Ok. So I didn’t manage to get an exhibition together.
The three of us have been playing ping-pong with the flu for the last six or eight weeks- I tell ya, having the flu is one thing, but having the flu and looking after a bebe’ with the flu as well is quite somethin else! So we haven’t got much of anything done, least of all painting. Unfortunately. But I’m itching to get back into it- hoping to schedule in a bit of time over the weekend to get some paint under my fingernails.
In other news- Check out Artklick. For artists and art-lovers alike, “Art Klick is New Zealand’s new free online gallery designed specifically to help artists sell their artwork and earn income from their passion. We are dedicated to promoting New Zealand’s emerging and established artists by providing a personal profile and online shopping functions, while providing fun events for all the public to participate in.”
Interesting, give it a go, I reckon! The creator of the site is also selling his LEG as advertising space- you can have your logo tattoed on his leg for $500 per square cm. With 2,000 square cm’s on both legs he’s hoping for $1,000,000 worth of “advertising”. Hmmmm
Also interesting are Nubby Twiglet’s article about fighting artist’s block, Steve Pavlina on shaking off the apathy and making money from doing what you love, how gratitude can change your life, and No-impact man’s no-impact living experiment.
I’ll keep working on the exhibition thing- watch this space.

Hey Rebecca – Thanks heaps for the mention and being one of the first members of Art Klick. I am working hard on promoting it to all the NZ tertiary institutes too so the members should keep on rolling in.
Just got to make it to that critical mass of artists and photographers where there is a great selection for buyers. – But already had three sales last week which was really exciting as I havn’t started promoting it to the buyers yet (will soon).
Re the Million Dollar Leg Project – its getting a lot of interest but I am going to lay back off it for a bit while I get a cool flash animated website built to show why advertisers should spend their money on my leg
All the best and thanks again
James
