I’ve got nothing

BOM 05.jpgSo I’ve got to get a blurb ready for the picture party that’s coming up August 27 and 28, but haven’t even finished a single painting. And I don’t have a title. Maybe book of miracles, but it’s looking more like book of crap at the moment.

But come along anyway as the food is always great. Actually I’m more excited about the food. It’s something you can rely on in these time of trouble.

I was also thinking of calling it Jewels and Fools.

Lipstick on a pig

 

18 come hither med

I’ll be having a picture party in August at the Watch House in Balmain. This painting was from a previous show, so won’t be in the new one. But it represents what you will find there.

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.

Which pretty much sums up my pictures. All smoke and mirrors. But then again she’s a pretty fetching pig.

Lock your doors!!

The souls are wandering the streets tonight.

But it is the souls full of spirits that we should be watching.

New Cat Zine for the kids to make at the Sydney Children’s Festival

I’ll be running a Zine workshop today at the Chidren’s Festival at the Seymour Centre. It’s from about 10am but I’ll be there from 1pm to 4pm. There’s a whole bunch of things happening, including the lawn library and silent disco. So I decided to make a new zine for the kids. The Cat Zine.

I’ll have copies available soon for the rest of you.

There’s no end in sight – New picture party September

P8105041

Making up some protesters for my new picture party next month at Waterloo Library. Opening on the, say, 19th of September or thereabouts. We’re kind of gatecrashing art and about.

Get back to reality.
