During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I'm growing a Mo. That's right I'm bringing the Mo back because I'm passionate about tackling men's health issues and being proactive in the fight against men's depression and prostate cancer.

The inaugural Taste of Melbourne was quite incredible. Held in the Royal Exhibition Buildings, Carlton, the four day event involved a number of the restaurants featured in the Back of House exhibition. The organizers of Taste approached Gould Galleries requesting some of my work for the public areas of the fair. Rob Gould decided to release thirty previously unseen works on paper, alongside a few remaining paintings from the March show, covering over 63 meters of wall space.
Thousands of food lovers braved Melbourne weather to taste samples from the city's better restaurants and I think it is safe to say, this event is here to stay.

Somers Art Fair
Well I was in Sydney for the Art fair and missed my first Somers Art Fair as a result. Word has it that the school grossed $55,000.00 which exceeds any previous year and that the weather was not even on their side.
The organizers of this event are very professional and it is a load of fun. So, I would suggest that you mark late October 2008 in your diary now!
