T-shirts
On Friday I finished the pictures for the “Embrace Diversity” series and uploaded them, so I could finish the t-shirt series over the weekend. I have six different images, but then I realised I had...

Monkey has got the cup
There was a little bit of excitement last night when I came home. The Dedes were sitting around a parcel that had arrived while I was out. Two weeks back we ordered a cup and a few t-shirts from the...

Preparation
Yesterday I had a meeting with the curator of my exhibition. It really hit me then that it is only a month away. I have to fill a room and 30 meters of wall space. What a luxury… I spent today...

Cool Cat
Today I am introducing Cool Cat. With her paisley pattern she reminds me of a sixties “Bond girl”. We just had all the re-runs on TV here (this might have triggered the comparison). In the background...

Entering the hot phase
There is just over a week to go until the exhibition opening. Some press releases have been sent out. As I am so used to doing my own thing quietly, I am not not particularly well connected....

What a nightmare
Phew, the exhibition is finally underway. But what a nightmare it was to get there… I have to apologise for neglecting the blog for a little while. I honestly wanted to get back into writing daily in...

Recovery :)
I am back to normal! At least that is what I think :). Unfortunately I have to own up to something. I actually don’t have any images from opening of the exhibition itself. I took a few pics when we...

Famous on the North Shore :)
Last week I was interviewed by the local newspaper and the article appeared today. I have to say, the journalist captured the essence brilliantly. I just re-publish the article here.

Good times at the Gallery
Two-faced and I are starting to get worried. The Dedes seem to have too much fun at the Gallery and we feel a bit left out. They definitely wooed the staff. Each of the Dedes tried to adopt a staff...

Harvey’s cunning plan
Yesterday I had some wonderful news which involves Harvey and Mr XL. Remember Mr XL? He is my lovely neighbour in the office building who got sucked in by Harvey the gambling rabbit. Harvey had played...

What’s next?
We had to leave the house for the weekend as the floors were being sanded and coated. So we went and visited family up north on the farm. A place without cell phone reception and internet – Bliss! Ah,...

The one that left us
I am very surprised. I thought the Dedes would be very chirpy and keen to tell me what happened at the gallery. We all know travelling broadens your horizons and there is always so much to talk about...

Where have all the days gone?
I just realised I haven’t written for a week. Oh, dear! There isn’t much to report as I am busy tying up loose ends. I think next week the builders will finally move out. What should have taken four...

Big screening
Remember the little film about L’Artiste’s woes? It looks like it is going to be shown on the big screen at the Waiheke Cinema. I hope the quality is good enough. I’ve changed the ending to advertise...

Cultural Excursion
Farmer John complained last night that our house wasn’t very stimulating. There’s no pictures on the wall and no furniture in the room where they are staying, only a heap of discarded newspapers in...

The outing
As Lil’Piggy and Farmer John decided to stay at the Depot Artspace, L’Artiste saw his chance for an outing. “Pick me, pick me” he called every time our paths crossed. “Artists need new impressions....

Monkey’s “help”
The rucksack must have become uncomfortable during the night and they found their way out. But they only made it a few steps to the side, to the rolled-up yoga mat. There I found them in the morning....

Film: Elephant in Tutu
I had a hard time last night convincing Push Push to publish her video. After all, it is her performance and she has to okay it. (Note to self: Ask for signature before start of recording!). Last night...

Dede Dada do
Yesterday was the big day. The official opening of the Dede studio space! And what a wonderful day it was. I am not one for big parties and hadn’t invited many. Even thought the Dedes want to pull a...
