a new resolution

Hey all, to start I'd like to say another apology, quite like the ones made in the posts in May (eek). I am dreadfully sorry for not blogging more regularly, school has taken over my life, but I'm making a pre-HSC (aka big end of year exams coming up in October) resolution to blog during my breaks in attempt to be slightly productive while not studying. Thank you to my friend Deb who persisted in asking "when are you going to blog?" and I thank her dearly for being such an avid reader... when I post that is. So here it goes. Before I blog any of the postcards I have received this month, over the next few posts I'm going to show you some of the postcards I have received in the past 2 months when my blogging was lacking...

Here are some funny and awesome ones:

Some of my friends and family will find it ironic that I'm posting this, considering I have quite a bad phobia of dogs... but this one is very cute - as an image anyway... if it was really... well lets just say I would be very far away,

1.Shiva - Pet Portrait Series, 2009 by Toby Dutton - who actually has a blogger too, check it out here. There are some really cool sketches and the like.

The next is another furry creature, the composition and colour choice - despite appearing to have eaten a bird - I rather like, it reminds me of a child opening its mouth as if to say "I'm done, look!"

2. Little Devil by Carla Fletcher, 2009 - who too has a blog, check it out here! There is some really cool stuff :D

I love this postcard, all the boxes and squares and little images mixed in with the information. It is an advertisement for the 17th Biennale of Sydney, a rather cool exhibition of contemporary art all over Sydney in spaces like The Museum of Contemporary Art, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Cockatoo Island and others. I went to cockatoo island last time the event was on and there were some really cool - along with some rather strange - examples of contemporary art. However due to my delayed blogging the event is over, otherwise I would have recommended going to check it out.

I think I'll leave it here for now, but do watch this space for some more soon :D The count will go up slowly because I want to keep secret the number of postcards I have obtained since my blog in May... I will let you know when I hit that number... :D
