What a busy time it has been! My exhibition is up and now running til the 16th December at Paul Johnstone Gallery. The Tactile ARTS Waterfront Craft Fair was wonderfully cool and a huge success. Marrara double weekend Craft Fair was cranking and full of good vibes from both stall holders and the crowd. I must say the 'crafties' work ridiculously hard to not only make all their stock but to physically set up their stalls, then deck it out in the best way possible. It is hot, hard and often heavy lifting work and yet then find the energy to man your stall for the day. A lot of tired, exhausted stall holders yet the friendliness and helpfulness you'll receive is something I really admire.
Now it is back to studio time to complete the illustrations for Mick that are to be in a little book for his grand kids at Xmas. 'Hurtle the Turtle' is a very well written and funny little story about a turtle who accidentally ends up in Pop's belly after a trip to the beach. (This explains the beer gut!) A diet of beer and jellyfish is not acceptable and just keeps Hurtle growing...but after a trip to the doctor a diet of just beer is ok ...but definitely no jellyfish. This is the plan to reduce Hurtle to get him back to the beach. Love it!
