+ Sonny and Biddy are DJing in the cross. Yew!

Alaska made his school desk graffiti show at Mays Lane the other week but I missed it due to bad diary making. It’s up for a little longer so get down there. Fantastic.

I even got there before I got there! Yes!

Mays!

Gids still there.

Made the grade.

Saw this amazing juxtaposition of signs on the way to the beaches.

The fact that Conor and Tim had hangovers at 3pm made it even more relevant.

Conor claimed as he couldn’t find coffee that stout was the next best thing. I urged him to get this one as my Dad’s homebrew had one bottle with this same label on rotation within about 200 bottles.

Tim was up form Melbourne and ripping. Lookout for Tim’s great video works.

This time,
The Joyful Bewilderment in Bristol!
Good times for traveling art.
Thanks heaps folks.

Come support FBI.
I have helped FBI get a bunch of great artists involved for a great cause.
Remember to RSVP.

Ahhhh, distance. That old thing keeping people apart.
Ohhhh, the internet. That new thing bringing people together.

Well that’s the idea anyway. At least it helps me get to ‘look’ at artworks in progress for upcoming shows.
That’s right folks, Kill Pixie back on Australian shores in the month of August.

A look-see about Mark’s amazing studio.

And new works in progress.

This great Megan Whitmarsh was hanging in there.

Cleon Peterson too. These two artists will be joining Mark for a 3 man show upcoming.

Lister, Steve Powers, Faile.

The tools.

Yew!

A few more new pieces for the show

Kelsey Brooks too.

And repping from afar.

Thanks Mark, till soon, my friend.

Seemingly got off the plane and found my wife. This is one of those photos where you put someone in front of the other thing you need to get a photo of.
This place in Strawberry Hills is amazing, the people are unmovable. We could be in seaside England.

But no! On our way to Black and Blue for the Popfrenzy Atlas Sound show.

VB and Ana.

The show was great, Bradford Cox was pretty hilarious actually, and Kevina Jo Smith’s works flanked the experience. Incredible, although I thought it incredibly irresponsible.

Wow!

And out.

Maurice wouldn’t be persuaded to eat with us, so we did a knock-and-run meal for him.

Oven roasted pumpkin and fresh pesto fettucine!

Bon Apetito, fella.

Luca Ionescu.

Andrew Pommier.

Beci Orpin.

Stefan Marx.

Jonathan Zawada.

Alex Kopps.

Sat on the runway for a couple hours at Kingford-Smith waiting for the fog to subside at Tullamarine Wednesday morning.

I felt pretty calm about it. Some non-time just to read and listen to a couple Belle and Sebastian albums

Eventually we were lifted.

I always enjoy looking out a plane window. Sitting in airports is an absolute bore. Take off is always great.

I was surprised we flew over Canberra.

There was a bunch of snow around Mt Hotham in Victoria.

The book I was reading was great. This last passage about debtors was funny to me.
Thanks JZ.

A day past hanging the show at Gallery Lee, and a dinner at Ed and Livs.

Saw these crazy Scots on the tram that had, you guessed it, just been to Ramsey St.

Woke up to more fog.

Prior formally opened the show and created his own installation by ‘nesting’ in a hidden part of the gallery.

It got pretty busy.

Eventually took some dinner with Brendan, Chris and Simon.

Simon received a pretty amazing gift.

And Brendan rode this monster home.

Another sleep and more airports.
