So it's been a lovely bonkers week, only some of which I remember.

Weds was the opening of the art exhibition. For those who've not read prior posts: I organised an art exhibition of my students and those in the photography and Fine Art departments. It wasn't without issue but it was a lovely show. The original plan had been for the tutors to follow it up with an exhibition of their own but, for one reason of another they mostly dropped out leaving me with a couple of weeks of exhibition venue to fill, if I wanted to. My workload should have dictated that I said no and that I'd pass but I'm a little bit too stubborn and stupid to do that. So I phoned around, got a few other artists to join in and then we had a magnificent 7 artists doing a lovely collaborative exhibition of everything from soft toys to coil guns, pen and ink to iPad art with fine art in between. Lovely stuff.





So we filled the room full of people, everyone seemed to have a very merry time and it was all lovely.

Thursday I don't really remember, Friday I taught for the morning, dashed up to London to buy an iPad 3 or two, dashed back, did youth group, got home to draw and was so tired I fell asleep almost instantly, which is where things more or less remain. Saturday and Sunday, father in laws birthday/Mothering Sunday notwithstanding, have been very dozy days.

(didn't take any photos of the iPad 3 dash - it was a little frenetic and I felt guilty about walking in and out of the store without having to queue - but I did take a couple of snaps at Chin Chins :) Also: tweeted the next image to a twitter contact which I hope entertained him in a q for a few seconds or so...)

Next on the list is next Saturday (photo and art walk around Camden Market - more of which later), the week after is the Hockney exhibition with my students and the world's first iPad and tablet only life drawing session...

So: lots on the menu over the next couple of weeks and then have a week COMPLETELY booked off. After that? We'll see. Still no idea on the iPad art book hitting the bookstore - the EIN/ITIN/SS4/w8-BEN/W7/US IRS/Apple accreditation side of things still being all ways up in the air - but stuff to come, that's for sure...
