New Order - Temptation
This song is the most essential component to my festival soundtrack 2010.
I love it.
We knew the answers and we shouted them like anthems...
So, the Edinburgh festival is almost over for another year. And tonight, for the first time, I've noticed how the nights are drawing in again. Summer is almost over...as is my time in Edinburgh.
It's exactly a month until I start my new chapter in Newcastle and hopefully make myself employable. It's exciting and terrifying all at once.
Anyway, some Summer '10 so far:

"Hello, is it me you're looking for?"
Hello!
After a month of being terrible and not posting anything new, I have finally got round to publishing some work and taken the time out to write about where I am at, at the minute.
Firstly, below are a few examples of work I did, mainly during my time at Telford College, in my Illustration course. I (for pretty much the first time ever) am really happy with the way my portfolio looks at the moment, so am happy to show a few examples on here, with a lot more uploaded on my Facebook page if anyone is interested.
Also, because things have been so hectic, I thought I would explain what I am up to now, and for the next year...
NEWCASTLE:
Well, I have been accepted to do a postgrad course at Newcastle University, working towards an MA Art Museum and Gallery qualification. I am absolutely delighted, although terrified! I am going to be very, very busy for the next year or so as a result, but am determined to keep my drawing, painting and illustration work up to speed, and this blog seems like a good place to log everything I get up to. So stay tuned!
LATEST PROJECT:
I am at the beginning stages of an illustration project - a Scottish fairy tale adventure story - and am really excited about it!
I have been asked to initially create character illustrations for the story, which, if approved, will perhaps lead to me creating images throughout the book, and would result in my first paid commission and independent Illustration project!! :D
I will definitely update on this as soon as it is underway. I'm too excited to keep it to myself!
Goodnight world

Mindless Self Indulgence
Just because this is MY blog, and only mine. And I like lists:
TEN THINGS ABOUT ME:
1. My name is Geraldine Mary Jack. I love my name.
2. I am probably one of the nosiest, chattiest people you will ever meet.
3. That being said, I am also tremendously moody and stubborn at times.
Only the people I love most really see that side though. Which sucks for them. But hopefully, in a round-about way, they know I love them 'cause of this?
4. Things that turn me on most are the visual arts and good music. And long walks by myself. I love watching the world go by.
5. I think i'm a bit of a hippie at heart.
6. I really wish I was still in a band.
7. I am a spendaholic. I love clothes, books, cds, stationary, coffee and cake WAY too much.
8. I consider myself a typical Gemini. I'm constantly in conflict with myself. I drive myself crazy!
9. "All you need is love." I agree.
10. Things haven't turned out the way I planned really. Whatever happens, I hope the ending is a happy one.

An Introduction
My name is Geraldine and I like to draw.
I have set up this blog to exhibit my current portfolio of Illustration-based art work, with the hope of eventually setting up my own website.
I'd love to start my first entry with something really creative and profound, but I am sleepy, so I will wait until I am a little more creatively charged before I try and achieve this.
Bisous,
Gee x
