have a lurk.

after many years of piecing this space together (that being the one i take up in my 'share house') i've finally come to an end with the main wall! this is something i'm fairly proud of, as it's been a work in progress for more than six years since i moved in here. it's a bit of a 3D collage of all the little sentimental pieces that inspire me. plus, it's something pretty cute to wake up to every morning..

this one's a bit of a close up of my phrenology head, which despite many rumours, is NOT possessed.

for arts sake 2011.

this is an exhibition that'll be held on Wednesday September 28 at COFA (main gallery,6pm-9pm) showcasing the work of 400 artists, each canvas the same size and starting price.

highly recommended.

there's something about amsterdam.

now, we all expect the standard seedy grin that comes with an exaggerated, "nudge nudge, wink wink" reaction when anyone talks about amsterdam, but it's actually a lot more than suggestive alley ways and agreeable cafes.
some of the finest street art and most amazing culture i've experienced hangs amongst the bike riding, flower growing, creative types that roam the streets with a kind of cred that hs to be earned.

there's a "too cool for school" attitude that takes over and you kind of begin to talk the talk (within linguistic reason) while wishing 'home', wherever that may be, was this amazing.
it's hard to keep your wits about you with so many snippets of ultra-fantastics to see, but just passing through 'cycle-donned streets and miniature crevices of street art domain, opens so many loop holes of mind expansion, that i can't even remember where to begin.

so here's to amsterdam! a toast, for the red-lightiest, cafe delightiest city a cookie cutter lover could ever ask for!
