July 2010

22nd: So ABSA is finally over. Well for me it is. By the laws of the competition I am too old. This years entries formed the usual rag bag of stuff; stuff that should have won; stuff that just seemed rubbish; stuff that was nice but that was about all you could say for it. For the second competition in a row I have had plenty of pats on the back with people telling me that I should have won something. This is becoming a habit for which I think that the only cure is to stop entering competitions. There are still a couple that I dont fall foul of due to age. I am grateful though that I am not a judge and that I dont have to suffer the evil eye of all the unhappy artists. I am sure that there were plenty of us in the audience wondering why so and so won and not me. Must go. Have Sasol to prepare for. Need to get proof of ID; plinths; frames; artwork done.



13th: July July July. Work Work Work. Got the dome back from the Coen Scholtz Centre. Tried to see who was resonsible for the crusty shit. No luck, but I am learning more and more about it. The fact that it won a prize just keeps getting more suspicious. The person responsible won the same prize last year. The piece is about owls, yet eagle feathers have been used. It was chosen for the peoples prize, but the show wasn't open to the public until the night of the prize giving. I think that this calls for one of Dan Brown's splendid cospiricy waffle books. I am sure that the Illuminate are behind the whole affair and that the feathers were arranged in a way so as to direct the local masons to an ancient relic which has remained hiden in the basement of the Coen Scholtz Centre for years. Now at the direction of the Owl/Eagle/crusty shit person the truth is going to be revealed. Ha ha but I am on their case. Losers

Just over a week to go till the ABSA. Ho hum



9th: Well its July now and things are really busy. Got to take the dome down tomorrow, bring it home on monday and then move it to its new place at the end of the month.

Umm nothing much else to say other than things are really busy.
