Artist at Heart

Times of transition are always exciting, and this time I'm moving forward by going back to doing things I love. Like animating, sewing and radio where I can say what I think and play what I want. I'm learning new digital tools as I want to start making artwork for our walls, and am entering my author, animator, and full time artist era. After years of teaching or writing about art, business and technology I finally have some time to to be creative myself.

This is the first time in years that I have an opportunity to add layers to our space, as we settle in to start running the Twisted Radio & TV station from our studios for the next few years. If all goes well we will be back on air next month with new shows and a kickass new website using Silverstripe.

Chelfyn is mixing up a VJ show for Sebastian Wild's set for Kinky Slinky at Studio with Lee Haslam, Kyle Bourke (Live), Justin Sane, Crisis and other local DJs. I have just printed the first draft of my book for proofing before I start scanning photos and crew passes from the past 20 years . The book is called Misfits & MsBehaviour and is about my crazy journey from New Zealand to the UK and back again. I'm tired of telling my story to people as I know the plot backwards, so I thought I'd write it all down and let them read if for themselves if they are interested.

Best of all is I finally have the time this month to turn the MsBehaviour Files into an animated series while we re-build Twisted. We played around with some fun animation techniques while making the g33k show last year which I'm going to use to turn my columns for the Big Idea into virtual tours for creative entrepreneurs.

So my intention is to be Making and Crafting as much as I can from this year. My heart's desire right now is a 3D printer in my studio so I can print the things in my head. I'm having more fun right now than I have in a long time.
