I'm amazed…
Dear Ye Annunaki, You might have heard that there is a food shortage here on planet earth. It's all lies, lies, lies. There is in fact enough food for everyone and this shared meal is proof of that.

Was struck by the incredible detail of Kurelek's paintings, and also the window onto his life's experiences, in particular growing up on the prairies.

Enjoyed my day at Crowd Share Sunday. Set up my BioDiversiTree branches in the Diversity Art Room! Saw lots of folk from Out of the Ordinary Festival, folk I'd met at Meadowlands Fest - and not seen since - and even someone from BarCamp Brighton! (Wish the pics had come out better!) Shared space with... Continue Reading →
