The Stench of Eureka

Posted on July 14, 2015 by AHC McDonald

Stu, exiled from our state of post vibrancy, has landed in Ballarat, where the stench of Stockade karaoke pre-pre-vibrancy reeks from every brick orifice. A lesson for Fremantle here. It takes two to facade. A Miniorb for Gen Y. One … Continue reading →

Posted on May 17, 2015 by rottobloggo

TWOP is world-famous for its pitiless panoramas. One of the best is the cheerful bloke getting out of his ute in – where was it? Hacking? Topping? I can’t find it. Here’s a familiar place from that fern-burning Juliet balcony … Continue reading →

Architecture

Posted on May 12, 2015 by AHC McDonald

Wrote a piece for Teh Architect Journal. As did Alannah and She-Ra. If you thought mining journos can drink, I’ll put up an architect against them any day. From the various chats I had, (although I may have been babbling … Continue reading →

Two art critiquing pieces this week. One by Dave P. Good ideas indeed. The offending piece (in the museum) was apparently this. And Alasdair sees the self congratulating sign for The Art Gallery of WA has gone very post-vibrant, although … Continue reading →
