I haven’t entered much lately, or applied for many exhibitions either really, compared with what I have done in the last year or three. I’m not sure why. Maybe I was tired, listening to too much recession talk and being a bit lazy. Today I decided it was time I got over myself and got back out there. So I have …
I have booked exhibition spaces, applied for art awards, put my name forward here and there. To keep track of all the due dates etc I have printed out a new timetable that’s now on my whiteboard directly above my work desk. No more excuses!
If I have a little bit of time I make postcards at my ‘work’ desk in my office. I have card, paper, pens, glue, collage, and stamping stuff on hand. I like to have a good stack of postcards and decorated envelopes on my desk so I can dash off quick notes to people. My handwriting is truly awful – bordering on doctor-quality illegible – but I think most people can read it, or at least guess that I was thinking of them 😉
