Tate in Ten

A one day trip to London.. quick, slow quick, quick-quick-quick!..


primarily to see one of our own CCAD students exhibiting at Texprint at Chelsea College of Art, and also to attend a number of seminars with speakers including some eminent people from Pantone (ooo) and WGSN...
However, what I would like to highlight here is how much inspiration you can get from a mere 10 minutes by looking at 'wow standard' stuff!
Who is this? Argh.
Having a tiny amount of spare time at the end of the day, just before running(!) for our train back 'up North' we popped into Tate Britain for a quick look (by the way Mick Hucknall was in there too)...and after a perusal in the shop legged it to one of the free entry galleries...
Apart from the quality of the photography (understandable in the circumstances), I'm sure that you'll get the 'ooooo' and 'I need to paint' factors too..
