A human who is from Cork City and is a ceramics student at Cardiff School of Art & Design. This is a scrapbook of my life trying to make and of my art-related finds from around the web. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My blog dedicated to my work is

Thank you! I wasn’t fishing for compliments but It’s always nice to hear that people appreciate what I post. Especially since I feel like such a small fish sometimes…

journeythroughunknownlands asked: Hey there. I just wanted to say that I enjoy your tumbling or tumblering or however it is called, a lot. Keep up the good work. I'm not a good-questions-asking kind of person.. so... do you want to tell me something random about yourself? Because I'm a lover of random facts.
Thank you! I’m sure even a simple blogging would probably suffice (words are confusing sometimes…)
Random fact? Hmmm… gosh.
I’m Irish (from Cork City) but I have a really odd accent and no-one knows where I’m from. Corkonions don’t think I’m from Cork, Some people think I’m from somewhere in Ireland but they can’t tell, others think I’m American, others think British, and weirdly I’ve had a few separate people ask if I was French.
That okay as a fact?
@1 month ago with 2 notesHey!
How are you?
We barely speak… which is fine, but if you wanna chat to, confide in or question me I’m willing and usually able.
Talk to me, please. Anything you want to say is fine... If you want me to answer private please say.
I’m willing to skype too, if you give me your skype-name.
There’s a few hundred of you but you’re dreadfully silent a lot…
@1 month ago with 10 notesThis is why I’ve been working with more and more creators and entrepreneurs on crowdfunding campaigns and why, after I gave big co’s a chance to get onboard a fantastic “Camilla” project and they all got shy about it, we’ll be hitting Kickstarter with something REALLY SPECIAL.
The “d” in d’Errico stands for D-I-Y. You know it!
Infographic: Kickstarter Dominates Indie Innovation
Like YouTube, Facebook, or blogging platforms, it’s almost hard to believe there was an Internet without Kickstarter, which may be the greatest testament to its success. In 2009, the site generated about $23 million for its projects—an impressive figure by all accounts—but in 2012, Kickstarter pulled in roughly 10 times that, leapfrogging the grant budget of the National Endowment for the Arts. You can find all those facts and many more in this masterful infographic created for Fast Company by Catalogtree:
See the full story and infographic here.
And check out Fast Company’s feature story on Kickstarter here.
Kickstarter isn’t endless videos of cute kittens that suck up your time when you should be working… That’s for sure. I don’t think KS is going to not be “cool” for a very long time. Now if only creatives use it & other crowdfunding to fully change the rules of the game instead of propping up the old & tired existing gate keepers to various industries. We have the power now. The *consumer* has the power now.
I’ve backed several kickstarters now, and I like the supply and demand plus fan interaction elements of it. If I ever have a big enough fanbase and a kickstarter ready project I would probably use it (There are other sites I might use, and there is a lot of work involved in getting crowdfunding to work for you.)
