November 2009

20th: I am not sure whether my work has been sold to those mysterious buyers. I am assuming that as they still have my photographs they can't live without them?

This has been the over riding trend for the last few months. Iinterest has been expressed and quotes have been given but after the initial enthusiasm the reality of having to part with cash seems to cause buyerspeople seem to just melt away. I have studiously followed up on a couple of leads but after a while the feeling is that of being a stalker.

There is some postive news. After about four years of dreaming, planning and threats of arrest I have started my geo disic dome. Yes its going to look like a football, no I am not trying to associate myself with the 2010 bandwagon, but it is a thought. 



10th: Well the PPC opening went alright. My preditions of prize winning proved to be wrong. Not a single thing came my way. As per usual the entries were beguiling as ever. Some could have been found in a garden centre. Others were.... well yes....hmmm. I am not going to sling too much mud about as I am sure Magnum raised a lot of questions of the what the fook kind.

There is talk of possible sales to a mysterious buyer who is interested in photographs. Work has been delivered to the fence and so now we are just sitting tight waiting to see to see what comes of this. Hopefully Loads and of Money.


4th: So tonight is the night of the PPC opening. Tto ensure that we avoid all the speeches etc etc,I am hoping that we arrive late. Just in case I am missed I have asked Freddy (seen here on the left somewhere near the Rockies, basking in the sun) to be there for me. He bears a close likeness to me so I shouldn't be missed.

Since I handed in my Spier proposal I have been trawling the web looking for interior designers. Thought it might be good to get these people interested in my work. But I have noticed a very worrying trend, a large majority of the sites I have seen are really poor, some diabolically so. My favourite ones are those that show pictures of toilets. The best of them being the toilet that had an excedingly long length of velvety soft curtain hanging just down beside it. A perfect substitute for when you run out of loo paper.


1st: Wednesday delivered Magnum. He has been renamed Rocky Balbarfridge. Everything at the PPC show looked so pretty and nice. Magnum, well he just looked like a gruff old donkey in a paddock of cute little horses with manes that lovely little girls like to tie fancy little pink bows in. Guess that means I've won then.

Thursday almost lost PC as well as my Spier proposal in the bargain to a Virus - nice one mate you really made my day.

Friday went and helped WESSA to set up a Veggie tunnel for a school in Daveyton, just east of Johannesburg. Rushed back to Pretoria to hand in proposal.

Saturday helped with a charity art thingy and I sold something. FAN TAS TIC. One less thing to have to find a home for.
