I Got In!!!

Filed Under: The Usual Rant
God Save the Queen!!!
After more than a week of digesting the good news I’m still awestruck that I’ve been offered placement into a Master’s program out in the United Kingdom. This was literally years in the making. The course is a yearlong program concentrating in graphic design at the London College of Communication and I’m scheduled to start 1/11/06. However, due to financial considerations I may have to postpone my enrollment until 2007, but either way I do plan to attend the school.
This is all very exciting to me, as it will open a door to traveling and living abroad as I have dreamed of doing for so many years now. And it just may prove to be the neccesary catalyst to steer my design career towards creating & sustaining more fulfilling and worthwhile projects. A HUGE SHOUT OUT goes to Susi & CPW for all of their love, support and encouragment over these past 12+ months. And a special mention goes to Andy Maniotes for his helpful insights into the LCC and for his unsolicited, but generous, recommendation.

Congratulations JAiM-bot! Make sure your hair is fully frizzed out when riding the tube, so you can get maximum exposure as an artist. And I know you’ll have plenty of sleepless nights thinking about all the Bowen busts and statues coming out here that you’ll need to pick up.

Well, you have beaten me to getting into grad school so for that you get a big shout out. For christ’s sake why don’t I have the “get up and go” that JJP Has… All hail master Pulley!

Thanks for all the kind words folks. It really means a lot.
You’re certainly more than welcome to join me out in London for some fish & chips if you ever decide to visit.
For my New York peeps I’ll be back in town for the last week of ‘05 through the first week of the new year before heading across the Atlantic, so let’s try to catch up then, k?
cheers.

JJ, Congrats! You’ve worked really hard this past year to make this opportunity happen…and it has, that’s great! You’re a great example that it’s never too late to go back to school, travel and to just keep on reaching. Let’s hope that this new time difference works better…the late night calls are killing me
