The Artist's Garden

If you know my blog well, you might remember I posted a photo essay on the marvellous attributes of the Artist's Garden. The artist being the incredibly talented, infamous and well known (my neighbour) and treasured friend,, Magnus Irvin. You may also know him as Captain Magno, the proprietor of the Daily Twit Magazine and host to a thousand performances, maker of films, automata, mural painter extraordinaire, Master Print Maker and 103.76 other amazing creative outlets.

The Artist's Studio

I will bring you the Artist's Studio as another installment. It's like the garden but even better. The Artist has gone fishing today in the hope of having a close encounter with a large Tench. I have been promised a photo. Of course the fish will not be eaten, but may become part of a temporary installation as...(stop there, no I'm only joking.) he will put it straight back from whence it came as a serious angler should.

Without Further Ado

I bring you the latest additions to the Artist's Garden. There are some new mannequin parts including a pair of legs which I found and donated. There are plants growing straight out of bone marrow as plant pots.. ingenious and there are some characters and props from Magnus' amazing films, now retired to the back lot at Irvin Studio's. The photos need no further introduction so I will title them accordingly. Please enjoy these images responsibly. over indulging in Art can damage your health.
