I sort of wanted to include that I'm interested in analogue media because I am- as I progress through this course the more and more I want to not use digital (except as a tool to transfer and enhance the traditional). However I'm concerned it makes me look like I will refuse/ can't do digital techniques which is limiting and tried to counteract this by including them in my skills list. 

Writing about yourself is a bad time. I don't want to be a 'joky' artist but I also feel uncomfortable if it's wholly formal.

I can't imagine making an *illustrator name* for my 'brand' mostly because I think I'd be too likely to change my mind about it too often. On the other hand I'm stuck with my name quite likely forever, whether I like it or not (even if it's a bit boring).




And it's also 99p on GoDaddy.com

I'm not sure if .com or .co.uk is a better choice?
