I spent another lovely day at Coonar Beach celebrating my birthday with friends. The day inspired me to look back to the last time I had visited. Check out this link for the post I called 'Capturing Coonar'.

Australia
Below is a short blog I posted for my New Mexican friends. I thought you might like to see my latest digital artwork.
Australia is a constitutional monarchy. Our figurehead is the British Queen, Elizabeth 2. Many of our countrymen and women would like to see Australia become a Republic. Others enjoy the 'pomp and ceremony' and history that we share with the 'Motherland', as people once called Britain. This, my most recent work, is titled 'Flora's Crown'.

A busy week ahead
Clinton's exhibition was well attended with quite a few sales on the night and even more in the following days.
Music was provided by Mitchell Browne, a multi-talented, musician, singer, dancer, actor, now studying Psychology on the Gold coast. Mitchell was accompanied by Bryant Barnett. They played an impressive range of instruments from electric guitars to saxophone and cello.
Mitchell had us completely enchanted with his rendition, in French, of an Edith Piaf classic.
Sam McKenna, another of the Linen's faithful young fans was also in town, and came by to visit us, as did Joe Saxby. Joe is another very talented young singer/songwriter.
It is quite remarkable, the amount of talent Bundaberg is turning out, and it's hard to see our young friends leave for the cities for their studies. But they come back and visit us at the Linen, and that is wonderful.
Tomorrow I have a photoshoot with Sam. A good opportunity to catch up on her news. Talk soon!

Chilling out!
At last it's time to chill out a little. All my major projects are finished for the year, so I can relax a bit before Xmas.
I wanted to tell you more about my time at The Edge.
I am so grateful to Flying Arts and The Edge for sponsoring the Digital Art Award at the recent Qld Regional Art Awards. My prize was a fully funded two week residency at The Edge.
The Edge is part of the State Library of Qld, and it allows the opportunity to experiment across the arts, technology, science and enterprise.
You can reserve a bay window (overlooking the cityscape and Brisbane River) for solo or group work. Book a mac to use specialist creative software and record, edit and mix music in Lab 3.
There are free beginners workshops in the basics of design, film animation, music recording and more. You can pay for one on-one tutoring by appointment also.
You can meet up with collaborators and a creative community. A range of meet-ups take place in the space for face-to-face networking or you can join them on Facebook and Twitter.

Daniel Flood and his staff do a great job and are very friendly and supportive.
During my stay I had tutoring to improve my key framing skills, and I attended two workshops relating to Video mapping. I also made myself familiar with some of the best software on the market today. I'm not yet up to learning that software, but I will get there some day with the help of the folk of The Edge.
Since my return home, I have been trawling the net for more video mapping information.
Attached is a video of a very basic mapping I have made with simple software on my iPad!!. What next!!!??? This video looks to the rear of my studio, with 4 plinths close to the front.
