Goodies vs Baddies
Last Friday I went to an exhibition opening at Artboy in Greville St Prahran. Some of you may remember that I helped my friend Jonathan take his work there to be exhibited the week before. Exhibition openings tend to be fun, they have free or cheap drinks, you get to hang around with arty types…

An adventure in Carlton: Poetry
Today’s adventure/artist date was going to the Dan O’Connell weekly poetry reading session. I have only ever been once before, some time ago, and I haven’t made it back since.

Life Photography
Last Sunday I spent the day with my friends Jonathan and Gabrielle in their lovely home in inner Melbourne. Jonathan is an artist whose work I really admire – he does water colour paintings. He works from reference photos mostly so his place has a studio setup that he can bring out for shoots. His…
