My degree show !

Friday the 10th of June was my Degree show, was a really good night, lots of people and lots of drink ! Next up is D&AD new blood in London and then I'm taking part in Unleashed in Manchester ... and then Im on my own!

Blackburn college Photography degree show ... and some of the fine art show

I went to support a close friend, got to admit photography is not really my thing but I was really impressed, I managed to sneak out and see the fine art show ... more my thing ... and there were some amazing pieces !

and the fine art show ..

I wanted to take more pics but i was getting some really bad looks ! ha

Work space? important or not ?

I always think you need a really good work space and that your work space reflects you ?! I took some pictures of my dads study, since he started using the room as a study he managed to finish a novel he had been working on for years and since its been published its had some amazing reviews!

I need to find my self some studio space and soon!!
