 I love a big shoot day! Very happy to have been asked to shoot the promos for LEOS Made in Dagenham. They will be performing at May Hall (Trent College) Long Eaton from the 8th - 12th April. Tickets here: Made in Dagenham is not a musical I'm familiar with so my concepts came from a run by session with my sister who is Assistant Director. I like my photos to tell a story and have a clear vibe to them so naturally I had a million questions for her (thanks for your patience Laura). I love a location shoot so much as there's always inspiration strikes from the surrounding area. Giant tire?! Amazing. Let's use it! I planned each shot individually with stick men doodles and a spreadsheet. On the day I ended up using... the stick men doodles. What can I say I'm a visual learner! Shoot days are ALWAYS rapid. The more people, the more shots? The faster time moves! Planning each shot saved my butt. I'd like to take a moment to thank my human guineapig Lilly for standing in so I could quickly test each area for a.) are you being blinded by the sun? b.) can i see you The usual. Many thanks for everyone who also brought me the chair or my stick I left behind during creative, chaotic flow mode TM. There were shots we couldn't get and people missing and time running out etc - the usual so to that I have my favourite phrase: Always aim for perfect and be happy with good enough. The weather was on our side and the cast were excellent sports. We had a good laugh and I am absolutely looking forward to seeing the show! That reminds me. I need to book my tickets!  Best way to cure any camera nerves - make 'em laugh.

The decision to get back into the driving seat of ZDAAP came creeping back in over the course of leaving my last job and staring into the abyss of LinkedIn almost every damn day, It's the prize question, "What would you do if money were no object". Well my dude, I would paint. Usually you imagine that no object means you have it - turns out it means when you've not got any money too. So we go to Mystic Pudding Night (obviously) and I pull labradorite, pink lilies and the ace of swords. And I have no idea if these energy readers are just sharing my LinkedIn status with each other in between sessions but the main theme definitely is: "Career. Do it. Stop hiding", I love tarot for that - always calling you out on your stuff. Then comes the Outdoor Table Chat with the harshest reality check unofficial life coach (love you), unsuspecting family members and my long-time client extraordinaire. And the sun is shining. And it feels like winter is melting away. And I take the verbal leap of saying, "I'm giving this another go". And I'm off. And this time - I'm actually making a plan... I cannot just adhd my way through business once more. So, if you're here or you're there (socials, craft fairs, cheering from the sidelines) - I'm available for your art needs. Commissions for paintings, murals, photography, gifts - get in touch - HERE Or you can stalk me at these places: You can now find me over at Patreon (including an explanation of what the hell Patreon is) - HERE Where I'll be posting some snazzy stuff for your eyeballs only. It's a work in progress but I'm excited! I'll be posting to my Youtube - HERE Theatre poster comissions - HERE And of course Insta and FB. And I would like to pop up in your emails if you'll let me - to keep you updated - HERE  Dale asked if reorganising my space counted as work... yes?
