SPOILER ALERT: Read no further if you haven’t seen seen the movie!
OK, with sufficient warnings out of the way, here goes… At the end of the film of the same name, Zoolander established the “The Derek Zoolander Center For Kids Who Can’t Read Good And Who Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too”. I imagine that Marc Forster (director of Quantum of Solace) must have attended “The Michael Bay Center For Directing Action Sequences For Kids Who Can’t Concentrate On Shots Lasting Longer Than Two Seconds”. I had both read, and heard from others who had already seen the film, that one should be prepared for some headache-inducing cinematography whenever action is occurring on screen. Well, my eyes did hurt a bit after flick back and forth trying to follow things on the screen, but generally I coped OK. This was really my major gripe, now for some more items to mention:

Wow, it has been a busy time for me lately!
My works are still showing at the Art Factory Gallery, Merivale St, South Brisbane.
I had a good time at the opening night and enjoyed spending time at the gallery on the weekend, but would be happier if I had sold something! The art will be there until Sunday evening if you’re interested in checking it out.
With all this going on as well as lots of stuff for school, I am proud I managed to get something done for Inspire Me Thursday this week. The topic was “wardrobe” – I had to think for a while but finally came up with an idea I liked for this:

This week’s topic for Inspire Me Thursday is the beach. The idea for this painting came to me as soon as I read the prompt on their website, but it has taken me a while to get it painted.
I wanted to create something with lots of texture. This is what I came up with:
Sorry, it isn’t a very good picture. The painting is quite large and I took this photo standing on the table and holding the camera as high as the ceiling, and it still doesn’t quite all fit in the frame. Hope it shows a little bit of the texture I tried to create.
In other news, next week I will be involved in an exhibition called “Through My Eyes”. I am one of 6 artists exhibiting, and it is the biggest exhibition I have been involved in. So, if you’re interested and live in the Brisbane area, I’d love to see you there! Come along to our opening night and you can sip a glass of wine, meet the artists and view some art.
“Through My Eyes”
Opening night 6pm 08/08/08
& 11am – 6pm on 9, 10, 11 & 12 August
Art Factory Gallery

This week’s challenge at Inspire Me Thursday is Polka Dots. This is what I came up with:
You’ll notice that the background is made up of overlapping circles. I don’t know if they really count as polka dots seeing as they overlap, but oh well.
I will be entering this painting into a community art exhibition at Bella Art Gallery this coming weekend. Let me know what you think!

Well, it is nearly time for me to take down my artwork from Toscani’s Cavill Ave, and I haven’t heard anything, which means I haven’t sold anything. But I guess there is still another week and a bit until the end of the month so who knows.
I haven’t given up however – I have another exhibition coming up early next month:
I will be including 4 of my paintings in “Art on the Hill”, an exhibition run by St Thomas’ Catholic Primary School, Camp Hill.
I’ll let you know how it goes!
