Notes

This image is self explanatory. I produced it to remind myself not to become the very thin that I 'detest' int eh 'art scene'. These possters were posted at Fine Arts Dept NTU and other Arts organizations around Darwin, not as a criticism of these organizations or individuals but rather as a gentle reminder of the pitfalls, we can fall into as visual artists if we forget particular issue such as content and integrity.
