    For me personally, this change in business model for Adobe couldn’t have come at a better time.

    Launching Art in the Ark… WordPress Site

    Just launched a wordpress site for the Art in the Ark exhibitions programme. Looking forward to posting some interviews, photos and video from the opening evening.

Everything seemed to converge on yesterday in particular, with AV requirements for two important meetings and the application deadline for the Spring Open Exhibition. So mixing the paperwork and the practical, hopping from desk to desk and juggling To-Do lists like no other! Must say that the [...]
