    Once again Inspiring work Andrew.

    Rob, The cost of the inflatables from Inflate are huge. There are loads of smaller manufacturers who love to get involved in smaller projects. I recently had an inflatable column made (4m high)with velcro stiched into it. It was used in an exhibition hall. We wrapped a digital print around it so the stand was visible from all over. We Rented the column and sold the banner with velcro to stitch to the column. Simple but effective and great margin. I’ll dig out the pic.

    I would not start work in the school until after my days work…He was working in his room [late as well] with a thin line [painted and vinyl] and a huge compass type thing…..Enjoyed talking to him…very interesting although I think it’s all going to be a bit lost when all the kids go in on Monday…His installations look great in white rooms….

    He also did furniture and sculpture work….clever guy 😀 😀 😀

    Art is the only serious thing in the world. And the artist is the only person who is never serious.

    andrew, how are you? look busy i see 😛
    that school looks amazing 😮
    its always good to get work that makes you think, instead of the usual mundane stuff that kicking around just now. keeps the bills away but isnt much of a challenge.
    hope to speak to you soon.
