This was my very first time at Thought Bubble! What a great day!

I had a great conversation with Howard about his project on Mythology. I was very intrigued by the images he produced and the uncommon insights he had gathered together around the topic. I bought my favourite print based on the sanctuary of Artemis. Howard told me the story of Athenian girls and the fierce mother bear of which the image was based upon. I must have looked very interested because I managed to get the booklet thrown in for free!
The stories behind many of the images are not particularly obvious but really make me emotionally connect to the true meaning of each piece, something I think can be very difficult to achieve.
This exchange made me feel motivated to create work on subjects that mean something to me personally, just as he had done, producing some beautiful results.
I did some damage! My bank account will not thank me but I had an inspiring day!
I was impressed to see some 2nd/3rd year LCA students selling some great work too. It made me very excited to be able to have similar opportunities in the progression of the course.
