Well, it's been awhile, hasn't it?

Although my writing isn't coming along great, my other work is progressing. As you can see I've started doing acrylics and I hope to keep this going, I have a few more as my brother and sister in law saw the first one in the kitchen and asked if I could make some for them, before they go back to America, in approx two weeks. Ho hum! Anyway, yeah I'm also working on a large A3 drawing which I will also upload, it's looking pretty badass but I don't want to ruin it for you

OH OH OH. My course. Wellll, let me tell you about my course! I handed in my first assignment last Tuesday, and on Monday got a call from my tutor (as I'm not around (at home) to go to the study week meeting in college) saying I passed (thank goodness) however... I got such a high merit that I've been allowed my reflective journal back to expand on one small element and get a distinction! A distinction! Fancy that, a distinction on the first assignment of the first term of the year. Things are going well, apparently my work was of such high quality, it was only the journal that was -slightly- lacking the top grade. Considering I was up to 4:30am the night before I hope so, I was so meticulous with the assignment, I sort of hoped my effort showed. We had to do an A3 Text composition, A2 Object Composition (see Michael Craig-Martin), A3 Montage Exploration, 6 Photograms and 5 Photographs (for photography exploration). Then to finish it off, FIFTEEN A6 pieces which were combinations of 2 or more of the styles we explored. Some of the A6s I spent as much as 3 or 4 hours making. One of them I spent an hour for just making a weave of cut strips of a magazine article. Whew. I can assure you this isn't bragging or boasting, more surprise at my own ability. It seems nobody else has a distinction, which means I may be the only one. I've gone from living life at the bottom of my class to being at the top of my class in the matter of two months of it.

So yes, that's good isn't it? Let's all relax with a glass of ale and watch the tv. What's on the tv tonight? Dust? Oh, my my, we have a comedian in the room.

I'm so tired.

See huge spoons

much love, jeremy
