Arty day is arty!
I had my last exam for the semester yesterday, I don’t have to start paid work again for another week or so and I decided I was going to focus on doing some projects. I realise that I’ve said this before and life has gotten in the way, and I realise that it will get…

Playing with light: Markit @ Federation Square
It’s been a while since I did a photo essay, and this one isn’t really a photo essay, it’s more a chance for me to share my experimentations from my adventure yesterday. I was at Markit @ Federation Square. For those of you not in Melbourne Federation Square is a modern building complex that was…

I AM A POET!
For those of you who have been following along you would know that I had decided to read some of my poetry at the Dan O’Connell Hotel Saturday Poetry Group in this entry. About Wednesday this week I decided that this week was the week to do it because otherwise I would just keep putting…

Artist Date: Pick ‘n’ Mix Exhibition Opening
On Thursday night I went to an exhibition opening at £1000 Bend in Melbourne’s CBD. My friend, Jonathan who has featured in this blog before, was one of the exhibited artists and I had met some of the organisers previously so I was basically honour bound to go. I had an amazing time, I ran into…

Night Rain and Hot Chocolate
Saturday night for me was pretty sedate; I went out for dinner with a friend in the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy. After dinner we went out for hot chocolate and macarons at Shocolate in Johnson St. We decided to sit outside and not long after we sat down it started to rain. It was the…

Substation or Suburban Prison?

Surely it was not constructed as an electricity substation, and was commandeered for the purpose; I…

Adventure in Carlton: Photos
This post won’t have many words, just some of photos from my adventure. Enjoy! I don’t really know what to say about this… It’s cool though. It’s a sticker about 10cm high that was stuck on a fence in Carlton. I am sure it’s making a statement but I’m not really sure what the statement…

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. True Saturday afternoons are often filled with other social engagements but really I was just wussing out. I asked my friend Jonathan to come with…

Sunsets and Ivy: An adventure
After writing the post earlier about how emotional I had found writing I decided to go for a wander down to Kooyong Lawn Tennis Courts and take some photos of the ivy growing on the outer walls. Malvern and surrounding suburbs has the highest proportion of ivy covered buildings I’ve seen in Melbourne, and given…

Writing is like, hard, y’know?
On Monday morning at 9am I sat down to write a short story. I had set myself the challenge of writing four or five first drafts for some short story competitions I had found online. The story I wrote on Monday was about my mother’s experience with cancer. The Cancer Council had set up an…
