No entries for a few days because I’ve been on a short break to the seaside. It was restorative. Folkestone was a pleasant surprise. A lot of public art along the sea front, most of a much higher quality than you probably imagine.
While away, I had an idea that I’m keen to get going on. I could not sleep when I thought of it, but that might be the combination of a stuffy hotel room and too much pizza. I sketched out a design and wrote a first draft on my phone.
Some preliminary tests for said book today.
Email heavy day, contacting exhibition organisers and sending invoices. Sometimes admin is incredibly validating.
Looked through last redraft of short story. Some tightening needed, but it’s getting there. On to the fifth serious draft and the meaning of it’s still coming out.
Doing some costing on the board book, trying to determine the right number to make that will cover costs (including the many prototypes). Sourcing equipment is also a factor. Have been putting feelers out for access to machinery needed to make it nice. Not perfect, maybe, but nice.
Have lost my notecards and can’t put new projects up on the board. Calamity.
