My good friend Daniel Hutchings once suggested that I should, for a while, stop using colour and do some training in drawing.At my drawing class, I was told to loosen-up and draw like I used to paint.
I don't mind either way, it is fun and as long as I can forget about my daily struggles, it is good enough for me.
My little war against the backwaterish attitude has suffered a small defeat.
Although in the end it has been agreed that I was entitled to apply for a grant to print a catalogue of the Outsiders Festival with the Helpmann Academy, being a student of an associated school (in the program or not), the admission came a few days after the deadline has passed.
More an more I have to admit that Adelaide is aiming for the title.
Speaking of which, the SALA Festival is on in Adelaide and surrounds.
As expected, the government, instead of using the event to promote the Festival and Artistic State, is ignoring the festival, the same as it does with all correspondence regarding the Outsiders Festival.
The battle continues.
