My son had a great opportunity to be part of a Youth Film Project at the Cowhouse Studios at the end of the Summer holidays. He had a great time working with the artist Michael Fortune and a group of young teenagers. He was involved in comic strip writing, animation and acting and really enjoyed the experience. It topped the holidays as there wasn't really a lot happening for this age group that didn't cost too much. This week long workshop was free as it was sponsored by many groups Wexford County Council etc.
With the recession firmly kicking in it was a time to become creative in finding things to do. We did a few car boot sales which was a lot of fun. You won't become a millionaire but it's amazing what people want, that you don't want. Interacting with people was funny as bartering is a big feature of a car booty or should I say haggling. A long tradition that was lost when the many stores invaded! I remember the days going to Spain on holidays and haggling the price, but with the introduction of the Euro that all stopped. Everyone likes to feel they get a bargain.
It was exciting having the Olympics to watch on the rainy days and there were lots of them.
I'm beginning to rattle my brain again in terms of the next body of art works, as I gave myself a nice long break after a very busy year in college.
