This and that

I went up to Palmy on Saturday night for the opening of Jo's show. My favourites were a group of photos on one wall (some of which can be seen behind Simon and me in the photo on her blog), closely followed by the installation in the boardroom gallery. It had to be the photos though. They were very evocative.

I got a bit liquored on Friday night and tripped over. I'm off to the doctor in about an hour or so to find out what I did to my arm. It's been very sore ever since, which is starting to make me quite irritable. I'm going to go on the wagon for a while. I can do without this sort of thing.

Something in Wellington to go to

And there's still more

...crappy photos:

Self-portrait with teeth

This is just the gouache underpainting. I'm not too sure about the background, but as I doubt I'll have a chance to do much more on it till the weekend I've got time to make up my mind.

In other news, Jo has put some photos from Victor's opening up.

Dada-soiree and more

On Friday, I held a one night only private exhibition of works from my collection (as well as some done for the occasion by a colleague's son):






On Saturday, I went along to see the Dead C at the City Gallery. It was pretty good, and an excellent thing for the gallery to put on. More please.

I did a bit of painting on Sunday arvo finally, ripping off an Egon Schiele self-portrait. I'll try and post an image tomorrow. Tonight is Truffaut's final film at the film society. Tomorrow's there's an opening at Hamish's, and on Wednesday a film up at Vic that's part of the show on at the Adam at the moment. I've also arranged to have a friend come round to check out what I've been up to, and to go round to another friend's place to check out what he's been up to. Phew!
