Art in the Park

How posh. I’ll be in Rose Bay, where previous generations of Beckett’s lost my family fortune. It could have been my hood. But fate was not so kind. Or maybe it was, because I suspect there are a few messed head around there. And my life is really pretty wonderful. But it could have been better……….  So I will be there on Sunday for ART IN THE PARK which is in Lyne Park Rose Bay (the one by the water) from 10am to 4pm. I think the idea is that all those wealthy people there will come down with their wads of hard earned cash and bestow a small part of it to us struggling artists. I would like to think this is what would happen. But I don’t have much hope.

Redwater Markets

This Saturday the 18th of August I will hopefully be at the Redwater Markets, just around the corner from me in Redfern Park, on on the corner of Elizabeth and Redfern Streets. From 8am to 4pm supposedly. I don’t know if I’ll last that long. If it doesn’t rain of course. Then I won’t be there. Or anyone else for that matter.
If you can’t or won’t make that I’ll be at Art In The Park in Rose Bay on Sunday the 26th Of August. I’ll mostly have paintings at that for all the wealthy not to buy.

Manly Zine Fair – Next Month

Just an early bird reminder that I’ll be at the Manly Zine Fair on the Saturday the 15th of September. Probably from 11am to 2pm or something like that. It’s pretty casual, but it should be fun. And they have a section in their library for zines. Some of mine are in there.

Markets this Sunday the 5th August.

I’ll be at Eveleigh Markets this Sunday the 5th of August with my usual assortment of rubbish. I hope you can come down and visit. The Markets are at 243 Wilson St, Darlington NSW 2008
[near Redfern Station]. For more details click here

You’ll be able to pick up my latest collection of terrible Nursery Rhymes.

Photo Poems

I’m working on a new ziney book, of my photo poems. It may take a while, like everything else. But I think I have to get this out there. Hopefully soon. I started using old magazine pictures and just started writing speech bubbles of garbage that really had nothing to do with the pictures. Not like when they have a funny photo caption competition, but just sort of odd rhymes and nonsense that came into my head when I started writing.
Here’s an example.

I’m just putting the finishing touches to my new collection of Nursery Rhymes. They’ll be available shortly on ETSY. And they should be ready for Saturday where I’m holding a stall at Redwater Markets, just around the corner from my little house here. If it doesn’t rain of course .If it does, I’m not going anywhere.

The Candy Maker’s Daughter by elizabeth JMW

Yay. Canadian writer Elizabeth JMW’s new zine 398#12, The Candy Maker’s Daughter is out now. The story is well brilliant as I was lucky enough to have a sneaky read, and the cover is designed by little ole me.

Buy it here.

Elizabeth JMW, Candy Maker’s Daughter

 

What is the secret ingredient to the Candy Maker’s most delicious chocolates? Love. But since the death of his wife, his one true love, the Candy Maker has lost the ability to create his most special chocolates. When a foreign king demands the chocolates, the Candy Maker’s Daughter takes it upon herself to go on a journey to find true love and save her father. But will her heart ever find what she is seeking? And will she make it back in time to save her father?

398 is a litzine of fairy-tale-like stories by Elizabeth J. M. W.

398#12 is just one story: The Candy Maker’s Daughter, but it is much longer than previous 398 stories. This zine is 1/2 sized, 44pages and text heavy.

It’s all over for now.

Thank you all who came, and I’m sad about those who couldn’t make it, but it’s OK. I’ll live. And maybe next time, if I ever do it again.

I’ll post highlights later.

But no rest for the wicked. I have to make things tomorrow for Platform 72 for their lovely shop who will be selling my wares.
