    I've been so fucking miserable this week [more than normal] since I've found out that there's no chance in hell of me getting a highly skilled visa for the UK, which means I'll have to yet again, be sponsored and tied to a company. Read between the lines and if you're versed at all with this nonsense, you'll know that that means I'd have to work for an international agency and if you read further between the lines and know me at all, you'll understand how crushed I am...

    Now I have no fucking idea what to do with my life... Not exactly the wisest time to say fuck it and relocate to australia and start my own studio.. But I cannot stomach the thought of a. continuing to work in an advertising type gig nor work for a large 'design' studio like Pentegram or Wolff Olins...

    Anyways, if anyone wonders why I've lashed out more than normal, this is my reason, not my excuse..
