Work of the Week – ‘Virgin and Child with the Infant John the Baptist and St. Anne’ by Leonardo da Vinci
I saw this at the National Gallery a couple of years ago and it blew me away. It’s just an incredible drawing.
A song for the weekend Oh Why – Balam Acab
Work of the Week – ‘From here it all looks the same’ by Claire Brewster
She sits at her desk cutting up old maps with a sharp knife. This is one of her results. More from her can be seen here.
A song for the Bank Holiday weekend Slow Magic – Youths positive energy and happiness is what this tune is all about.
We are made of stars you and I
At the moment I work during the week and spend every evening after work and every weekend applying for jobs. So I have no time to be creative. This will be my last creative output for a while then…
Song for the day Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters ‘Accentuate the Positive’
Work of the week – ‘Telepoem 1969′ by Sweeney Read
Although the style of this work is very different to mine the sentiment is the same. It reminds me of Yoko One telling us to take a walk and look at the clouds. There is something sentimental about this work and I embrace that. It’s actually a screen print just 4 by 5 centimetres made to look like a telegram.
Reed is from Melbourne, he came to London briefly to ‘find himself’ then returned to Melbourne ‘with a sense of purpose and direction’. I’m sure he left a few broken hearts along the way. It’s important to realise he didn’t write this poem, but received it from a friend who clearly loved him.
I do hope they got to walk the sky and have a few silent words together.

Work of the week – ‘The Major World Troublemaker Beetles’ by Gregory L Blackstock
Gregory is an Artist Savant who creates visual lists of everything. I’m not absolutely keen on all of his work but the animal paintings I do like.
