John Read sent me some photos and information on the upcoming One Fine Sunday Exhibition:
I was given space (in a former jewelry store, hence the wonderful jewelry cases) in the largest and busiest mall in Mississippi. This is where the exhibit will be through August. In September, the show goes on the road to Disney Toonfest in Marceline, Missouri, then on to Omaha, Nebraska at the Bemis Center.
One Fine Sunday Exhibition
Wish I could zoom in!

The Tim Burton Exhibition at the ACMI
I never really thought of Tim Burton, the film director, as a cartoonist, but the guy definitely shows the symptoms in his ACMI exhibition. Masses of drawings, a vivid imagination and the desire to tell a story, even in just one panel. You couldn’t take photos, so I had fun trying to sketch some of what I saw.

I love going to galleries as I come out feeling inspired. I think that this makes the hour or so I’ve spent in them worthwhile, even though it could be viewed as another form of procrastination – I should have been working on Arctic Circle ideas when I went to the Ron Mueck exhibition at the NGV St Kilda Road. It was so much better to see the actual sculptures rather than the photos as only in real life can you see how his sense of scale messes with the subject.
Dead Dad - strangely poignant
Small babies are disturbing enough - this one was HUGE
This one looks strangely like my friend, Gary from this angle
