ARTIST MICHAEL WINCHESTER

Michael is an artist living in Belfast, currently focusing on making as much art as possible and trying to get his work out there. Michael’s work is mostly referenced from pop culture or life. At the moment it’s heavily focused on Japanese pop culture.

We did an interview with Michael that you can find on our website here: https://blickstudios.org/.../meet-the-resident-artist.../

Our next meetup and evening of talks for creatives is next Wednesday evening at 8pm in our Malone studios. We will have 3 amazing local creatives at diffferent stages of their careers sharing their stories and talking about perfectionism and the impact it has had on their work!

Speaker 1 - Benji Connell

Benji is an architecturally trained freelance illustrator and artist, with over 7 years of industry experience. Benji set up Concrete Clouds in summer 2019, having spent a number of years in architectural practice in London, scribbling and sketching, before deciding to set up his own illustration studio to focus on his passion and continue to scribble and sketch. Concrete Clouds had long ago been the name of Benji’s failed band; as attempts to become a rockstar didn’t quite pan out, the name was up for grabs and appropriately felt right for an architectural illustration studio.

Benji graduated with a Diploma in Architecture from the Mackintosh School of Architecture at the Glasgow School of Art, where he was nominated for the Bram Stoker Medal acknowledging the most imaginative work across the art school. In the years since, Benji became a Member of the Society of Architectural Illustration, the world’s oldest and most prestigious architectural illustration organisation.

Benji is an avid traveller and urban sketcher and was a 2018 recipient of the John Kinross Scholarship from The Royal Scottish Academy of Art and Architecture, commissioned to draw and produce artwork inspired by an extended stay in Florence. He has exhibited work internationally, from Edinburgh to Sao Paulo. His work has also featured in a number of publications for the Royal Society of Ulster Architects, in addition to Perspective magazine and The Big Conversation.

Developing and Defining Your Creative Idea Exercise: Getting To Know Yourself

The first exercise on our new resources for creatives section on our website is a lovely activity for a Sunday afternoon or evening.

Perfect for some gentle reflection it`s all about getting to know yourself to help you to define and develop your creative idea.

Below are some prompts for you to explore to help you make the right decisions for you. Not just the easy or expected choices, but ones that really make you come alive and help you create the life that you really want.

- Are you living the life that you want?
- If not, what do you need to change?
- What is your dream life and lifestyle?
- Are you earning the money you need to live your dream life?
- What do you think are your strengths?
- What do you think you could work on?
- What skills would you like to develop?

- How would you like to challenge yourself?
- What would you most like to achieve in life?
- What do you most like to do?

Delighted and relieved to have recently finished our updated website and made it live. It took a while to put together all the copy, but we are really pleased with the end result and the options it gives us for sharing content now and in the future. Making our website a useful resource for creatives starting out as well as for promoting our organisation and the services we offer.
