Goodbye Sotheby's

Its been a nice run and now I must say adieu. Yes, that's right, after much consideration I have decided that Sotheby's Institute of Art is no longer the place for me nor what I am looking for artistically at this time. So now what? Well, after contacting the Home Office, I was informed that my student visa is no longer valid. That leaves me no choice but to return to the states where I will re-group, re-discover, and design consistently and constantly.

There are no hard feelings. I am not giving up. I tried something that I thought I needed, and within that process I realized that what I truly needed was something else entirely. Ah, the universe works in funny ways to get you where you need to be. So in a matter of a few short weeks I will once again be state side. Yes, it will be bitter sweet, but I am ready to come home for an extended stay to see what happens next.

Like an inscription on a 6th century AD spoon read at the British Museum: "Know yourself, and urge yourself ceaselessly." Thanks Greg for that helpful reminder!

Woah, B! You're just all over the big changes lately, eh? :-) I am glad you decided this early on that Sotheby's isn't the place for you. Better now than much later. You should be doing exactly what you want--whatever that may be. When are you going to be heading back? When I get back from Europe in December we should catch up!

Travel safely!
