the Slyvester!
once squashed sly's 300 dollar gucci sunglasses in his top pocket when I gave him a hard hug. I gave him a comic for the damage.

walked past this on my way out of the convent today, this is Rick Matears dabble board, he wipes paint of brushes between things, he must be priming this orange bit for something. Paint is lovely stuff when its doing its thing.

after my slide talk with the Indian artists they told me look at much loved Indian artist Bhupen Khakhar (born in Bombay, 1934 and passed away in Baroda 2004. Dig it!

Just came from a lovely artist workshop between 8 Indian artists and a few Melbourne artists down at the Mornington Peninsula. I was there for three days talking, walking, and giving art a go. Must thank the Australia India institute for putting the whole shindig on. Was amazing getting the vibe of India through such experienced artists. In this photo is Veer Munshi, Gargi Raina and Mithu Sen.
