Day 1. Departure Lounge.

Breakfast, although a little later than usual was most enjoyable. Rum, bacon and eggs.  

Waiting in the departure lounge for my spaceship, I mean aeroplane. Imagining what it would be like to go on a journey into space. Europe I'm sure won't disappoint.  History, culture, experience. And that's what it's all about (maybe a little hokey pokey, whatever that means).

 

Later on today / tonight > Hong Kong.

Listening to.

Currently to "Close My Eyes" by I Know Leopard.

"Sydney-siders I Know Leopard make celestial, ‘70s inspired pop tunes with an unintentional penchant for pulling heart strings."

Check them out on Triple J Unearthed (supporting Australian Home-grown music) > here.

Music, sets the mood, lightens the day (or night). Although I myself have never been one to get up and sing or play an instrument (an instrument one day perhaps), I appreciate the talent, the time, the thought, the process and the end result. The journey, the process equally as important as the end result. Much in the same way I like to approach my work.

Art Trade with someone across the sea.

Foraging through Instagram, something caught my eye. An opportunity to trade some of my work with someone else. In this instance, Geneva Lehnert based in Eugene Oregon, USA. After following her wonderful (mostly black and white), very moody and creative moments, I had to take her up on the opportunity. I guess my attention was caught by the tones, the use of natural light, some times a bit of movement.

After exchanging a couple of emails, here's what I have to share ~

From left to right, top to bottom ~ bw monotone sunrays, green thumb, city from above, seagull (winged crusader). All printed on wonderfully thick hahnemühle fine art paper from the wonderful folks Tim & Vanessa at Thirds Fine Art Printing in Melbourne VIC Australia.

I look forward to receiving a handful of her wonderful work :) Credit - @genevalehnert (Instagram)
