The Studio

I recently moved out of my previous office (my living room) and into open plan studio in the center of the city. A friend of mine linked me to the City Studios website when he came across it through twitter, isn’t technology grand?. The greatest appeal of working here would have to be interacting with other creatives because as anyone whose ever worked from home can testify to; working home alone is not good for interactions skills especially when you start giving inanimate objects personalities (the power socket at home is a rude ass). Also, having a start time and end time to work really makes for higher productivity as well as a more structured day. Lastly, I get to bike in and out of the city which is a perfect start and end to day.

The studio is located up three flights of outdoor metal stairs off Burnett lane way in the center of the city. The whole studio is a bit rustic and unrefined but to be honest I think an overly polished environment can have a tendency to stifle creativity a bit. It’s been about a month since I moved in that time I’ve had a noticeable increase in drive, ambition and creativity just goes to show the importance of surroundings. The space used to be a gentlemans club hence my four muses looking over my shoulder, apparently the whole place used to be decked out in this undeniably classy wallpaper; oh the tasteless elegance of the 70’s.
