Dear lovely backers, 

I hope you're all well! Last month I completed the Mlitt course at GSA, an achievement funded in part by all of you. Documentation of my degree show, Desert Island (Free Wifi), can be seen here: http://alexwilliamsonartist.co.uk/index.php?/works/desert-island-free-wifi/

As I said a while back, I will be staying permanently in Glasgow. This is a huge positive change in my life, that was only possible through your generosity. But if anyone from London wants to meet for a drink between 15th Oct and 2nd Nov, I will be in town for a couple of weeks work, and would love to catch up. 

Those of you who are still expecting prints, I will be contacting you each to confirm delivery addresses and getting those sent out this week.

Thank you all so much!

Alex

Dear backers,

I hope you're all well, enjoying the Spring snow.

Don't think I'd forgotten about you all, because I haven't! The intensity of the course is even more than I had expected, and being able to stay in the studio late into the evening rather than leave to work a bar job, is something I'm grateful for every day. 

I have just updated my website to include projects and editions completed so far this year - alexwilliamsonartist.co.uk so you can see your generous donations being put to work. The editions section will soon be equipped with Paypal buttons (once I work out how) for ease of purchase. In the meantime, if anything takes your fancy, drop me a line to discuss your heavily discounted early bird special. 

Those of you who are still waiting on the second part of your two-part reward, know that I'm still thinking about what to include for this. I want it to be representative of as much of the education that you've paid for as possible, so will be producing and sending these during the Summer.

I've decided that I'll stay permanently in Glasgow once the course is over, I'm very happy here. I can't express enough the extent of the impact your donations have made to my life

Greetings from North of the wall, 

My fine contributors, please see a photo below of your generosity officially being used for what I promised to use it for. 

Thank you again to all of you for your generosity and encouragement. I'm really excited for the coming year, and cannot tell you how much it means to have the backing of such lovely people as yourselves. 


For any of you who want to follow my progress, my website is alexwilliamsonartist.co.uk

Dearest donators and followers, 

Next weekend it's the Bow open studios, where all the prints available for this campaign will be on display, as well as various other larger pieces. If you've donated already, this would be a great time to come down and pick out the print you want and take it away with you. 

Bring your friends!

Snoop through 150 artist's studios.
