So hate to disappoint the few (if any) readers who may be here for a good ol Don Dons rant but today's entry is actually a shout out to some pretty darn talented peeps I know. I think it's only fitting that my first post be a link to something amazing because there aint gon be any more gold like that after this. Do you hearing really politically incorrect things, lots of shameful confessions and someone talking about kebabs a lot? Well then tune in next week because that's about the extent of my repertoire, kids. But this week... let's get our hipster shoes on, our dancing hats poised, our eyes un-blurred and our wallets out as we celebrate one of the most exciting Art Exhibitions to hit Adelaide in a looong time. Check it, yo...

For those who hate clicking links (I KNOW, right?!) here's the gist...
THIS IS A VERY LOUD SCREAM EXHIBITION OPENING
Friday
18:00 until 21:00
- Come and celebrate the opening of 'this is a very loud scream' with Juxtapose Studios.
Showcasing new works from three of Australia's most exciting emerging figurative artists, Alice Dolling( Cash Dolar), Tom Christophersen and Lizi Pratt.
Three multi-disciplinary-popular-culture-pistol-whips, who have created a seething mass of new paintings, drawings, sculptures and installation work responding to the theme 'this is a very loud scream'.
Bizarre, beautiful and occasionally disturbing, this exhibition will show exclusively at Juxtapose Studios.
All works for sale plus artist created 'merchandise' (including prints and one offs), only for sale on opening night. Exhibition runs til the 13th of December.

These amazing artists are all good friends of mine and I'd support them regardless of their commercial success, but the thing is they don't really even need my support. They are all such diverse and brilliant artists, people who have the talent and insight to create pieces I couldn't even hope to conjure up in my own brain meat area. I'm astounded every time I see what they've been up to and I am slowly working towards owning at least a few pieces from each of them. And this isn't because I'm supporting them, this is because I'm selfish and I know that one day they'll be worth so much more than I paid for them. I'm investing in my own future. But that's cool, yeh? that's like a drug dealer egging on a pot addict to move to a harder drug? It's just good business, you know?!
But to get back to the point, I can't stress enough how freakin sweet this exhibition is going to be. I remember I saw an exhibition years ago that was just called 'Vs'. It was amazing and I wanted so badly to buy some work but I didn't because I thought I'd have time. Years later I can't remember the artists' names, or what else they'd been involved in and I have no idea how to rectify this wrong. Don't do a Donna and regret not attending. Just come along, trust me. I might not know anything about men or relationships or budgeting or healthy lifestyles but on regrets... I am the professor. Hear it, learn it, live it.
ADIOS MUCHACHAS! xoxo
