The Art Of Fighting


The foundations of JUDO by Yves Klein, beautifully reprinted by The Everyday Press, and availiable through Donlon Books, London.

My Interest in Judo, what fascinates me, is Movement, and while the end of the Movement is always abstract and purely spiritual, It can be combined with the passion and emotion of the moment. Yves Klein, 1952.

City Hatters


I love this store, it was nice to observe its unchanged state today...something of a local institution that I walked by everyday on the way to art school.

A renowned and historic Melbourne institution, City Hatters has survived the test of time and the vagaries of fashions and trends for almost a century. It has survived depressions, recessions, good times, bad times, hat times and hatless times
