no good comes of procrastinating...

I should be starting the Jumis illustration for the Italian exhibition (it has to be in Italy by the end of June, and I should be worried...). I sketched out the composition yesterday and my paper is stretched and ready, but instead I'm in a harping mood and have been struggling once more with Phil Cunningham's Monday Morning Reel.

Now my procrastination (and Googling) has turned up this - and I feel like chucking my harp on the skip! Catriona led a workshop for us (my day job) in February; she is amazing. I have never met anyone who is quite so enthusiastic about her instrument and music generally. Maybe if I practice daily for the next 100 or so years...

illustrative schizophrenic and gaelic pronunciation

I've moved on to the next project. I'd like to do a series of cards/prints based on seasons and weather. My style is constantly evolving and changing, I don't know if that's a result of keeping going with design, portraits and illustration at the same time? I'd like to think you can still tell it's my work but then sometimes wonder if I'm just an illustrative schizophrenic!

It's my last day of work tomorrow [I handed in my notice three weeks ago] and I start my new job on Monday. I'm completely hyper tonight - so excited! - I've worked there for 11 years and I'm just itching for a change. Will have to start swotting up on my traditional Scottish musical instruments and gaelic pronunciation!
