OK So its been a while and this is what I am being inspired by at the moment

HELLO WORLD !!!!!!!!!!

I haven't  been the best blogger in the world so here it goes  . . .

The last date I blogged was May the 1st after work experience. Since then I finished my final major project and university,Big stuff .
I have discovered my new favorite artist Not only for the amazing creations but the way that he see his inspiration  the way that he has always been inspired by the chaos of life and emotions . I belive he portrays emotions and energy amazingly Viktor Sheleg was born in 1962 in Lomonosov, near Saint-Petersberg, Russia. His family moved to Latvia when he was three. Viktor has been drawing since early childhood and started painting at the age of twelve. Self-taught, his creativity is based on his personal worldview, which earned him a solid reputation of an independent artist. Sheleg developed his style and aesthetic preference in a country isolated from the rest of the world and known for its climate of conformity. The artist himself says that his work is inspired by chaos and that his painting is guided by emotions and energy.He lives and works in Riga, Latvia to this day.
 Theses are my a few of my favorites

THE LAST DAY AT LAST!

Didn't do much but monitored the portfolio reviews and started to pack up the rooms and exhibition .I met some amazing contacts and people I also got to look at some great work that really inspired me . I learn't about behind the scene at award ceremony and the rolls it takes to put on such an event . I also learnt about the organisation of an exhibition not only that but I learnt techniques for photography and portfolio layout. I have taken away a lot from this experience I had to work long hours and be on the ball . I would like to say thank you to any one I met that week you were great and really kept me going .

Friday 29th March

The wedding day  . . .
Every  one was just milling around and there was a solid crowed of women  glued to the screens making all sorts of squealing noises along with a sigh every so often . All those hard shouldered women who at the start of the day said they didn't want to get married sure changed their mind by the end of the day .
Ok so the day may not have been the most productive day but there wasn't exactly the busiest day either . I just kept my room tidy after talks and screenings , I sat in on a talk by three photographers and they really inspired me and got me thinnking about reevaluating my FMP , homlessnuss is don'e to death I need  a NEW angle .
