Careers

In my lifetime so far I've had many jobs in my mere not-quite-full 23 years mostly jobs that I've never been to fussed about; Supermarkets, Clothes shops, Cafes, Call centres, Chocolate shops a Leisure spa...heck I even volunteered at a charity shop and a school just for the craic. If I didn't know any better, also taking into consideration I only escaped...I mean, graduated from an art degree last year that this is rather a lot of jobs for your average not-quite-full-23 year old. And if my employers didn't know any better (which they obviously don't) I'm rather lousy at sticking to one profession because I can't feel that passion that I think I'm meant to feel. Well as far as I know anyway. But this evening, a mere three hours ago or less, I decided the career I want.... Alternative christmas card designer! Here is an example which I made for my friend.



On top of all the festive craft activities I've been getting into recently. I also made a most excellent purchase today while mooching around Redcar town, Have a look...




isn't it just wonderful!

I'm going to give it to my friend Claire who is currently doing a seasonal job in the Lake District, it's just quite fitting for the lake district setting what with the sheep and the mountains and the clouds.

Not only does the town Redcar have a weird name but it is also a weird place. Something I noticed while walking around is that they have a lot of boarded up or disused buildings with little chance of them becoming anything of importance. The council or government whoever is in charge of these matters have tried to resolve this issue, in what appears to be an attempt to spruce up the aesthetic potential of this forlorn seaside town by spending as little money as possible. What they so cleverly have come up with is merely using a painted scene of what we can only IMAGINE Redcar would ever look like maybe in our wildest dreams. For example...



It's not quite Las Vegas but just for a second, a mere second, they certainly fooled me into thinking they'd built a nice little beach-side terrace but then my hopes and dreams were crushed when you turn around and see a man chasing after pigeons and trying to kick them in their innocent little faces.
