In fact the day my Gradualte Certificate of Mathematics arrived in the mail, was the day I could put it in the bottom drawer as I got an Art position!!!! I just completed my first term....very steep learning curve but so far....so good. http://gcomninos.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/52dd355fb05695adc326771953750477_473ace0b.writeback Wed, 14 Nov 2007 04:29:31 -0600 It's been a long time since posts. Been very busy trying to pass a graduate certificate of maths..HO HUM (at the Catholic University)....need to teach maths as art teaching positions are like the proverbial "hens teeth!!" Got to do a day at Middle Head artists colony on the beautiful Sydney harbour. I did portraits using "line trace monotype" Need not have worried about "customers" (the sign read "free portraits, victims required!"). For six and a half hours had a long line of boys and girls all dying to be imortalised! A fun day of drawing and I even got payed for my efforts. It was just great to be doing something vaguely "arty" again. http://gcomninos.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/3edbd28f6f0b35b5b7c2252bd67048e4_4550476c.writeback Tue, 07 Nov 2006 02:44:28 -0600 It is with great sadness I announce that the fantastic Art gallery "Newport Artworks" has been destroyed by fire. The works of many artists were lost in this tragedy. I hope that all and sundry get behind the owners Gemma and Gary who have always been so supportive to emerging talent. They are opening a new gallery just a few doors up from the old one and I'm sure with the right support it will be just as good if not better than the old one !!!! http://gcomninos.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/f7d1f0b0ab2ee68082d9375cbd940cd7_454290f6.writeback Fri, 27 Oct 2006 18:06:30 -0500 On Sunday the 12th of November, Headland Park at Lower Georges Heights, Middle head Rd Mosman(the colony of artists at middle head) is hosting "Art in the Open".

This mixed media work has the look of a religious icon and is housed in an old notice board that once lived on the wall of the old East Sydney Technical College bakery. The text is hand engraved on the glass. The image itself is gold gouache, water colour, pastel, pencil and ink. This work is currently for sale through Newport Artworks. http://gcomninos.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/af4d3e44835fca74e9d1bd86e7b1f7ec_44b4e916.writeback Wed, 12 Jul 2006 07:20:38 -0500 Waverly Woollahra held its annual exhibition (5th- 9th of July).

The artists who work there are my friends and invited me to put some work up it was a great day and I highly recommend a visit.

Its animated with my Gifs and read by professional voice talent Chuck Brown. Chuck also wrote a beautiful piano introduction for it! http://gcomninos.zoomshare.com/2.shtml/b80fcac961e0340340155ba8a815448a_43d36e02.writeback Sun, 22 Jan 2006 05:35:30 -0600 Please go to links page of my site and click on the link titled "The City Zoo". It's the feature book on the Bab Book website. This is an animated story I wrote and illustrated back in 1996 (before I attended art school). Each picture is animated and although the "art" is a bit naive, it's still cute!
