While the weather's calm and still,
We'll have some fun and laughter with,
The adventures of Portland Bill...

There appears to be a lot going on art wise around the town... or it could be just a series of coincidences?

In one night:

A private view of Michael Shaw's Sculptures at The Study Gallery of Modern Art ...

 Ishihara at Sixty Million Postcards

 and an Arts Institute (Fine Art) showing at The Winchester.

This is my art entry for the night:

 

Just incase you are wondering:

 About 30 miles:

I'm really enjoying the Portico quartet at the minute:

 

 

 

I wish I could hide under my coffee table on a glass shelf...

Photographer Martin Coyne is exhibiting some of his photographs from his trip to Malawi last year.

They were taken whilst he was working on an AIDS/HIV education video  for a charity. I think he's managed to capture the African experience without pointing his lens directly at it.

The exhibition is on at The Study Gallery , Poole from 18th till  26th November.

I have so much to write that I don't write.

 So little time to write what's left after I worry about what I haven't written.

 But does it really matter because nobody's listening*...

 (ha aha haha ah aha ah ahaha)

 * this should actually be 'reading', but for the purposes of this sentence structure - listening fits better.

Just found 'shreds ' on youtube.

People are rerecording the audio for music videos, with comic effect:

This is the way to do it:

 

Stand at the back, twiddle knobs and hire musicians to do all the hard work...

 

Or it means you've got lots of deadlines.

 

Seb's been growing his hair for charity since April, he's always had it shaved since he was 5. There's talk of him keeping it.

I thought I'd run through a few options...

Which is your favourite?

I painted a picture tonight for the first time in a year.

I spent most of it chasing dudu's (Swahili for insects) around the canvas.*

It's probably no good (doo doo), the sun went down before I could see what I'd done.

*No insects were harmed.
