How far would you go to be beautiful? Media creates images that aren't possible. I love photoshop, but it creates a fake beauty. I love that beauty, but I don't try to imitate it. I wish other people understood most images in magazines are airbrushed. I'm happy with my looks. I've been feeling confident about them. I believe I am pretty, yet I feel ashamed to say that.
The media does not have anything to do with your life. I want to be active in my life, not active in some celebrity gossip or someone's facebook. Honestly it does not effect me.
she wishes to obtain an image of perfection, but only obtains alcoholism. she still strives for perfection at a cost of leaving her lover.
On the way out of school (late... again), Julia noticed a fruit crate by the trash can. She decided it would be perfect for her to decorate as a gift for Jeff.
She takes her creativity pretty seriously. Here she is painting a menorah beside the Christmas tree.
I love that she wants to give.
i love drinking coffee while i paint. well, i love drinking coffee, period. especially out of a cool mug.
The first church on the site was built in Anglo-Saxon times and fell into ruin during the Norman Invasion in 1066. The Norman lady of the manor Alice de Laci built a second church that 300 years later would be destroyed by raiding Scots.
During the 14th century the church was rebuilt and some of the older masonry may have been used in the reconstruction of the nave. The nave arcades, the oldest parts of the present building, were completed in 1458. A clerestory above them was added by the end of the 15th century. Chantry chapels were founded, on the north side of the chancel by the Leventhorpe family, and on the south by the owners of Bolling Hall. The tower in the Perpendicular style was added to the west end and finished in 1508.

The clerestory
Originally in the Diocese of York, the church was in the Diocese of Ripon before becoming a cathedral in 1919, when the Diocese of Bradford was created.
The building was extended in the 1950s and 1960s by Sir Edward Maufe.[1] The east end of the Cathedral (shown in the photo) is Maufe's work, but he reused the Morris & Co. stained glass from the old east window—there is therefore Victorian stained glass throughout the building including at the west end a window showing the women of the Bible. The many wall monuments include a sculpture by John Flaxman. Maufe also extended the west of the Cathedral on either side of the tower.
In 1987 the nave and west end were re-ordered so as to provide the setting and amenities needed for the increasing number of visitors and the many varied occasions when large numbers of people come to the Cathedral. New entrances were made through the tower walls to the offices and Song Room. The roof panelling was cleaned and restored and new lighting was installed. To enable flexibility of use the Victorian pews were replaced by chairs. The nave organ was removed to give more light and space at the west end, and a Bradford Computer Organ was installed, complementing the pipe organ in the choir with loudspeakers in the nave.
The hassocks were embroidered by people from many parishes in the Diocese. They depict Christian symbols and also a woolsack and the White Rose of York. The finest embroidery is seen on the cushions in the Sanctuary and the Choir.
At the beginning of the 21st century the cathedral authorities decided to develop a museum of religion in St Peter's House (built in the 19th century as Bradford's main Post Office). The visitor numbers were much lower than expected and the project collapsed leaving the cathedral in debt, from which it was discharged in 2007[citation needed].St Peter's House is now owned by a South Asian arts group, Kala Sangam[2] .
The cathedral is set in a small conservation area which includes the close to its north.[3] The close provides modern housing for the Dean and Canons, the Bishop's official residence being in Heaton, approximately three miles from the city centre.
The cathedral and its predecessors were built on the shelf of alluvial land that had formed on the outside of the bend where Bradford Beck turns north, but the town grew up on the lower ground on the other side of the beck, so the church was always just outside the centre of town. In the 20th century the cathedral was partly hidden from the centre by buildings, first by the Post Office just below it, and subsequently by the 1960s developments of Forster Square and Petergate. The latter areas were demolished in 2006, and pending redevelopment the cathedral is more visible than for many years.

By Stephen Waterhouse – Illustrator and Author.
Welcome to my first solo exhibition which shows some of my favourite artwork from the last 15 years.
When I was a boy I loved to draw and paint fun characters and landscapes and I still do now at 36 years old. At 6 years old I was inspired by Roald Dahl’s books and when I was 12 years old I saw Monet’s drawings, Van Gogh’s paintings and the Simpsons for the first time. That seems like an odd mix but they really inspired me to draw and paint even more. So much so, I painted the whole Simpsons family onto my younger sisters bedroom wall. Luckily she thought they were great!
After leaving school I went to Huddersfield College to do an Art and Design Foundation course for one year. From there I went on to Loughborough University to study Illustration for three years to learn to draw and paint properly, in my own way. Since graduating in 1998 I‘ve been lucky enough to be commissioned to create children’s books, posters, jigsaws and greetings cards.I also visit schools to talk about my work and to do character invention workshops, as well as teaching part-time at Loughborough University.
My latest work is for a book called ‘My Pop-Up World Atlas’. It’s funny because as I failed Geography at ‘A’ Level and this gave me a chance to learn about every continent and country in a very fun and colourful way!
The 35 pieces of artwork here show part of my journey over the last 15 years from 1996 as a student to my latest artwork for a book which came out this summer. This exhibition also shows my transition from painting with acrylics to working digitally on a computer. ‘London at Christmas Time’ (2002) was my very first digital Christmas card and after some experimentation my artwork has mostly all been painted digitally since then. I do however create all my rough drawings the old fashioned way, with a pencil! Some of which I have included here to show my process of development.
Thank you for coming to take a look around, I hope you enjoy the show!
Best Wishes
Stephen
