No time, no time..

Posted by admin on July 3, 2009  |  No Comments

I haven’t disappeared off the face of my blog - I’m so busy with other work right now I have had NO time to do any designing. Driving me mad, I’m itching to open up Illustrator and get creative. But.. unless I work all night it’s not going to happen.

However, I did get to work and play at Glastonbury festival last weekend. I was VJing for the Rabbit Hole, described as “Visited by the adventurous and run by lunatics, it falls somewhere between Monty Python, the X Factor and a badly out of control genetic experiment”. They’re not wrong..
It was good fun, and inbetween I managed to see Neil Young (phenomenal), Red Snapper, Easy Star All Stars, Amadou and Mariam and even a bit of Tom Jones (actually I fell asleep during Amadou and Mariam’s set then woke up surrounded by screaming Tom Jones fans and then couldn’t escape).

Here’s me having tea at my tent..

Ok, a bit of a rant here. I’ve just realised Melsbrushes is getting around 5000 visitors a week, plenty of sales, but practically no visitor comments. Is it all just ‘take take take’ with you lot? It would be great to find out a bit more about my visitors! Stats can only tell [...]
