Feel Good Friday

As we go through our lives day by day a lot can happen and pass us by. lately I've got into a habit of reflecting on what I've done. Time is short and although 80 - 90 years may seem like a lifetime when I think that the universe is billions of years old, a lifetime will pass us by.

Now Tupacs life was tragically cut short but like each and every one… Continue

I Am Scared - an experiment in VR/360

Im interested in the 3rd Industrial Revolution and what roles art can/will play in the revolution.

As a part of my award I proposed to make three artistic responses throughout the year, creating something that is inspired by what I have learnt up to that point.

I have just spent a week creating the first response, A VR/360 video…

The path of uncertainty awaits us all but surely that's half the fun! Chasing down success and following your dreams and ambitions can lead you anywhere and everywhere

Feel Good Friday

This weeks Feel Good is on the theme of mistakes.

Now bare with me as it's not as glum as it sounds.

As we go through life it's inevitable that we will make mistakes along the way. We are human after all.

African Dream

I have been invited out to Butebe, Uganda to help out at an Orphanage and with the Orphanage School. I am trying to raise £2000, £700 on the flights and £1300 going to the school.

Even if you could share this message with some of your friends I would be so grateful.…
