Nick Cave: Abuse Not your Muse….or you will end up with one you have to kill. :)
Nick Cave went to Monash for his fine art….I took some art subjects there. I remember having a chat with a tutor ….about “Staying sane in the thralls of a Muse driven Creative process” and how not to turn yourself into an overworked zombie by remembering that there IS a Normal Life. His interview paraphrased the same advise.
Happy Easter! Eggs, eggs, Imperial Fabergé eggs and just normal overpriced chocolate ones!
In the beginning, these eggs were a very very fancy way of sending one another images of miniature Icons of Madonna and Child etc…but instead of coating it with paint or chocolate…they ended up going nuts on gold, diamonds and stuff….lol. Well the rest is just history, isn’t it? Happy Easter!

I also met Peter C. Doherty who is one of Australia’s Nobel Science Prize winner at a talk in London at some point. That was really interesting because I got to watch some cells explode….I think it was mitosis? Or something….
