Apply or not to apply?

So, after finishing any intense course no matter what subject the next bit is just as huge and time consuming as qualifying...applying for stuff!

Of course I'm now going to state that applying for stuff in the Fine Art world is tougher than any other because it's my blog so I'll cry if I want too! But seriously, you spend so much time looking for opportunities then trying to write proposals (for those of us who don't have 'portable' work to enter) and then sorting out images, CV's and cover letters. A big problem is that a lot of the opportunities charge to apply, I don't know anyone else who has to pay to apply for a job, do you?  Then so much is expected in the initial stages and I for one would much rather go and chat to someone about my ideas than put it down in a formal 'proper' way. I know some people hate interviews but I'd much rather go and talk than sit for hours trying to put into words what I'm trying to say when I have a an expressive face that could be helping get the idea across! Ha!

So, there's a few things I'm mulling over applying to at the moment, maybe I should be filling out forms rather than talking here....oh but we all love a good procrastination now don't we????

Anyway, I've decided to show some older work tonight, some drawings I haven't seen myself in a while. Someone has asked me to send some images of my drawings so I'm looking through some older folders from my time at The Cyprus College of Art. So here's a few...
