I’m appalled to announce that the weird little book I’ve been wittering on about for ten years is now available for Pre-Order. It’s a travel guide to a “Hell for Artists”.

Gearing up for another week of trade! On the agenda this month ~ reshuffling the shop floor and putting together our first ever central festive display (which I'm a bit jazzed about)! 🎄
It's tough going for so many small businesses (and for most people in general) right now, so we're especially grateful for the support of those who are able. x

Given that the world’s taken an abominable goose-step to the right, if anyone’s in the mood for some classic Kabarett, head to the Factory Theatre on the 29th October. ONE NIGHT ONLY. #ObligatoryBluesBrothers #SydneyTheatre #Vaudevillains

ALT Tightly cropped image of a white t-shirt showcasing an art print of a retro/pop art illustration of a green frog - it's sitting on a lilypad, and has a mug of tea with the words 'organise' on the teabag. The words "radical leftist scum" sit at the bottom of the graphic tee.
I am a DELIGHT, I tell you.
(my book is also a delight. A perfect gift for the malingering wastrel artist/writer in your life, which might be you.)
And a very special shout-out to the wonderful @AValliard, who I had the absolute pleasure of meeting after the workshop. Such a thoughtful, fascinating and generous soul, who very kindly gifted me a copy of their book. Our lovely conversation was a highlight of my evening. Thank you so much, A x

“A feature of fascism is the transformation of politics into spectacle. Fascism wants to reduce active citizens into voyeurs—especially voyeurs of cruelty and death. Such degradation of a democratic public is key to fascism’s project and to its success.”

In a belated #TranslationDay nod, very fond of Antonina W. Bouis’ rollicking translation of Bulgakov’s “A Dog’s Heart” (@almabooks 2011):

It took tens of thousands of years for nature to create this distinct species of wolves, now on the brink of extinction
And with a mere signing of an order to shoot them and with a smile on his face Trump can wipe them of the face of the Earth forever
La vida de este lobo vale un millón de veces más que @SecRollins
Los lobos mexicanos NO representan una amenaza real para la industria ganadera. Solo 0.5% de las pérdidas de ganado son causadas por carnívoros nativos; hechos, no mitos!

Borneo's tropical rainforests have existed for an estimated 140 million years

Leaving nothing but death and destruction
In such a rush Indonesia even brings in the army to speed up logging
En la isla de Bormeo, en Indonesia, una madre orangután y su pequeño hijo deambulan por tierra arrasada buscando algo de comer, después de que su hábitat natural haya sido destruido para plantar aceite de palma.
Esta imagen apocalíptica define a donde nos lleva el capitalismo, hay que escoger entre la destrucción del mundo para que unos pocos se llenen los bolsillos o salvar al planeta tomando los medios de producción para acabar con esta barbarie.

“People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive. It is as though they were traveling abroad.”
