2009 - The year of “Permanent Resolution”

Published by captspacebat at 5:56 pm under Antiques, Art, BPD, General, Money, Politics Edit This

Apologies to Leon Trotsky for the title; probably not his first pick … oh dear, the year has descended into bad joke territory already and it’s still only the first day of January.

As previously indicated, I have made some resolutions for the year ahead.  Unlike most previous unattainable lists in earlier years, this one will be different: it will be victorious and under permanent review.  You lucky folks will be the beneficiaries of my reviewing of my performing; in other words, I shall update you all with my diurnal progress within these very pages.

I shall achieve at least some progress on at least one item in the list each day:

Resolutions action list - today’s performance:

    1. Get published:
      Worked on collating source material. Made difficult by decadent capitalist so-called-Bank Holiday; more tomorrow when things start opening; probably delays until Monday at the earliest when everyone returns from extended Saturnalian debauches a.k.a. Winter holidays.
    2. Get exhibited:
      Discussed options for latest painting: Salon 57, based on abandoned Eurostar terminal at Waterloo, Salon 54, EXAT 51 and the EEC in 1957.
      Further consideration of next multimedia work: 7/7/7, an exploration of extremism.
      Both works to be made available - original, prints & digital versions - to the world at large via http://www.galleries-online.co.uk/gallery/ianspringham and http://www.sansseraphim.co.uk/
    3. Get rich(er) &/or better:
      Found a buyer for a Victorian brooch at http://www.2centuriesantiques.co.uk/
      Decision on writing my daily progress online so I and everyone else can watch my progress with awe, wonder and astonishment.
    4. Get out of the United Kingdom before the Olympics:
      Left message for someone wanting to move out of central London to see if they wanted to swap with a bijou pad in south west London.  Okay, not out of the country, but at least somewhere more in tune with my future endeavours - a stepping stone.  I didn’t expect to be able to emigrate today, or even this week.

More “travails with my Art” tomorrow …
