Exhibition Aftermath
Well, the folio gallery exhibition is over, visitors have come and went. It all began at around 7:00pm, a few people turned up to look at our artwork, and I did overhear many compliments coming from them.
About 20 minutes after, the area was packed, there were at least 35 people in the folio, and it was so pleasing to see a great turnout.
About 40 minutes after, the crowd started to dissipate, and the exhibition was beginning to be over.
A very good showing, it wasn't my first exhibition, but it was definitely one of my best, something that I am grateful to have been a part of.

Exhibition day
Today is the day of the big folio gallery exhibition. All is set for the press, and for the viewers to come in and to take a look at our hard work.
Very excited for today, can't wait until 6:00pm tonight, as that is when the exhibition begins. I will post an update to the blog, after the exhibition, detailing what happened.
-----------------------
Brief Update: The event is about to begin, in a mere 20 minutes, about to go down to the folio, and begin showcasing mine and my groups very hard work.

Gallery Project Complete
Yesterday, the people and character mural in the folio art gallery space, that myself and my group have worked on for two weeks, was finally completed.
As a recap to what the mural consists of, the piece contains various elements of hartlepool's culture, and maritime history, as well as environment. It has a number of different people and characters inside the ink-printed bottles, which are situated on the wall. The fisherman on the pier, who is 'fishing the bottles out', is Sophie's character, and I really love what she has done. Her style is rough, but fits the aggressive brush strokes of the sea.
The gallery exhibition is on november the 18th, and I will be attending, with two guests. I can't wait to see what they, and the press think of our accomplished hard work. I am very excited.

(The piece as of last thursday, unfinished)
