Shelley Stocken...

Shelley Stocken...An entertaining, fun and clever lady I first saw on Marc Fennell's Mastermind...
So shocked to hear she passed away at the weekend...
Famed for her Twitter coffee tweets...
One of my favourites is below... https://t.co/75ARsKNdRP pic.twitter.com/L7dELPbIla

stand by my little furball...

I too am so grateful for my little furball. She has stood by me for 15, nearly 16 years. She was a stray and walked in. In recent years, my life has been stalked by tragedies, but my little girl has stood by me, loved me. Recent vet visits indicate I must stand closely by her.

jab update...Day 2

PASSING THOUGHT: Jab update... At times, strangely light-headed + a bit dizzy on the feet when walking + slightly headachy continuously + somewhat sore arm...Not sure whether this is just a result of anxiety and/or related to the jab...
Drinking lots of water+taking panadol...

extraordinary young artist...

Extraordinary art from a young girl...
Makenzy not only details a worker's profile, but is closely tuned in to a worker's soul...
The man's facial expression=many tough lifetimes...
How's a young artist able to appreciate such hardships so well...
But she does...and we feel it... https://t.co/Nnz27MPqxu

From Rone's Biography 

'Finding the friction point between beauty and decay is a thread that runs through much of Rone’s work. As a street artist best known for his haunting, stylised images of women’s faces, he understands better than most that beauty can be fleeting. Seeing his artworks gradually worn away by natural and human elements has taught him to appreciate the unexpected beauty of an image as it begins to blend back into its more prosaic surroundings.'
