Day 170 - Tues 25th Aug: Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane

Went for a bit of a browse at the GoMA in Brisbane...didn't really see much there that I liked, except this sculpture made from a couple of Vespas. It's called 'The Stags' and it's by Patricia Piccinini. There was some artsy description about all the multi-level meanings it represents. Blah, blah, blah. I just thought it looked good!

Day 139 - Sat 25th July: Top Didj & Art Gallery

This is Manual, he's an artist that paints in a traditional aboriginal way. He taught us how to use grass paintbrushes and a patterned line style to create our own mini-masterpieces.

Day 118 - Sat 4th July: Finlay Alley, Melbourne

There's loads of good graffiti/street art around the side streets of Melbourne. The tourist info office can provide you with a guide to all the hot spots. This Hitchcock one was one of my favourites.

Day 117 - Fri 3rd July: NGV Ian Potter Centre, Melbourne

Look! It's me! In another reflection! In another gallery! (Well, they are free to go to)

More art from Melbourne - here's some lights in Federation Square, from a display called 'Volume'. Why 'Volume'? Well it plays some music too (see what they did there?).

Day 109 - Thurs 25th June: National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne

Excitable and enthusiastic security guard + reflective art box thing = interesting photo?

Day 85 - Mon 1st June: Kaikoura

I tried to go whale watching in Kaikoura today, but it was way too windy for the boats to go out. This is the closest I got: a mural outside the local library.

Day 84 - Sun 31st May: Drove up to Kaikoura...

...but didn't take any pics today. Here's a recent-decent from yesterday - taken outside the Christchurch Art Gallery.

Day 3 - Weds 11th March: The Met, NYC

There's so much to see at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, but one of my favourite things was this 'mirror ball' thing by a guy called Anish Kapoor. It's made up of loads of hexagonal mirrors. When you moved closer to it there would be 100s of small reflections; when you moved away there would be one big reflection of you. Weird, but cool.
