Here’s a distinguished Australian art expert talking about art. Please don’t watch this video if the F-word offends. The actor is Eric Bana and he’s playing the role of career criminal Mark Brandon “Chopper” Read. The Vincent/ear thing is worth noting as Chopper cut off his own ears.. and I believe he was shot several [...]

I have been grocery shopping and brought home some meat and vegetables. There’s the t-bone steak for the carnivores. They say carrots are good for the eyes. Chicken is a popular. Potatoes are boring, I don’t care how they’re cooked. Minced meat for spaghetti bolognese.. mmmm. And some bacon if you don’t mind eating pink [...]

Home is worth the long wait if you have a slow internet connection. The makers of the film have more videos on their YouTube page. I stopped reading books and news on the environment a while ago as they’re just too depressing, but with this one they at least throw in a little hope towards [...]

Art News Blog is FIVE years old. That must make me some kind of blogger or arts writer or something. I’m most comfortable with the “something” label though. Someone called me an art critic recently and I didn’t know how to react. He said it in a way that was supposed to be flattering but [...]

Artist, palette and portrait. This is Leith in front of a Rory Gallagher portrait.. sharing the same shirt. See more of Leith O’Malley’s work on [...]

This year I finally relented and bought myself an iPod. It’s easily the best gadget I have ever bought and I really don’t know how I lived without one for 33 years! I love it because I can take my whole music collection anywhere, it shuts off the outside world while working in the studio, [...]

Mixing sport and art is a lot like mixing oil and water, jews and muslims, christians and atheists, or any other unlikely combination which doesn’t mix well. But like any generalization, it is often proven to be not entirely true. Sometimes a jew will marry a muslim, a christian will convert an atheist, and good [...]
