Sat 20th July 2019 Phoned artist Lil Sullvian to 'update'/NOTES: About work still remaining to do...

2 PM UPDATED ARTIST: LIL SULLIVAN, ABOUT LAST THURSDAY ART SESSION...WHEN ONLY ONE OTHER PERSON TURNED UP

Awoke. Decided to phone through to artist: Lil Sullivan in order to update her on how last Thursday's art session went.

I told her that I arrived there at 2:30 AM...and, nobody had turned up. Then, at 3 PM Lynne turned up...we did some drawing exercises: Blind contour drawing/discussed negative spaces/-etc.; also, practised doing some Origami. Lynne left at 4 PM. I stayed until 4:30 PM waiting for other people to turn up. When nobody arrived I gave up...and, went off to visit Tate Britain, instead.

Lil explained that she did leave me a message on my answer machine saying there would be no class that day...because she had to attend going elsewhere...a stroke conference/or, something like that. I replied, I did get the answer machine message only late.

I offered to do some more work on her web site, today; but, when she inquired of her black Jamaican boyfriend called, Ezra; -(he seems to be a nice enough guy, by the way; never been rude to me...always friendly and polite)-; they seem to have had a child together called, Tida...now a 'youth'. "Ezra, am I busy, today; I want to do my thing..." apparently, he answered, no. So, she said, "I'm busy"; and, I just left it there. Other people have their own schedule...and, are fully entitled to that...just as me I'm fully entitled to having mine...so, I don't feel in any way disrespected.

3 PM  FINISHED UPDATING THIS ONLINE DIARY...WONDERING WHAT TO DO WITH THE REST OF THE DAY...?

Frankly, after all that activity taking place last week, I still feel like sleeping...so, I think, I'll go straight back to sleep. I could go off and visit a gallery...but, that would mean having to go wash/get dressed/and, then, cycle for possibly miles...both all the way there/then, all the way back, again. Not too sure I'm feeling up to it? Today, I might just, simply, 'rest and recover'; then, go out tomorrow on Sunday, instead.

6:30 PM GOTTA CHANGE DIET/BEEN EATING WAY TOO MUCH SWEETS

Woke up, again; still feeling slightly tired. Made a pint mug of tea/and, also, downed a whole entire packet of Jacob's Chocolate digestives...not good for my insides, I know; but, nevertheless, I couldn't quite resist it. It's like one biscuit followed by another...and, so on...; then, before you know it...the whole entire packet of biscuits is all gone...and, you're left with just the 'empty' outer wrapper.

7 PM BEEN TRYING TO STUDY LEARNING MORE ABOUT 'AFFILIATE MARKETING'

Right now, I been listening to 'affiliate marketing' videos on YouTube. I always wanted to learn 'how to make money online'; though, frankly, I never ever did. Sometimes, I can stay there and listen to YouTube videos, all day/night long...on any particular given subject; but, then, at the end of the day, I still feel I didn't actually get up and do absolutely anything to 'change'.

TO DO LIST...

BEEN THINKING ABOUT UPDATING/CREATING WEB SITES FOR ARTIST LIL SULLIVAN

As I've already explained to Lil...basically, there are two different sorts of web sites:-

a> Internal 'private' web site, add pages:
   - contacts/address/phone numbers/timetable/-etc.

b> External 'public' web site, join WordPress
   - add bio/photos: personal pic/artworks

All of this work is being done for Lil entirely for FREE; my own benefits are...

1> I have the opportunity to work using an Apple Mac computer...and, get more familiar with how to use that particular operating system.

2> I learn more about what are my own web site creation skills...are they truly 'professional'/or, not...; and, in what way do those skills still need further updating...?

3> I get to witness seeing how a truly 'professional' artist works/and, also, presents stuff. Both her artworks/and, also, presentation text wise: artist statements are truly top notch.

GALLERY SHOWS I WOULD LIKE TO GO AND SEE...AT SOME POINT IN FUTURE

2> 198 Gallery, Brixton
3> Gallery near Damien Hurst shop, Vauxhall
4> Tate Britain, Pimlico
5> Tate Modern, Borough.
6> White Cube, London Bridge
7> The Courtauld Institute Gallery, Blackfriars Bridge
8> Saatchi Gallery, Sloane Square.
9> Victoria & Albert Museum, Knightsbriddge.
10> The Royal Academy of Arts, Piccadilly
11> The Serpentine Gallery, Hyde Park.
12>  The Wallace Collection/behind Oxford street
13> The Barbican Art Gallery, Barbican.
14> Whitechapel Art Gallery, Whitechapel
15> Explore seeing/visiting West End Galleries a lot more

CONCLUSION:  There are many more galleries out there for me to go and explore finding/seeing...it's just that I haven't been going out all that much, regularly, of late; so, I tend to witness seeing far less.
