This woman had been waiting for hours for her grandchild to be delivered, and looked taken aback by the walking tour that inspected the artwork. She didn't realise she was sitting under any!

R.I.P. Jean Giraud (Moebius)
Mar. 11th, 2012 11:25 pmIt seems that Jean Giraud (a.k.a Moebius) died on the 10th after a long illness. And who was Meobius you ask? He drew this, among other things:
For most of the 80s I read Heavy Metal magazine and it featured his work - initially The air tight garage of Jerry Cornelius. Cool stuff.
He will be missed.

The general crowd at the opening. My entry, "Cutting Edge" can just be seen through the door at the top left.
My entry in the "Locker Room".
Your's truly next to my entry.
The other Panel
Aug. 18th, 2011 06:26 pmFinished the other panel, as shown below:
and this is how it should look joined together.:
(no subject)
Aug. 18th, 2011 04:51 pmThe first part of my artwork "Cutting Edge". Based on a photo collage (incidentally none of the objects or figures actually appear together in the sources). This is still to be scanned and coloured on computer. The next part will appear at the right.

"Cutting Edge"
Aug. 12th, 2011 03:53 pmI handed in my application and $10 for an entry in CLASSIFY ME - an exhibition to take place at the Watt Space gallery in Newcastle CBD. The exhibition is a protest. To quote the info page:
Earlier this year Tasmanian Senator Guy Barnett launched a senate inquiry into the classification of the visuals arts. If Senator Barnett’s recommendations to the inquiry are accepted artists may be forced to have all their work classified before public display; all art works and art books containing nudity would be classified; all artworks would be restricted to certain age groups and the ‘artistic merit’ of an artwork would no longer be seen as justification for the work’s content.
Of course, now I have to make it! But here's the thing, I had a VISION of what it should look like, and when I get one of those not creating and entering the work would be pissing such an opportunity away. Keep you posted.
out and about
Aug. 5th, 2011 09:16 pmIt was one of those run-around days today. I...
- Went to Toronto and had my teeth checked (I have a referral for fillings next Tuesday);
- Caught the train from Fassifern to Newcastle;
- Found out that my artist's book is touring with the Happily Ever After exhibition!;
- Went to the Art Gallery and the Library;
- caught a bus to Charlestown, just missing the bus back home;
- Did a small amount of food shopping, and
- went home.
Really really glad I got to the Newcastle Regional Art Gallery. It's been a while since I took time out to just do that. This might just count as an "Artist's Date" as well. Really liked the CITIZEN COLLECTORS exhibition there, and especially GODSPEED VERTICALS, a 50 minute looping video showing two people break-dancing in what looked liked Bondi Junction Underground stations. The ambient music of this pervaded the entire gallery and was mesmerising.

Whoo hoo! That's my artist's book we're holding. I made a funny comment saying that whenever my family took photos of me that they'd ALWAYS include my feet and chop a bit of my head. I guess professional photographers aren't much different.More pics in the Flickr set.
Thoughts about Life and Death
Jun. 11th, 2011 07:25 amDelivered this to the exhibition yesterday. Here's what it looks like:
You've find samples of the whole work at my Set in Flickr. While I was at John Paynter Gallery, I was photographed for The Newcastle Herald with one of the curators, reading it! I'm off to the official opening later today.

Later, Elsie talked about her work, and even had some champagne (what art exhibition opening would be complete without some?).
