I'll either have to find a new one that works or actually do some art.  I don't know how this goes - it could be that the studio will prove to be a 9 day wonder (for 9 day, read 1 month, obv) and I'll be back home realising that my inabilities are built in at foundation level.  But if that proves to be case, at least I'll have given it a shot and I'll know. 

Meanwhile I'm quite excitable about both prospects, the studio and the fair.

    Hi there

    I make prints and book arts, though nowhere near as often as I'd like - no good reason, just an inability to get on with things.  I occasionally go on about landscape (with which I am mildly obsessed) and various of its elements, and I like to pass comment on exhibitions I visit.
