Dr Sketchy


I have been to a few Dr Sketchy events in Auckland and Wellington, I wish I could make every one, they're fun and make a change from regular life drawing. I'm not making a lot of art right now. At the moment I'm working on some hand painted journal pages and I'll post a photograph when done - is part of a collaborative project. Meantime, because I've been lazy and not posting on this blog I decided to post other links to things I'm interested or involved in.

Dr Sketchy for example!!

National Contemporary Art Award 2011


Went to see this exhibition last Friday. Inspiring and exciting! The winner was Andre Hemer from Sydney, a painting on the wall of an iphone QR code that linked to a google map showing where Pollock's "Blue Poles" painting is located in the Australian National Gallery.

The above picture comes from http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/CU1108/S00084/winner-of-bold-horizon-national-contemporary-art-award.htm

The catalogue can be viewed online, is nothing like seeing them in front of you though.
