back to the blog

Posted 12-03-2010 at 08:51 AM by dominicjonfonde
its been a long timne since I posted on here. Mostlky its just work getting in the way of things but partly its because I've had nothing to say. Blogs run the risk of just shouting me, me ,me! Sometimes its nice to just enjoy the silence don't you think?

the death of the printed book

Posted 14-01-2010 at 09:24 AM by dominicjonfonde
The death of the printed book.

Apparently 2010 is the year that book shops go digital. Amazon has launched its Kindle e reader, a device which can be thought of as an iPod for books. In essence it’s a digital slate capable to storing several thousand books so that a person can carry a library in their bag and browse it on the way to work.
I’ve got to admit that sounds fun but when people talk about the death of the printed book I start to worry. I love reading. It’s one of...

new years resolutions

Posted 05-01-2010 at 03:23 PM by dominicjonfonde
So, it’s the 5th January already and those new years resolutions have all evaporated like snow in the Sahara!
I'm working to hard, skipping meals and drinking to much so it looks like it will all be exactly the same as last year. The one thing that I seem to be keeping up with is my drawing regime. Looking through my sketchbook last November I was shocked to realise how badly my drawing skills have degraded and I set my self the task of drawing for at least one hour every day.

Posted 03-11-2009 at 08:45 AM by dominicjonfonde
Following on from my post a few months back, regarding the fact that the average person can read approximately 3000 books in a lifetime here is a list of books that I have not read yet that I would like to.

The remains of the day - kazuo ishiguro
Grass- sheri tepper
death in the afternoon - ernest hemmingway
from the earth to the moon - jules verne
zima blue - alastair reynolds
iq84 - haruki murakami

and believe me there are many more!...

dont touch!

Posted 15-10-2009 at 09:11 AM by dominicjonfonde
I got into an argument recently at an exhibition opening. On spotting a man tapping an exhibit, a very beautiful deep red glass vase with his ring, I politely asked him not to touch.

I was treated to a look of great disdain and was told "I am being careful". Whether he thought he was being careful or not is beside the point. The price tag on the vase was $5000 and clearly he should not have been touching it. "I know all about glass" he then said.

being an artist is not easy!

Posted 09-09-2009 at 11:13 AM by dominicjonfonde
Its worth noting that any job asks for a degree of professionalism. Whether you are a bus driver or a surgeon, a bank officer or staff of Kentucky fried chicken you are expected to meet certain standards and provide a level of service to your customers. It’s interesting (and often infuriating) to note that artists are usually not considered to be professionals at all.

Time and again people joke with me that I must have a great job seeing as how all I do is make art all day. What...
