Apologies for not keeping up with the photo of the week. I've been preparing for a show at the Alt Art Fest in two weeks. This will be my first exhibition of prints for sale. I will be there all three days along with a number of talented new artists and a score of bands and performances. I hope you all can come.

Today, I'm also turning a new leaf on this blog. I am obsessed with the politics of our times, the ever changing and evolving culture and shape of society at large. While this may betray my political leanings, I'm compelled to inform and educate to the best of my ability. As such, I may be posting links to articles, documentaries, news clippings etc. that I find important and noteworthy. I'd like to start with this:

I've recently watched a BBC documentary called "The Century of the Self" made by Adam Curtis. I highly suggest everyone on the planet watches this. It's 4 hours of your life that you will be glad you spent. It's not available on DVD due to copyright issues on much of the footage used. Instead you can see it HERE
There are 4 episodes, each is an hour long.

Curtis also made a doc called "The Power of Nightmares" which is also highly highly recommended. So far there are 3 episodes, each an hour long. You can find that HERE

This has also been released as a bonus of Wholphin, which you should all subscribe to HERE

These two are quite possibly the most important and impartially informative documentaries I've seen and are essential, in my opinion, to understanding just how much our society has been manipulated and shaped by those in power, both on the right and on the left.
