Proposal for a neon text piece for Lincoln Central train station

I've been doing a lot of things this year, it's been an adventure.

And thoughts turn to ideas for art projects I'd do if I were commissioned.

Several thoughts have merged for this.

One is a desire to use neon, travels on trains, train stations, and Tracey Emin's piece at St. Pancras, but with my own concepts and research.

So I've been playing with some conceptual ideas for neon text works for Lincoln Central train station. All concepts copyright the artist.

These have come off the back of an application for some funding that wasn't successful for some more exciting commissions to greet residents and visitors to Lincoln.

"And our heroes have misplaced their map"

Another spin on a proposal I've had in mind for a couple of years now.

Re-imagined as a neon text piece.

This piece based on The Midnight lyrics, pop culture, and references Lincoln's unique skies, local photographers capturing the beauty of sunsets, and the Cathedral on the hill.

The Midnight lyrics - Lost Boy - references nostalgia for lost magic, and also the Cathedral, shining like fool's gold on top of the hill.

Slightly different contextual pop culture reference, lyrics from Nina's 80's Girl captures the romance of train stations, of meeting long lost lovers, and 1980's romance.

Arts On Prescription

This recent article is everything.

Pay us!! Pay disabled artists, pay artist carers, pay for respite, and stop expecting so much for so little and then blowing a massive fake trumpet about how great it is.
Because yes, the arts is great, that's why I aspired to be an artist, but so are doctors and nurses, and they at least get paid for doing great things.

Tate Modern

After about two months of waiting, I've only just got paid for the Disgustoscope workshops! So, despite a recent rejection that would've paid for this trip, I went to London to meet a client, and used the opportunity to visit the Tate. Which is silly, as technically, I'm still on strike. 

The same as the amount of successful arts grant applications I've had.

However, I have a sneaky feeling that finally, somethingood will come of this trip, but I don't want to jinx it, as I've recently had another proposal rejection for Peace Painting.

Just to clarify, dear readers, I do not write blogs or social media content for others for free. I keep my own blogs, for my own work, but if you'd like content for your website or blog, you need to pay me some money for my time, the same way you would pay a plumber to not fit your dishwasher, and the same way a taxi driver will charge me £8 because he couldn't be bothered to wait.

Basically, my work is not free for others to take. 

I'm not a charity, or a library, and stealing content is theft.

These women remind me of mannequins. Creepy mannequins. And a lady pointed out that they still have their shoes on.
