hi, i'm back ... over the jetlag ... will post some photos soon of america but until that happens here is something else ...
On wednesday night there was a show on ABC called HEAD FIRST an episode titled 'The Lost Boys'
The program was filmed here in Yirrkala and has some of our / mine co-workers and friends in it - DJ and Ruby in particular as well as one of the prints I made with DJ and the printspace and the art centre and it so it is good to see altho maybe a bit sad and revealing too

Here are the photos of the week with Paul and Bess and Tacee at our print space

we had a great week.  Paul got busy getting the artists to try his new (to us) techniques with a white ground and drypoint on aluminium ... Bess got busy taking photos (thank you Bess) and Tacee got to see another print studio and how things can happen in remote areas ... we did take them out on the boat too and for a couple of bbq's and beach time but mostly we made them work,  work,  work ....!
