I've just put up my first blog post, i think i did it right its a bit tricky with these big fingerless feet of mine. and ive been browsing the internet and considering the way in which art on the internet can be easily interacted with. As an artist and film maker i really appreciate what youtube has done to the world of film. now anyone can make a film and post it online and reach a massively diverse audience. Be sure to check out the film 'Gwillam' (parts one and two) and leave a comment, get involved be critical its easier than ever before.

i am undecided as to whether this ease of communication with the artist helps or hinders the construction of an appropriate and thought provoking dialogue about a piece. so i challenge you to prove that the system works, get people talking.

Begginings
Hi there everyone!! yes its me Gwillam. firstly let me tell you about my journey on that fateful day down by the river...
It was all going so nicely Rob and I were going for a little trip to the river when my foot slipped off the railing it wasnt Rob's fault he definately didnt push me! I thought it was the end my whole life flashed before my eyes as I hit the cold water. I really thought i was a gonner. The current was so fast it dragged me down stream for hours, i was very cold and damp but i managed to grab on to a log.
I was washed up on the bank of the river Arie in a little place called Ferrybridge some twenty miles from Leeds. This was mid October so as you can imagine it was very cold. As i'm sure you are aware Giraffesauruses are made of very strong stuff, and i ray mears-ed it for the next four months traveling by foot and living off vegetation and discarded food items and fashioning places to sleep from whatever i could find. I made it back to Leeds about two weeks ago. My ordeal has taught me that i need to absorb myself into each day and do as many new things as i can, and see all the sights i am able to. I'm so busy these days i doubt you will even see me i dont stay in one place for long as there is so much to see!!
