Graffiti

After putting yesterday's post up I realised that the subject of the first picture wasn't very clear. So today I'm posting a close-up of it:


This is the same stretch of wall where I saw some Tron graffiti, (which can be seen here), and some graffiti showing a Conan-esque figure dispatching skeletal warriors, (which I didn't manage to photograph). I suspect the same person painted all three.

The deadline looms...

The exhibition invitations arrived today. I don't really feel prepared for this yet.

Adventures in sewing

For my birthday my parents – who to the best of my knowledge account for two thirds of the regular readers of this blog – bought me a new sewing machine: a Janome 7025 from John Lewis.

Watercolour Wednesday

Just one painting again this week.

A Living Man Declared Dead and Other Chapters at Tate Modern

I try to write exhibition reviews the day I see the exhibition. In the past I've found that if I put off writing the review for longer than 48 hours I end up never writing it at all. Usually if I put off writing a review it's just because I'm too busy, but sometimes I put it off because I'm not really sure what to say, as was the case with Taryn Simon's photography exhibition, A Living Man Declared Dead and Other Chapters. I went to see this on Wednesday, and since then I've been thinking about it almost non-stop without really coming to a conclusion about it.

Watercolour Wednesday

What should I paint this Wednesday?



I didn't get round to the second part of this request (too busy looking at pictures of camels). It may appear next week instead.
