The King and the Calligragher
A story is told of a King who summoned the nation’s best living Calligrapher and demanded of him that he make a drawing to symbolize the Kingdom. The Calligrapher reassured his lord as to his loyalty and left to undertake his task.
Days passed; then weeks. The King sent a messenger to the Calligrapher’s remotely located studio to find out what was happening. The messenger returned with the report that the drawing was not ready. Months came and departed. Every envoy to the Calligrapher was curtly dismissed with the same information; that the drawing was not yet complete.
After years had passed, the King could contain his impatience no longer and stormed off to the Calligrapher’s studio himself. The Calligrapher is sitting there, quietly and evidently quite at ease. The King is furious, ‘Where is my drawing?’ he shouts. At this the Calligrapher bows silently, pulls a large sheet of paper towards him, sets a variety of jars before him, picks up a brush and, within two minutes, has executed the most wonderfully sinuous design to represent the Kingdom.
The King can scarcely control his rage, ‘If it is so easy, why have I had to wait so long?’. Still maintaining his silence the Calligrapher goes to the back of his studio where there is a large alcove with doors reaching from the floor to the ceiling. He opens the doors and out onto the floor pour thousands of study drawings.

Local artist, Alex Gillies is having his 2nd art show on Friday the 4th of June 2010 at Doggett Street Studio in New Farm to show what he has been working on in the last year.
Last year’s show was amazing and from what I can tell, his skills and processes have only gotten stronger over the last 12 months. Come along and see for yourself.

I have had this idea in my head for a while now, so I finally committed myself to it by drawing it up. Give me time with this one.

Behind my office is this intense chilli tree. It is pretty serious business standing about 2 metres high and branches over hanging on it our side of the fence. I’m planning on cutting off a branch when they ripen a little more.
So, I took it to myself to grab some the chillies, open them up and plant them. Let’s see how this works out.
Also, I had some seeds from last years Halloween pumpkin carving session. So I decided to plant those finally.
Time will tell whether this works out or not.

First painting I have done since I was high school.
Acrylic/Enamel/Ink on Canvas.
I did this mainly as a test for a piece I have been asked to do for a local band and wanted to see if some of the ideas I want to use would work and be successful. I am stoked on the outcome of this, so I am going to start on the major piece shortly.
