CALL OUT FOR ARTISTS

Theme is BILLOW — BE PART OF A POPUP GALLERY on a grassy knoll at Bondi the Beautiful Festival on July 1.

Works can vary in size but in 3D, nothing bigger than a person & about a metre square for flat works. Minimum can be postcard size. Put a price on if you want to sell.

If you have an idea or response to this, & want to be in it, get in touch with me via DM @G_times on Twitter, oh-kye? If you need me to follow you to do this, tell me that too. OR, see my details at the Waverley Artists url to the right. Be brave!

France

A French friend saw this blog & gave me A- for the project. He wanted to give more, but like a true lecturer, he said it was to make me work harder. Thanks B. x

For the blind

One of the best things about sitting a gallery show is the people.

A man told me not to take anything personally as he ushered his unsighted mother around the walls. To him they were silly. He came out with the classic, "A 7-year old could..." and repeatedly dismissed them with "Strings. Lots of strings." "More strings."

Until he came to one, in fluoro pinks, ribbons & roses. I braced myself, then he stepped back as he told her, "Now, [big pause] this one! This one's [got me]."

So you never know. (see above)

Open studio in Bondi on Wednesday next week - will wear a flanno ! How the west was won: scroll down for details…

Thanks to a wonderful role model, I joined LinkedIn – was it worth it? Early days & it was lots of fun tweaking words to shape an image. Hmmm how to sketch a public profile, check it out here: http://tinyurl.com/8d4y8pe

Well, feature me!

Check out this link: http://100thgallery.com/ where you'll see I'm being featured at Melbourne's 100th gallery online. Nice. Of course if you're in Prahran, you can drop in and see even more art.

Call on Charles here http://100thgallery.com/contact/ to make a time & he'll rocket there to meet you.

Road Trip (detail) – this is the one for him (see below)

This and that (art career)

As AIR with Waverley Council I've been busy making work, going to the studio, spending hours on the road, entering comps, booking shows, securing an agent, reading reading reading, getting tutor gigs & insurance. Did you know that casual work such as running classes or workshops or performing requires your own insurance? It does. For that go to NAVA for links.

But for models & performers etc, go to http://www.duckforcover.com for totally affordable cover. They are the bomb. Makes it possible for your efforts to be all about the art.
