Return of the Nudge

So here it is, almost March already. Where DID that time go? It seems unlikely now that I will win Blogger of the year. Is there a blogger of the year? I was once Googler of the Week but there wasn't half the prestige attached to that. Except of course for the big "Googler of the Week" sign i got to fly over my desk. I'm still not sure if I've had a prouder moment.

So given that it is now almost March (which I may have mentioned), that means that time draws ever closer for my first big solo exhibition. And there you see my lack of updates is explained away in one fell swoop. Its the painting you see. And the drawing. And photering (it sounds better methinks). I have been one busy little bee ever since Simon in the Wild Cherry gave me the news. Collecting the pollen. Turning into Honey. I'm not sure if that's a metaphor but i'm gonna leave it right there.

Sooooo anywho. The big show is on Monday week. That being Monday, March 3rd, 2008 in the aforementioned Wild Cherry In Bethnal Green. Funny thing about Bethnal Green. Wait, no there isn't. The Kray twins once got discharged from the army near Bethnal Green but I guess that's not really that funny.

Back to me. I chopped and changed what i wanted to show and what I wanted to work on so many times, that it's only this weekend that I can finally slow down and enjoy the ride. (Please keep your filthy minds clean if you don't mind). I got my Florence paintings back from the framers today and am really really happy. Him indoors told me I was crazy spending big bucks on frames. But then anyone that knows James knows he is cheap as chips. Speaking of which, he is responsible for buying the wine so expect only the best from the bargain bin at Threshers.

So here is a quick snap of the imposing columns that will grace the entrance to the exhibition. Naturally when I asked 'him' to take some photos, given that he is a self-proclaimed master, he must have assumed that i also wanted a self-portrait included. You don't have to look too closely to notice his carcass 'artfully' reflected in the leftmost of the two.



I'm off now for a well-earned break, off to the lovely Adriana's down 'ackney way as they say in these parts, to dance the light fantastic. If not dance, then I will drink wine in a fantastic manner to make up for it.

Later peeps,

Nudge
