I've been following the guys at the Mondo Gallery for a while now. Along with my buddy Brian Ewing, I am smitten by the art they produce and may have to work an awful lot harder at getting more of it on the walls here. I wasn't paying attention when these Universal Studio prints went up for sale, so at a vastly inferior level, assuming they are all sold out (but I will check in a second), here I am hanging them on my blog:

First thing I'm going to do when I am in a position to actually have an office is flood the place with art like this. I find it totally inspiring and I think the reason behind that is that I can't draw to save my life. I have no desire to even try - thus, it remains something that I enjoy rather than have a desire to replicate.

On a similar note, it was Rhiannon's first parents evening earlier. I sat down with her art teacher and was blown away by what they're up to there. They're really teaching some great skills and with the wind behind us, so it will continue. I'm kinda hoping that by being honest about art, she'll rise to it and see that there is a solid future in it. It might be hard work, but hey - what isn't! She thinks she might want to be a vet, but I can see otherwise...
