Pleasure Grimhilda,.....

ah we only dream of a white Christmas here :) My family is of Scottish and Irish descent (via Scotland) so we are displaced in Oz, strangers in a strange land, even after a few generations ;) But we don't tell the locals that!

My day job is boring and almost well paid, so I only work three days a week. I always wanted to do books, and to tell stories, so using my 'art' in the process gives me a chance to tell them with the tools at hand. The money part is an epiphenomenon , in that if the 'art' makes money, then you have more money/time to make art.

My house is also full of art materials. You can never have too many tubes of paint, pads of paper, canvases! ;) Even if they are still unused when you shuffle off the coil.

The problem I find is that modern architects put too many windows in houses. If there were more walls then there would be more space for paintings. !

3d Printing is pretty exciting. Making kinematic sculptures would be somewhere I would like to go with the process.
