  The upcoming 51st Grenfell Henry Lawson Festival of Arts will be held Thursday 5th June to Monday 9th June, 2008. Some good news on a personal level is that my image Dog Rocks has been judged the Best Photograph Of The Exhibition in the photography competition. The award to be presented is a bronze statuette which has been sculptured by Michael Mandelc, and it depicts Henry Lawson’s “The Drover’s Wife”. Dog Rocks also won the Open Colour section of the competition. I’ve been kindly invited by Tim Wood, coordinator of the photography competition, to attend the Awards Dinner at Grenfell on Saturday 7 June, 2008 6:30PM to receive the award. There is a distinct connection with Redbubble regarding this achievement. Hop Dac, RB staff member, posted a topic in the main forum informing members of this competition. It was there I became aware of the competition, and I thank Hop for doing so. Upon deciding to enter, I ordered six Redbubble matted prints specifically for the competition. I wrote a journal regarding the quality of the matted prints on April 19, 2008 and it can be found here. I’m pleased to say that Redbubble and its community have played a significant role regarding this achievement and I highly value the continued encouragement given by Peter Styles, Redbubble staff and Redbubble members. The achievement is dedicated to my mate Joe Mortelliti, for it was because of him that Dog Rocks was photographed on August 25, 2007. Special thanks to my family for their continued support. Folks, enjoy your creative pursuits here at Redbubble and beyond. Cheers, / Darren.

• Dazza's Top 10 secrets to affording art

  Having reached the ripe old age of 40, and fast approaching 41, I’ve successfully steered my way through life by gathering items which have lead me to utilising some surplus funds to purchase art. Being a tight arse has its benefits. So, here’s my Top 10 secrets to affording art. 1. When on holidays, skip the expensive eateries and head to McDonald’s for a medium-sized Quarter Pounder meal. Always leave the family restaurant with plenty of napkins for use at home. 2. When visiting your parents, arrive just before meal times. Do not call them announcing your intention to visit. 3. Investigate the best gardens in your neighbourhood during daylight hours for the best flowers to cut. Return with scissors, bucket and torch just before dawn for the freshest blooms. 4. Purchase cheap cask wine and drink at home whilst watching free-to-air television. 5. Never leave coffee, tea and sugar sachets, toilet rolls, pens and tissues in your cheap motel room on departure. You’ll be surprised how useful these items are when putting together Christmas hampers. 6. Search your neighbourhood to see who has the newspaper delivered each morning. You work out the rest, BUT, don’t get caught! 7. Borrow your friends new release CD’s and do what you have to do. Copies of such make excellent birthday and xmas prezzies. 8. Never, I repeat, NEVER, buy a calendar. Visit your local pharmacy during December/January and ask politely for three calendars. If you only receive one, return again the next day and ask politely. If queried, say the neighbours pet Bullmastiff ate the first one. Repeat until you’ve secured three. 9. Fly Jetstar. 10. Gently steam stamps from envelopes for recycling purposes. So there you have it – Dazza’s Top 10 secrets to affording art. Whilst visiting this journal entry, carefully and slowly browse through my entire portfolio of images and select at least one to suit your taste and decor. Don’t be a tight arse and buy cards though. Go for the largest framed print option. Happy purchasing.

  I know I’ve been hibernating for a while but someone (DS) woke me up. He seems to like my contentious threads – and who am I to argue? Well as it happens, arguing is my thing..so tell me.. Why is it there is so much nudity masquerading as art on this site? Red Rag is no prude but he’s not stupid either… Why do people kid themselves that just ‘cos it’s nudity it’s art?

  “Leo” was featured in the group Art Inspired by Dreams. I think the system for this group is that all new work posted is automatically featured! / Mildly disappointed that my work isn’t featured because it’s any good but at least this way i do get work featured occasionally.

  My theory that Art Inspired by Dreams had a democtratic system of featuring all new work is wrong. / “Virgo” hasn’t been featured / “The Eyes of Argos” has been featured. I just couldn’t believe a group could like my work enough to feature so many. / thank you wonderful moderators!!
