Survivor, my favourite program at the moment.

Annie Leibovitz was on the Simpsons.

Charlie took me to The Narrows. I know why they call it The Narrows now.

The Narrows opened especially for us.

It was a John Warwicker show regarding his book The Floating World. Ukiyo-e. I have been waiting five years for this book.

Ukiyo-e.

The Floating World. Ukiyo-e. By John Warwicker. One of the most beautiful books now in my collection.

Here's looking at you kid.

Tom said I should see this show of outsider art at Arts Project Australia. This was their annual gala show. It wasn't easy to get to. I got lost on the way there.

Christopher Mason.

Alan Constable.

The Narrows told me about this show at Ian Potter Gallery.

The Silo Project. A group show with 100 artists and designers re-designing the Neil Diamond Silo LP cover.

I don't like these mass group shows. It always ends up about how clever each participants' design is. Or how far they can bend the rules. More craft than art.

Caitlin helped me surprise some friends at dinner.

Though having recently been parents, they appear more tired then surprised. Cristine & Hoang. Hoang's grey hairs scares me from starting a family.

Any tot able to happily stamp on a plastic cup outside for 20 minutes is going to be an artist of somekind. I know I could when I was young.
