When I first started the art school for over two years I slept on the floor in the room at the back sleeping on the models mattress with cockroaches for company before dashing off to work as a freelance illustrator until the art school started to support itself it was hard meeting those deadlines in the States as I started to spend more and more time here but at least I had a kitchen and bathroom(and there is another story) boy it was worth it then and worth it now, so whilst I am looking forward to driving god knows where with my sketchbook thats a hint to all of you! I will be hanging out by then to see you.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/northshoreschoolofart\/9265349891\/\" title=\"Processed with Instant App by Northshore School of Art, on Flickr\"><img style=\"box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888888; transform: rotate(-7deg); -ms-transform: rotate(-7deg); \/* internet explorer *\/ -moz-transform: rotate(-7deg); \/* firefox *\/ -webkit-transform: rotate(-7deg); \/* safari and chrome *\/ -o-transform: rotate(-7deg);\"src=\"http:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2864\/9265349891_742246b41d.jpg\" width=\"424\" height=\"500\" alt=\"All I got was sun for lunch\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Mike Lamble I pinch myself\u00a0 to think I have you guys round me every day of the week I am probably one of the few people that loves what they do and&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7164,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,623],"tags":[33,593,688],"class_list":["post-7143","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-mike-lamble-blog","tag-mike-lamble","tag-school-holiday","tag-sketching"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/art-art.com.au\/nsa1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/art-art.com.au\/nsa1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/art-art.com.au\/nsa1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art-art.com.au\/nsa1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art-art.com.au\/nsa1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7143"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/art-art.com.au\/nsa1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7143\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7403,"href":"https:\/\/art-art.com.au\/nsa1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7143\/revisions\/7403"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art-art.com.au\/nsa1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/art-art.com.au\/nsa1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art-art.com.au\/nsa1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art-art.com.au\/nsa1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
