Showcase - quick update


As usual, a perfectly executed photograph by myself... you get the picture though.

So, Showcase. A really interesting and worthwhile experience, met some great new creative peeps, and overall a really worthwhile, albeit expensive experience. It has focused me more on where I need to move forward, but it's also reminded me of the importance of taking time off. I had been focused on this show for 6-8 weeks, full throttle, so it's time to 'work clever'. Preparing a few orders for next week, and updating the website, more aware that the down-time is just as important as the full-on, up-for-it, work-work-work, which up until now has been all the time.

Right, siesta time!

Showcase teasers


As I mentioned in my last blog entry, The Printing Rooms will be at Showcase, RDS next week, stand B31, City Enterprise area. Promised a brief new entry with some teaser images (teaser is code for really really bad photographs) of the new products I'll have, and here we go, three pics!

Show-ho-ho-Case 2012

As I didn't get around to updating the blog pre-Christmas, I thought I'd add a little Christmas cheer (a bit late, I know... or early maybe) with an occasional ho-ho-ho. So after a very brief hiatus (Christmas day), I have started cracking on with preparations for a whole new range of prints which I will be, ahem showcasing at Showcase. This is a trade-only event, but should give me a great idea of where to progress and what to progress.

Showcase kicks off at the RDS on Sunday, 22nd (that's months away, right? right?) and goes on for 4 days. Looking forward to it (nervously, ho-ho..no), as this will be my first big-scale fair. I won't say I'm ready (I'm not), but I'm not too far off.

Wish me luck, there will be a definite lull in communications over the next few weeks, although will try and send through a few teasers pics!

(oh, and Happy New Year!)
