Zines

I'm now a fan of this guerrilla publishing idea that was at National Galley of Australia, street art day yesterday. I could have spent so much money there once I knew what the actually word Zine means. I come away feeling upbeat and enjoyed being with so many young people. Now to my first Zine... The Day I Met Fenella.

Fennella Kernebone

Went to the street art exhibition at the National Gallery today and I got lost and ended up in the toilets of the members lounge. As I opened the door there was a lady standing with her back to me and when I looked in the mirror Fennellas face was looking back at me. I got so confused and the brain was on over drive thinking, is it Sunday and Ive lost a day, then am I watching a new age TV... to break this confusion I said really loudly OI!, to which she replied "hey". As I went to the cubicle I said "I saw you Sunday" to which she replied "I see myself everyday". Godde, I wish I could have seen myself when I was her age.

Naff Off

This is a term Princess Anne is very fond of and it always makes me laugh, well until its said to me. Ive been visiting, loving, feeding, watering and advocating for Maree since she was admitted to hospital a long time ago. Anyway yesterday Marees sister from QLD rang me and blasted me . I told her "I care about Maree and don't you ever ring me again". Then today the Calvery Hospital (Catholic) rang me and said I would not be allowed to visit Maree again and that if I tried, they would have to remove me, im thinking must be some big people there. I told the lady I had already made the decision not to go back there because I had achieved what I set out to do and that was get better care for Maree. Amazingly on Monday when I said goodbye to Maree, I gave her so many kisses and told her I loved her and I bet she was the cutest little baby ever. Like in a unconscious way I knew something was going on and I'm so glad I did that. And glad that because of Maree I managed to find the right art group, where I will be happy and will take away some of the pain of not seeing her again in this life.

Grinners

There are three blokes at work, that every time I see them they start doing this over the top grinning at me. I don't know them very well except one was an old boss of mine. It makes me shitty coz I'm interpreting it like I'm some kind of special project that I haven't been told about. Today I caught two of them looking through a window into the conference room where I was playing on an interactive whiteboard, so I went outside and demanded they come inside and learn how to use the boards, which I might add, are extreme fun. They still didn't stop grinning. Gezz, there are some strange geezers around.

Now here is a picture of a normal geezer.

Jenny Sages

My favorite woman artist and me.

Bark

Tonight I thought I was tough and walked straight through a fly wire door at my friends house instead of opening it. Got a bit of bark missing off me tonight. Also spend a nice afternoon at the M16 Artspace with the new art group. My efforts were modest compared to the other artists but one lady walked past and said your style is very Marc Chagall, good thanks! I have not idea who he is but looked him up just now and quite like his style which is described as whimsical and poetic.

Serena

One of my long serving friends who grew up in Dowling Street and shared an action packed childhood with. Shes modelling one of my MFD's (multifuncion devices) in her hair which can also be used as a brooch.

Contemporary Art

Viewing this site http://unurth.com/index it hit me how much art shows angst and loneliness. the majority of the work has a single figure in it and I'm wondering if people (includes me) are depicting people in abstract avatar ways coz the real world is too graphic for them...

And my stone painting street art is being snaffled up around Tuggeranong which makes me happy. They don't last much more than a day in the wild.

Out My Window

This is the view from the window on the way to the lift at work. I love this purple creeper which flowers twice a year with the most subtle smell. There is a fern tree garden just below and further down towards the back a man made stream where I sit and listen to the birds and soak up the sun. Its so peaceful.

High Court Concert Sketch

Darsha Rama Kumar and Natalia Harvey captured by me today playing their instruments. Darshas mum was so wrapped with the sketch she took photos of it as I was completing it. I'm very happy with it myself.
