Oven Baked Tarantula

Midcentury Bristol

The Midcentury fair at Bristol's Paintworkds was an interesting event. Some exceptional pieces pn display, but my wallet remained closed as rennovations must be done before new furnishings are bought. Still, some inspirational pieces on display that have given me some ideas how I want to do my new study.

Toy Shows

Both from 2003, these flyers are wonderful souvenirs on their own. The 3rd Gardener exhibition by Michael Lau was held by Maharishi with the flyer showing all the figures up to the latest at the time (Hardy in headstand mode). The other was for a Medicom exhibition at the Bape Galllery. The Medicom flyer is a Bearbrick/Kubrick box unassembled, which is a wonderful idea.

Chisel

Could this be the greatest Australian band of all time? Clearly the kings of pub rock, Barnsy et al had an amazing arsenal of songs. Whilst at times the lyrics remain simplistic, and there are elements of dubious cod reggae, they are forgiven when the moments of brilliant story telling or a feeling is conveyed that wonderfully captures a time and place in 70/80s Australia. Who else was singing about shorn offs and robbing the TAB or sappers round Khe Sanh?
