I was a bit underwhelmed by the UAL 'Showcase' platform - it seems a bit clunky, and the fact that it's only live for a year seems, well, a bit 1990s. Nevertheless, I thought I should take every chance to promote my stuff.
tl;dr; I kinda got into it, and it made me want to dig up my unloved website and get it into a presentable state.
I was a bit unsure what to put as the 'main project', given that Open Casket is unlikely to be photographable until the final show - it will be finished before, but unless I rent a space to photograph it in (which maybe I could! I live next to a community hall that would work at a push), then I'm not going to have decent images till after the deadline. In the end, I plumped for my 'frosted face', which I better give a name to, and come up with some words to describe!
I added "A Month in my Head" as a second project, and used the same text as I just submitted to an open call.
I have to admit, even at this early stage, it actually looks a lot slicker than I had expected. I'm actually quite enjoying it.
I've had a half-finished website at https://www.tomgrey.net/ for a while - I should really dust it off and finish it - I think I worried too much about how to sort my stuff, but now I'm not expecting to sell it, I think I can worry a lot less and focus on informing, not selling...
