illustration friday night : The Science of Self-Deception

I have given my Moleskine to go to the Moleskine people for the The London Book Fair, a little scared, but I have documented it well, so I can let it go for now.
See here if you want to see more images from this Moleskine.

I was in Melbourne with one of my Sydney friends visiting Ordy. Was really nice, we finally got to see where she lives after being told crazy stories, saw her fabled white possum, so we can vouch for her, she isn't imagining it. Yesterday we went to the Heide Museum, which was good to see, as I had never been there, and there is a possibility one (or a few) of my Ern Malley pieces might be in a show next year there. So now I have seen the spot.

I am now in Queensland with my mother in her big, crazy rented house with it crazed carpets and all the cane toads hanging outside. I have yet to see any snakes... she can tell i am beside myself about the snakes. I have never really got over that phobia, despite seeing them up close in the Northern Territory years ago.

Being just a leg didn't mean that Billy could be a part of the dismembered trophy animal club anymore.

A new Ern Malley piece. This one is inspired by the poem Young Prince of Tyre. If you are new to my blog, and haven't had the Ern Malley Experience, and wonder who he is... look here is the best explanation on the web, in my opinion.

Today I was generally the only person at the Atelier... sadly, only one screen had been exposed, so the immediate thought that I could print two colours instead of just one went out the window pretty quick, but it is still the holidays next week too, so maybe I'll have another chance. We organised the image from my previous post so it is ready to print. So not all is lost. Of course I did two images (at least) before I gave them the one I did), I hope to be able to do this image, in a more fleshed out version during the workshop.
