this time last week I was sat in our shop dealing with the hustle 'n' bustle of the Queens birthday long weekend, and contemplating all that was in store for me in the week to come. I remember feel like some freaky experiment where I was being kept captive and made to work with out a break for what seemed like years. Of course I could get off the treadmill anytime, but everytime I see a break on the horizon the road ahead just stretches out again and I keep going.
Last week was a classic example.

Day off, YES! watched a documentary on the photographer David Bailey and drew and finished a new print. Then RING RING! RING RING! it was Clair on the phone and it was only 11.30am. Could I come and help organize the furniture being deliveredfor a photo shoot on the friday. That was then end of my day off.
Thursday 16th
Drove to Flinders to pick up cushion inserts, then to the loaction to carry on helping Clair.
Friday 17th
Up at 6.30am to load cars with props then off to the loaction for the photo shot. Worked all day on the shoot, and loaded car back up with props at 6.30pm

In shop writing this blog post.
So as you can see, the road just keeps stretching out in front of me. Next Thurs-Sun we're
doing a Warehouse sale at Tractor Home's warehouse in the city. ( see map and add below).
Clair and I don't really have any warehouse stock to shift as we hand print everything. So next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I'll be printing stock to sell at a Warehouse sale that apart from sample cushions, will all be stock that I don't need to discount or shift to make way for new stock? I'm sure that it'll be a worth while few days though.
If you read this blog post and you're in the City next week please pop in and say hello, I know that Tractor Home will have some cool African stuff on sale, and we'll be worth a check to.
I've managed to draw 4 new designs in the last week too, and here they are.
'We're all the same until we get labeled'
'Plastic People'
'Art Teacher'
'Excuse Me! Where did you get that scarf?'
