Current Projects

Guernica: this is a remake of the famous painting by Pablo Picasso. However this time I’m doing it using pieces of the actual town in a kind of collage. It will also feature Justin Timberlake to give it street cred.

The American Civil War in Fish: this project involves re-enacting famous battles of the War of Northern Aggression using our piscine pals. Currently working on First Manassas with haddock (Federals) and skate (Confederates). This also features an open casting call for Col Thomas J Jackson.

Sturm und Drang

One of my many magnum opera. This mixture of opera and confectionery tells the story of Faust as seen by a selection of cakes. I’m currently working on a duet between Helen of Troy and an éclair she thinks won’t go straight to her hips.

The Long Slow Walk To Death

If you’ve ever wondered if there’s a point to existence, this website will avail you not.

Writing for Fun & Profit

Much of my life, too much some would say, has been taken up with scribbling words on paper. In one strange incident I was even typing stuff on aluminium foil. Let us not go into the vicissitudes of genius. In 1987 I bought my first computer, a Kaypro II as recommended by Jerry Pournelle in BYTE magazine. For software it came with Wordstar but I was able to install the PC version (in those we referred to as the IBM version) of WordMARC from MARC Software, which had been the word processor of choice at Collingwood TAFE since it ran on their PRIME computer system. As I upgraded computers I upgraded software, going through XYWrite, WordPerfect, Multimate and finally to Microsoft Word 2.0 for Windows. Now I'm using Microsoft Word 2007 for Windows which I find harder to use than Word 2003 but I'm sure I'll get used to it.
