Three Apples



Next month is the Three Apples exhibition to celebrate Hello Kitty's 35th Anniversary. The show will be held at Royal/T in LA and feature over 60 artists. I'm excited about this show - the opening sounds like it will be a great night, I'm just sad that it's all so far away and I can't join in the fun.

Wild flowers in WA



I just got back from a week in Western Australia. I had never been to WA before, it somehow seemed a lot more Australian than Victoria, the botanic gardens was almost exclusively native plants. I finally get why the national flower is wattle. The damn thing is everywhere.

I know looking at holiday photos can be a bit dull, so I've kept it to just a few (I took over 1000!). And this is kind of related to art in the form of inspiration and reference.

I found the wreath flower, it was somewhere in the middle of nowhere (as you can see from the photo). They (the friendly tourism office?) tie pink ribbons around trees and poles that have wreath flowers near them so you can find them more easily.


Wattle. Is it a flower or a plague? I'm really not sure.

Lesueur National Park - kinda felt like there should be dinosaurs wandering around for some reason.
