I emptied the letterbox the other morning and discovered that the new telephone book had been delivered. My first thought was to observe that the telephone book has certainly gotten skinnier over the years. What used to be a 6 cm thick behemoth has now slimmed down to about 1.5 Read more…
Can’t get any last minute than this!! Two days ago I was invited to share a stand at the Sunday Market, TODAY, 6th June. http://www.sundaymarket.nl/ I’ll be outside the Hot Ice Gallery on the Polenceaukade (where my opening was). Come and say hello if you’re in the neighbourhood. My first Read more…
Okay, it’s time to push myself out there again. I’ve booked some gallery space and sent out the invitations. We’re gonna have a party! Here is the invitation. It’s a bit hard to read here, so click on it to view a bigger version. You can also download the PDF Read more…

Okay here we are another 2 months down the track, and we have another spasmodic post. I don’t seem to be very good at this blogging thing. But, I gotta say, that I do have some (reasonable?) excuses. I had several orders after the Big Opening (November 8). I don’t Read more…

I’ve been crazy-busy getting a couple of orders ready since the opening. Finally taking some time out. It was a fine party. Lots of people came, stayed, and drank bubbles. Good fun. The gallery was the perfect location. Gerdur, the owner, has many interesting gadgets and items to look at Read more…
