Description

Jeremy James Loveday a resident of Penzance, Cornwall living with Schizophrenia
and under medical supervision struggles to keep his normalness
through everyday challenges that finding a happy medium does.
As those living in Penzance, Penwith know, cost of living is high
and second and third jobs are needed to live a life.

Being schizophrenic it is hard to have a job and the money is spent
before it comes to hand.

Jeremy with his survival instinct took to the streets creating and
selling his artwork. Like others on the street, first instinct would be
he is dishevelled and begging for money, but he wasnÕt asking for
money, he was selling his artwork. Photocopies of his artwork.
