// i have also posted a slightly edited version of this on my own blog at http://reallybigroadtrip.com/thesubjects-adlww // I’ve just uploaded a whole bunch of the photos I took during #TheSubjects. I sent some of them through to ANAT be uploaded while I was ‘inside’ but they didn’t seem to make it onto the blog, sadly. I’ve been […]

As promised, i’ve uploaded all the drawings i made while in the lab, in the order in which i made them. WordPress won’t let me embed a flickr slideshow, so it’s here. Or you can view the set on flickr.

At this stage of the game what’s the one thing you have with you that you feel you really couldn’t do without? hmc Music was the biggest thing that saved my sanity and the other ‘band members’ in the subjects. They made it an enjoyable experience and if I didn’t have that camaraderie it would […]
