56 - christmas in... august(?)

🎶🎵“It’s beginning to look a lot like… 🎄” 🎶🎶 Erm… soooo this is awks BUT hear us out! All the big conglomerates and high street chains will be dragging out their tinsel with no shame as soon as the next month hits. They have mega expensive plans and goals and targets and all those things that make many an arty type cringe. But… what about us? Flailing to catch up as November screeches in?! Ohhhhh noooooo… Not this time! Let’s all think about what we’d like the next few months to look like. As you’d expect, we have ideas… *cue evil laugh* if you enjoy artchatter we’d love an honest review, or a share on the socials, it helps others find us.
