With the bio finally out of the way I feel as though a giant weight has been lifted from my shoulders and am only now able to relax in full knowledge that at least for this moment in time I have done all that I was supposed to do over the past few months weeks, and, other than a few bits of tying off the loose ends and another era in my life has passed, another stepping stone reached.
While I feel the relief that comes with personal accompishments it is ballanced with an excitement even of
what the future will bring, life is, and should be, an
adventure, in the same way that a video game has many chapters toward comletion, each level providing opportunities to upgrade, to increase health and knowledge ultimately leading to a point of achievement, (normally in the destruction of some creature borne of the immagination of another artist) in my case that battle is my exhibition; with each one comes the beginning of a new journey of discovery.

On sunday the fruits of my journey will be gone from my walls and in its place a blank canvas that will be ready for new works, that along with a sort of spiritual clearance for want of other words, clearing the atmosphere that has grown around recent work inspirations only then can I start to work towards tomorrow, I am in Scotland at the end of the week attending my sessions at Combat Stress by the time I return after a week I will be as distant from the now that, other than the fact I have works being shared elsewhere, my mind will have returned to the void that surrounds normal life which, as an artist, is quite great in as much as normal life for me is the creative life and little else is of importance.
It is nice to have the time to write however, loose ends and creativity beckon, notwithstanding a stomach that has been deprived through no other reason than other stuff was more important !It was said that being an artist is both a blessing and a burden, I bow to the wisdom of that person and shake hands with those empathise.
