Working with Sandy, or "Mr Excitement" as we all call him in the studio has been such a privilege. He's a true legend; I remember watching him on Sponge My Family and Maim The Celebrity and wondering how he got to be so incredibly successful. And now I'm sharing a screen with him.
Now that we have our very own blog, I'm looking forward to keeping you updated on what's been going through my head.

I've recently received an Arts Council Grant to explore the viability of floor art in a post-modernistic world. Having used up the initial £32,000 tranche in examining Roman mosaic in bistros throughout the northern Mediterranean I've been able to conclude that:
ReplyDeleteThe bistros are rarely run by real Romans
The floors are very cold, particularly when you wake up on them following a long night in a Northern Mediterranean bistro
The latter conclusion has led me to explore other flooring media. Having tried toilet tissue, liquid nitrogen, compressed fish waste and a startled and sadly deceased leveret* with somewhat variable success, I am now seeking support from a wider range of material providers.
I am informed by The Arts Council that the next stage of my project will be considered for funding under the following criteria:
That I attract support from a commercial organisation
That I report to them in writing at relevant periods, preferably no more frequently than once per decade
When Hell freezes over
I would like to enquire whether an approach to Burofloor on one or more of these conditions would be viewed sympathetically

*RQSOnline and Burofloor would like to point out that no hares, leverets, rabbits or other leporids are used in the production of our carpet tiles**
**Except in exceptional circumstances, such as a shortage of bush babies.
