Revisiting......

For what ever reason, this week I was called to revisit my old sketchbooks and work from my unsuccessful attempt at a degree. (To get a quick background into the nightmare that was college go here)

Looking back with the benefit of hindsight, I've decided that it was actually pretty good. The whole college thing busted my confidence in the work I was producing. It made me doubt everything.....

In a world of my own

The project I was working on when I did my Dear John email to college was quite powerful stuff, very different to how I would usually work, very different subject matter....

This project was full of strong ideas and meanings, it's a shame it didn't reach it's potential.

Looking at it with renewed, less weary, less defeated eyes I think that I'm going to push this project on. 

I'm going to give it life again  

(And at this point I'd like to point out that I don't regret the "dropping out of college" thing..it was the best thing I did. If I had stayed I'd probably be writing this from Prison after murdering either a tutor or fellow course participant.)

A quick landscape paintings from a previous project (told that they were crap!!)

So onwards with some renewed vigour....
