Based on the contents of an email I receieved a few days ago, I begin this rant about inadequate email-marketing, plus the emotions connected with online marketing. For a long time everyone relied on free photocopy usage and the local retail windows to push their product onto the general public. As customers declined and costs... Continue Reading →
Donating Photography for a Worthy Cause
I am donating three framed photographs! These are from the 20 that I exhibited during my SALA 2010 exhibition, to a silent auction at my day job. One of my work colleagues at my day-job is participating in SuperCycle 2012. What is this all about? Most of us would know somebody who has been affected... Continue Reading →
The Power of Advertising on Social Media
As a graphic artist, I find advertising of my work upon social media is quite effective. Here is today's example of how much a little self-promotion can work: For the last few hours I have been updating my entire Redbubble Tshirt Collection. This has included editing a few works, changing fonts, adding text-shadows, plus lowering... Continue Reading →
Come to South Australia, Go to Kangaroo Island
There I was, working away at what I do best in the day-job office, when across the cubicle a voice was heard to say "There's nothing to do on Kangaroo Island!" - I was gob smacked because I know better. Thankfully I had someone to back me up, yet I didn't feel that we had... Continue Reading →

Quit Today and Save a Life: Yours.
I'm always finding stupid places where cigarettes have stamped out, odd places where someone has mashed cigarette-ends to put out the flame, and drowned where they have been thrown into water-ways (road-gutters, creek-beds, etc). As an ardent anti-smoker, this gets me bloody angry that people can be so careless with what is ultimately a 'dangerous... Continue Reading →

Seeking Wine for my SALA Exhibition
Coming up fast is my exhibition during SALA. Everything is framed, organised, and ready to hang on display. All I need now is wine for the launch of my SALA exhibition! Twenty bottles of mixed reds and white wines would be plenty. This afternoon I told the wife that we may need to buy these... Continue Reading →
Which Photographs to frame for SALA?
Three years ago someone told me about SALA - The South Australian Living Artists Festival. I'd never heard about it, but was fascinated with the idea: An artist could get their legs in the Adelaide art-world through this type of event. That year I had a lot of people pushing me from the side to... Continue Reading →
