SOLD!!The night started with a silent auction of around 30 pieces of art by local and national artists, and some by local identities. At the close of the silent auction, the 10 pieces with the highest bid went to an open auction. I was surprised to discover mine was the 3rd highest, with the State Premier's piece at the highest priced. His piece went on to fetch over $1000, whereas mine peaked at $460. No huge sum, but a healthy injection to a good cause nonetheless. The Premier described it as "The bargain of the evening".
All in all, a fun night was had by all, and my ego was stroked within an inch of its life.
Sadness
Your traditional art is pretty damn good too.
I'm glad you liked my art. I think it's where I'm headed. Pain is so two thousand and four.

Life's too short to do the same art twice.
For me, creating art is a lot like drinking from a spittoon. Once I start, it's impossible to stop until I've finished.
Do you still do shows?
I haven't actually given the shows up, as such. I'm taking a long, healthy break, and concentrating more on my art. Tam and I are beginning to go through the motions of writing a show which will hopefully be the swan song for Mr.Tetanus. I think the days of people hurting themselves being a "cool" thing to do are well and truly past. The world can do with one less idiot, and I'm the first to put my hand up for a chance to bow out gracefully.
Mr.Tetanus is over it.

I don't think 'freak shows' will ever be a thing of the past. I'm going to my first live one in a couple of weeks (Norwegian 'Pain Solution') and I'm really looking forward to it.
As for people just hurting themselves 'Jackass-style', I think is completely retarded and moronic.
