TripodDogGallery art by Leith Semmens

Leith's fingers and hand in a grey woven glove. The finger covers have been roughly cut in half to allow finger tip feeling.

Nothing says high fashion like working in a studio at 7 degrees temperature.

A little more detail from my new drawing "Circle of Life". Each circle represents a neuron. The image will be more descriptive when finished, but essentially, it will show neuron activity and EEGs.

Hope to see you there (South Australia)

A dog walking across plastic laid on the floor in preparation for paper art to be worked upon

Once again, Bailey very kindly helped with laying out a new drawing.

Large white piece of paper with random black ink brush strokes.

I started the general loosey goosey ink layout for the next drawing. Due to its size, it needs to be laid out on the ground. While drying in the sun, Bailey kindly chose to be part of the process. Just a little walk, then lie down...

The beginnings of a new drawing. It won't be all that big, only about 1.5 metres by 2 metres. Trying the introduction of origami. So when completed, it will need to be unfurled and folded to reveal the full image.

Drawing about 4 metres by 1.5 metres, millions of tiny hand-drawn circles, about 1 millimetre each.

The drawing table used by Leith. Three large photography lights with defusers shine upon the surface. Part, about 1 metre square, of an abstract and detailed drawing is visible. A further 6 metres is rolled under the table surface. The drawing is partially protected by plastic.

My 6 metre drawing is nearing completion. However, only about 70cm is visible here, protected by plastic. #inkdrawing #contemporarydrawing #artiststudio #queerart #abstractart

A further option is to contact the police. There are significant penalties for photographing kids in some circumstances. But contact the Electoral Commission and place a formal complaint.. Don't contact the candidate as they will gain your name and address from the electoral roll.

Carrickalinga North Abstract Cartography continues. Cramming a quarter of an hour into about 5 minutes. It's very meditative, but super duper slow.

If you have expressed a negative opinion about Donald Trump, either on social media or in private texts, you may be denied entry into the United States.

Think about that when you're booking your next holiday. I can't imagine why anyone would visit 🇺🇸 right now.

The paper is 10m long but shows about 1.5m spare. Drawing uses Rotring engineering pens. Thousands of hand-drawn circles are shown, less than a millimetre in diameter, creating black and red patterns.

I'm back, working solidly in the studio. It has been challenging to be consistent due to the heat.

Don't worry too much. Most US allies think it's become a gangster state. There are concerted efforts emerging to undermine the role the US plays internationally. Everyone knows the cult will expire when POTUS moves onto the great real estate opportunity in the sky.

Why?

Due to extreme heat we are closed today.

We faced some major issues, however things have become a little easier over the last decade. Having people set up protest camps for months out side our house, dog poisoned, and family threatened at their front doors has thankfully become less common.

Looking forward to seeing how this works. Will indervidual artists be able to seek assistance, or will the theme be targeting organisations?

Creative Australia makes significant investment to support creative climate solutions ...

Proud to be part of Creative Climate, Australia's new peak body for climate responses in the arts as part of @reworlding.bsky.social. Look forward to working with artists and arts organisations keen to adapt to climate change.

Nah. The step off is into a dusty ground depression that flood in winter

Ditto. My town is so small there is no public transport. The nearest requires a 16 km walk. To reach complex medhelp requires a two and half hour bus trip one way. Only one bus per day so accommodation is required.
