Village of the Sun
Who can work under crystal clear blue skies and a bright sun? Holidays back home are almost done and I do wish I had another 4 weeks here. Although I did bring my sketchbook and books to read for my dissertation I have done none of it. Sure I attempted to read, tried very hard. But the sun is calling out my name (and my phone is ringing) and I end up having a pint or coffee (or both) under the sunny Cyprus sky.
There have been work developments ofcourse although they appeared in an unexpected, unpredictable way that made them almost being part of the fun process.
Fishbone Records owner and friend asked me, over a cup of coffee, to redesign his websites. He is the guy that managed our concert a couple of days ago. The outcome was quite successful and he has made an offer to sign us up to his record label. That means after 12 years of struggle we get a chance to get into a proper studio without time restrictions to make a proper album. Friends exchanging services really, but with the money thing involved also.
Met up with an old friend from SAE in Athens, who now owns a company that does rentals and sales of audio equipment for live events. He asked me to do a couple of websites for him and we're meeting up tomorrow so I can get his logos and company info.
And another friend working in an estate developers company suggested I look into doing advertisements and 3d design for their architectural blueprints. She says she prefers having someone who is a trustworthy friend and has good communication with than outsourcing the work to foreign companies.
There is also my work with the meditation exercises for ROT.
I'm not sure whether the above are what the client proposal brief requires. Undecided on which one to focus on for the client proposal. For example at the time being I have no contact with the administrator of ROT as she is in Germany doing seminars. Doing the work for Fishbone Records will give me the opportunity for better dialogue and communication with the client and is less secretive than the ROT one. Indeed there's not much time left now with about a week and a half until deadline but I prefer pressuring over the last week than losing precious sun rays. On that note, I smell coffee...

Im with you man, been sunning it up in Espagne, have to return to grey old England tonight.
ReplyDeleteAs far as client proposal goes, i think its a very flexible brief, due to writing as an industry and profession the majority of mine's made up of research and explanation, with some correspondance between myself and clients. When's it in for? A week tomorrow? ill probably see you Monday, lets try and bring some sunshine with us!
