New Arrivals
Here’s a couple of things that arrived in the post early. Humans of New York I received my copy of the HONY book, something I’ve been excited about for a while. HONY is a website, solely featuring portraits of denizens of that mighty and terrible city, and how each of them try to become better…

Megalo
So today, I took advantage of the recently purchased Megalo membership and learn to do some screen printing. So basically, I turned this set of hieroglyphs that I drew while I was at work and turned it into this: Pretty neat. I’ll probably give these out to some friends, whoever wants them. The whole screen…

Art, Not Apart
I had some apprehensions on going to Apart (that’s Art, Not Apart) on the weekend. My problem with art festivals, and a larger chunk of the arts world, is that it’s pretending to be more than it really is. People readily apply labels like post-modern, transgressive and zeitgeist to things that are getting more praise…

Hobart Visit – MONA
Over the last week, I visited some friends in Hobart and among the first and last things that I saw was the art collection housed in the Museum of Old and New Art. Because its a thing you have to see twice to get a real feeling for what is happening behind the battlements of…
