LOLCAT TEH EXHIBISHUN

One of my guilty pleasures (Along with Funniest Home Videos and COPS) is LOLCAT... I just can't help myself. Looks like I'm not alone however as a few artists explore the phenomena in an exhibition in the U.K.

The small screen does not do them justice, but those of you lucky enough to live in Melbourne can see a rather stunning collection of Photographs by Gregory Crewdson at the Centre for Contemporary Photography.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me Exhibition

My wife and I are long time fans of the seminal Twin Peaks (Okay, maybe not all those scenes of James pensively riding his motorcycle around the hills) so I was naturally interested in the Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me group art exhibition at the Copro Gallery, Santa Monica.

Sorted Books

I love these simple, creative ideas... The Sorted Book Project.

"The Sorted Books project began in 1993 years ago and is ongoing... The process is the same in every case: culling through a collection of books, pulling particular titles, and eventually grouping the books into clusters so that the titles can be read in sequence, from top to bottom."

D at the National Portrait Gallery

I spent the weekend in Canberra with the family and was lucky enough to visit the National Portrait Gallery.

The National Portrait Gallery aims to increase the understanding of the Australian people – their identity, history, creativity and culture – through portraiture... displays some 400 portraits of people who have shaped Australia and who continue to shape our nation.

It's a stunning and fantastically diverse collection that I highly recommended you visit if you get the chance, and great to get away from the computer screen to create and enjoy art. Our departure was only triggered when my wife, a practising artist and herself a talented portrait painter, started getting that crazy 'inspiration overload' look in her eyes...

"... must... get... out... and ... paint... before... I... EXPLODE!"

An interesting highlight of the visit, was that they provided some live music in the foyer and a selection of drawing tools and media for you to create some portraiture of your own. Check out what my daughter, her friend and myself got up to...
