Artistes a Suivre at Couiza

This exhibiting lark is knackering.... nonetheless, please visit my show at the Mairee at Couiza. Open 11 - 8 tomorrow, 11 - 6.00 Sunday. All info at http://www.artistesasuivre.org/

Garth Bowen visited today; he has given himself this year off from the Artistes a Suivre. He really took the proverbial by enacting the *frequently asked questions*. Its sweet of people to ask but one does start lying to vary the response, sorry, er, one starts having to reinterpret the work.

Great to see friends old and new. Great to see people who have visited my shows for years, bought and encouraged, not minded that I have changed my style. Great to enter the sense of local pride that the AaS engenders. Great to feel part of something bigger than ones own orbit.

No fun watching the heavens open, even if the earth is desperate for rain. (It means I have to put the lights on and that changes the colours for the worse - and the visitors come in dripping and cold, alas.)

Last night saw the expo that Marcus is hosting at Rennes-les-Bains, Thomas Hallbert's lino cuts. Excellent. T0morrow at 9.30, if the energy holds, it'll be a concert at Les Prés en Bulles in Quillan for les tres brill Les Malfonctionnaires ... a demain!

So had you had fun getting yourself in the papers by exposing yourself?!

Hope you enjoyed the AàS pieces in the Last House.

We had a brill gig with Les Malfs at Quillan

luv, Ed

I did enjoy the Last House... (*See Eddies Swirl link at side of page)Was sad to miss the gig about which there were wonderful reports. Bob was wrecked and I wasn't too frisky either. Will have to absent myself from the AaS next year so I can get to the parties afterwards.
