Is it time for my annual blog update already?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where has the time gone? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently got all of my repeating patterns together to start looking for textile design work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's something I really enjoy doing and would love to see these on clothes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That said, watch this space for news of more <a href="https://philcorbett.blogspot.com/search?q=aussiebum" target="_blank">AussieBum</a> underwear designs coming soon.</div>

It was a pleasure to give my talk at the <a href="https://reasons.to/" target="_blank">Reasons to be Creative Festival</a></div>

I don't know who the original illustrator was or the agency who couldn't find of afford him but I was asked by an agency by a third party if I could draw in the style below.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I said yes - do I get the gig?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They answered I don't know, your portfolio doesn't suggest you can.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I told them that's for showcasing my style not other people's and if you thought that why did you come to me in the first place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ignoring my second question they asked me to prove it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Muttering under my breath that this was a simple style to emulate I produced the above illustration.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I never heard from them again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sorry original artist.</div>

It's not everyday you witness a ridiculous act of self harm to your country and see your freedoms and opportunities vanish and realise that you're trapped on an island full of idiots and nationalistic twits who are prepared to pay more for everything just to have a few less 'foreigners' around. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And there's more bad news. I also heard back from a job that I'd applied for. They said no.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was really disappointed for a couple of reasons. Firstly this position was for an innovative company in Sweden that I really admired and would have given my eye teeth to work for and they approached me, which seemed like a positive. Secondly I'd have an out for leaving England, where I really don't want to be right now and this all seemed really encouraging.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OhvzgJN0mN0/WNvXQgK2piI/AAAAAAAAEEQ/dwvgfSVHEfUZlpCcwTj6b_2NS3diXzTTQCLcB/s1600/DJ2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OhvzgJN0mN0/WNvXQgK2piI/AAAAAAAAEEQ/dwvgfSVHEfUZlpCcwTj6b_2NS3diXzTTQCLcB/s320/DJ2.png" width="191" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After a half an hour chat with someone from recruitment that seemed to go really well I agreed to do an art test. Normally I roll my eyes and refuse these time consuming tests as everything on the art front with me is already on line and presumably they like my art style and my professional abilities as laid out in my CV. But, like I say - this is an amazing company that I'd love to work for.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cxJC39311RU/WNvXQ9J9GXI/AAAAAAAAEEU/6_dthmSTjEUmaeH0tbcIGLnqxoLRaqIGACLcB/s1600/DJ3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cxJC39311RU/WNvXQ9J9GXI/AAAAAAAAEEU/6_dthmSTjEUmaeH0tbcIGLnqxoLRaqIGACLcB/s320/DJ3.png" width="253" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I spent a week working on their brief. I took time from work and gave this project everything and then submitted the PDF I'd agonised over laying out nicely... then nothing. For weeks.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I got a barely personalised email saying thanks but no thanks.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I understand that companies must get loads of applicants and art is perceptual but to get an email saying they've <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">been extremely fortunate to have an overwhelming interest in the role, and have been able to select profiles with very strong visual styles that fit effortlessly into the visuals we're targeting for our future games. They tell me this after seeing my art style, approaching me and then making me spend time on an art test. </span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Sorry to whinge - I just need to get this disappointment out of my system.</span></span></div>

I do quite a lot of work for the <a href="http://ministryofstories.org/" target="_blank">Ministry of Stories</a> which is a charity that encourages kids to write and nurtures their creativity.

Here is some work I've done for my last ever art test.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After an interview with a company that seemed like a great match for me they asked for me to do an art test. Normally I'd say no, especially after my previous art test debacle with that company in Denmark. But they seemed nice and I loved what they were doing - still do but don't agree with the art test. This wouldn't happen in any other industry. <a href="http://www.philcorbett.com/" target="_blank">My work is clearly on display</a> so they are aware of what I do. A much fairer way is to pay for a week's work. Then the applicant doesn't waste their time for nothing and the employer gets to see how they applicant works and fits in with the company.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't even get any feedback, reply, thanks for spending time doing this just a vague explanation from a recruitment agency that I wasn't a fit at this time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I urge you fellow artists - put your foot down and say NO to art tests. Together we can stop this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Just before Christmas I got an email from a PR agency asking if I would like to enter a promotional competition to have ago with a major UK toy company's 3D plastic 'pen'. It sounded good and the prize money was decent. So I agreed to enter, the PR company sent me the pens and I was off.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0zF-cTH-zs" style="color: #1155cc;">shaky start</a> I managed to come up with the models below and as per instructions sent the PR agency photos and videos of my creations.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Despite being the agency's favourite I didn't win so that was that. Fair enough.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: center;">
But the other week the agency got in touch asking if they could display my entries at the company's booth at the <a href="http://www.btha.co.uk/toy-fair/" style="color: #1155cc;">UK Toy Fair</a>. There was no mention of payment or even paying for postage. I explained that they're welcome to them as they're just sitting in the shed but they'd have to pay for them. They graciously said I'd have my name on them but still no mention of sweet cash. After a few emails back and forth with me explaining that I spent quite a bit of time on them and this is my job and this is how much I'd like from them the communication from their end ceased. I'm not surprised just disappointed. It's a shame that this seems to be the norm in the design world.<br />
Here they are all heavily watermarked to hammer home my 'nothing for free' point for your viewing pleasure.</div>

If you like colouring in then this is your lucky day. I've jumped on the adult colouring book bandwagon and collected 20 patterns in the Mindlaxation Colouring Book which is the only stress relieving tome you'll ever need. You can only get it on <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0992693624?keywords=phil%20corbett&qid=1448460355&ref_=sr_1_1&s=books&sr=1-1">Amazon for only £3.99</a> - just in time for Christmas. Here are a couple of pages so you'll know the kind of thing you're getting.</div>

I've just hung up a selection of Corbett originals in one of my favourite Brighton breakfast haunts: <a href="http://www.billiescafe.co.uk/">Billies.</a> Swing by and get one of their amazing hashes - the perfect accompaniment to a hand draw ink rendering of a greedy seagull or some other weird creature I've drawn.</div>
