Hard News: Presentation and Reality, in reply to Steve Barnes,

Could be a fund raising calendar in this...
Marketing would be a field day:
"Buff Boffins"
"Merry Quantum Physiques"
"Test Tube Babes"
"Buyer Chemistry"
"DeSIRe - A Lab of Love"
"Recherché Researchers"
"In their element..."
Not so much a Calendar

A4isms...
on stooping to google...
I find others have well and truly beat me to this
bloody morphic hive mind
(or obvious word plays)
Damn, and I thought I was being clever
c'est la viethere have been A4 exhibitions in the past in NZ
based I think on those early cigar box exhibitions
- there used to be a gallery in Chchch that had an
annual exhibition where all art work was restricted
to the common size of a cigar box lid
and this guy - Ed Musante tooand then there's the Cornellesque assemblages using
cigar boxes as a common starting point... like Spencer BohrenI like the Alexander Bartleet creations
- plasticscene strata sortaI'm enjoying your blog Mr Cauchi
and love your line art
(we share a fascination with Mayan Codex it seems)
have you thought of doing an artist's Music Muse compilation
- like this oneand you mention artists books have you made any of these
and I wonder if you'd like to make cards of some of your works
(pin money perhaps - but spreads the ideas)
I ask because I am set up to print and produce
cards and small booklets (shameless self-promotion)
(I Print David Haywood's excellent
Albert the Otter book - The Hidden Talent of Albert Otter )
if you are interested in exploring that idea - email me
(I've reactivated my email link above
- time to reconnect with the world....) -

Cup day photos from The Press, The man is a self promotion machine ..

Hard News: On Science, in reply to Ross Mason,
DSIRerrata...
The Department of Scientific and Industrial Research may have been an apt name. Funny we have to reinvent the wheel so often.
Yeah, when I heard National's R&D policy I thought 'great they are almost getting back to where they were before the DSIR was disestablished' - duh!
Loving that Power-ring thingy - very Green Lantern
