I did a 3D canvas art class last week at the Craft & Quilting Expo held at Darling Harbour last weekend. It was a different style of canvas art, and I had a lot of fun. I’ll post a picture of my efforts soon. I am also just about finished another piece – it is […]
Le Jardin – mixed media, 15cm x 30cm, May 2009. Irridescent watercolour on canvas, with collage, stamping, bollywood braid, paperflowers and found objects.

You will see that there are already some posts here – they have been moved over from my artsblog which I have decided to no longer maintain. I have two show reviews to do, and a number of movie and tv show reviews when I get time. I’ll set up an RSS feed to my […]
Originally posted on October 2 2008 I can’t claim to have known him, but I saw Rob Guest perform a number of times in Les Miserables and The Phantom of the Opera. He had a beautiful, rich voice, and unlike some singers was able to act enough to be convincing in his roles. Australia has […]
Originally posted September 29 2008 I’m rereading the Wild Cards series, a shared world anthology edited by George RR Martin. Inspired by a superhero roleplaying campaign that was gamemastered by Martin, and included Roger Zelazny, Melinda M Snodgrass, Lewis Shiner and Walter Jon Williams, amongst other luminaries who would become writers in their own right.
