Happy Sun-day - Grotto Print Done

 Got three copies of my Grotto print gilded and ready to go:

Overall I'm pleased with how it's turned out, and it makes me want to explore a series of very constrained variations, preserving many of the original features (e.g. the size and position of the circle, the use of perlin noise warping, the use of gold), but seeing how many different variants I can make before I get bored and/or boring.

Instagram loves a regular 'feature' so, given they remind me of the sun reflected on water or obscured by mist, I plan to post one every Sunday with the tag line 'Happy Sun-day'.

My Article on Art as Play published in the Postgraduate Community Newsletter

 The Postgraduate Community were kind enough to share my survey on their newsletter, so I thought it would be fun to write-up the results and share them as an article, which they were happy to also publish:

It was fun to be a small part of the postgraduate community, and I figure it's good publicity for the course, and potentially for me also ;)
