Final cut . . .
The postman always rings twice . . . . and insanity. . .
Hammurabi, Dorothy Parker, KISS and Ian Rankin . . . .
Ordinary lives?
Self-delusion, Ronin and Man City . . .
argon? neon? not quite . . .
Yesterday I posted a title on….. let’s just say it is a site (ironically) named after an inert gas…..Anyway the title was ‘How to review a novel’ It was refused, and I was told that I should have checked the title (I had) as there already existed an identical title. There were two which referred very generically to ‘reviewing books’. I was then told: ” we can’t see how you can differentiate between book and novel as they are one and the same’. After I pointed out that around 70% of books published are non-fiction, they accepted the title. The site’s tagline is “where knowledge rules” ….
and they don’t get much more ‘everyday’ . . .
I always say that I enjoy drawing the everyday, normal object… the banal…. and they don’t come much more banal than the rusting base of a large umbrella….. note to self: get out more . . .
PS the object below is a kid’s toy . . . a sort of rocking aubergine(eggplant) . . yes, I know
