I should have finished tweaking/framing at least 10-15 amusing, intriguing collages, photos and assemblages for this small exhibition by now. Just seem to have had total creative paralysis. Autumn Drop Brain Stop. Unlike me to freeze up quite so completely. (I should be in the studio right now) Ah well.. I can usually pull something out of the bag, under ludicrously immense pressure... hee hee, what joy...


See you sometime between 22nd and 29th October?

Steve Jobs: calligrapher. R.I.P.
Steve Jobs, the Apple of many an eye, died today at the age of 56, the same age my father was when he died.

Both entrepreneurs, both highly creative engineers in their own way, both driven by an energy to see a product or a business system succeed at the highest level.
           
Both surprisingly good at a completely different skill not many know about.
Final catalogue - 1971

What a waste.
