We laid some floorboards in the loft and I got to be a pretty mean chick with a circular saw and a jigsaw. I made a sketch up there this morning, but didn't have time to finish it before Stuart was ready to start work. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/loft1-63a794e912.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nI always think lofts and attics are such amazing spaces. It's so strange how we generally hide away the most beautiful architecture in the whole building. \\r\n\\r\nLast night I went with \u003Ca href=\"http://www.sueeves.com\">Sue Eves\u003C/a> to the \u003Ca href=\"http://www.illustrationcupboard.com\">Illustration Cupboard\u003C/a> to see the MA degree show for Cambridge School of Art (\u003Ca href=\"http://www.anglia.ac.uk/ruskin/en/home/faculties/alss/deps/csoa/staff/salisbury.html\">Martin Salisbury\u003C/a>'s group). The work turned out to be very traditional, but there were some nice pieces there. I liked a series of fantastical bull terrier pictures by \u003Cb>Daniel Barry\u003C/b>, slightly reminiscent of \u003Ca href=\"http://magicpencil.britishcouncil.org/artists/barrett/\">Angela Barrett\u003C/a>'s work, but he doesn't have a website. \u003Ca href=\"http://www.jennifer-miles.com\">Jennifer Miles\u003C/a> had some interesting pieces, as did \u003Cb>Joanna Walker\u003C/b>. But again, no website. I can't believe people go to all the trouble of putting up a postgraduate degree show and printing all these publicity postcards without at least building a basic web page, or somewhere people can refer to their work online. I mean, even a single page on \u003Ca href=\"http://www.livejournal.com\">LiveJournal\u003C/a> or \u003Ca href=\"https://www.blogger.com\">Blogger\u003C/a> would be better than nothing. You'd think it would be a course requirement.","2008-02-08T15:21:00.000Z","loft-magic",[],"loft magic",1776628722367]
