Tracy Vine - Post-Modern Urban Artist. S1 E12 (podcast)

I met Tracy Vine when I was finishing my degree at Writtle University College, the area where we studied was then called Writtle School of Design. It was an unusual set-up, three years all in one large classroom, but it worked!

Since I've known Tracy it has become clear that she has found her forte in life and has grown from strength to strength. After leaving with a 1st class Digital, Fine Art and Design degree she went on to do a Masters in Art Research and from there has worked on several art/photography projects working with local charities and school children. Something that she has done, which was quite unexpected, is designing public art installations and she is working on a new one now. Enjoy the podcast which has plenty of tips for art students.

Tracy was a finalist for Rankin's 'World Photography Project'. Out of 72,000 she was in the top 6 under the category for 'Fun'.

Mike had the business acumen to advertise his illustration on The Billericay Discussion Page on Facebook, where I saw it. It is finally on our bedroom wall and looks brilliant! You might be thinking, where have I heard of Family Scribbles before? Mike was very kind to give an illustration of a very wonderful person who has become known as Colin the Clapper. He handed Colin the illustration as a thank you, Mike had been jogging past Colin most mornings as he stood on the roundabout near Basildon Hospital clapping all the NHS staff as they went to work. You can read a bit more about this here . Colin Wilkinson started paying tribute to the NHS staff on the 25th April 2020. When he had done it for forty days he made the national newspapers when he was ...

Sylvia Kent’s Ten Top Tips for Writing and Promoting a Book

In her previous career Sylvia Kent had worked on typing the parliamentary debates for both Hansard offices (Lords and Commons) in Westminster for 26 years. In 1992 Sylvia helped start the Brentwood University of the Third Age (U3A). She was asked to start a gardening group which she organised for several years from her Brentwood home. This was followed by running a home-made wine group then a memoir-writing course. Sylvia explains, "When I joined the U3A I met a former journalist who had worked for The Times who ran a group to get members writing professionally. She suggested we should "write what we know" which sounds like a cliché. I was then making wine so I sent an article to The Lady magazine which described the basics of how to make a simple gallon of apple wine. This was published and led to other freelance work for other journals." Sylvia is currently a vice-president and archivist for the Society of Women Writers and Journalists (SWWJ) and w...
