So, I have arrived in Berlin. As soon as I got off the plane and put my things in the guest house, I began exploring and haven’t stopped.
We got approved for 2 flats, and have chosen one, so I shall be moving soon… It’s in a very old building and is cute and quiet.
I haven’t seen much in terms of paintings yet, as I think exploring it’s history first is more important. I have been in many palaces, cathedrals and the such and will be exploring the more darker side of the history here this coming week…
There are no words to describe being in a place that you have heard about all of your life, and then seeing it for real. (Yes, this is the first time I have left my home country, and will not be the last, if I go back at all!)
The camera has been idle until today and is already full. But I wont post anything up until I have something more to say other than trying to express the awe…
Oh, and the food, it’s amazing.
I’ve never lived in Australia so i can’t say what you’ll be missing most but i have been to Germany quite a few times and know that they are a very warm hearted, friendly people. I hope that you’ll be able to come and explore France some time too. As far as Art is concerned you’ll probably notice a very avant-garde spirit in Berlin, it’s a town turned more towards the futur rather than the past. Keep us up-graded on your personal experience! Thank you for your art! Good luck.
this is the first entry of yours that i have read. I got the link from the Surealist Art Collective that I am also a member of. I have been wanting to go to berlin for a few years. please keep us updated!

I am moving into an apartment not too far from that gallery… I am going to go to that opening..I have been waiting to see this place! Then I am going to see the one in London in late March.
Berlin is amazing. Being here, You can see how it is becoming quite popular, but there are still some places that will be around for a while…Artist houses and squats and ruins.. I had an adventure today, but I am running out of internet time, so in a few days I’ll write up something more interesting a better worded!

Hello friend!
How’s it all going… you sound like you’re enjoying being there so far and it’s such wonderful news that you have a place to live… that really helps… now you guys can really settle in and i’m sure you’ll have a studio space soon. I look forward to seeing it all when i come to see you!!!
I have James and Matt coming over this afternoon and have some good ideas for their portrait!
I have Emma here right now also… she left Italy and didn’t inform herself of what her VISA requirements were so here she is… trying to find a way to get back into Italy.
It’s been lovely having her here although V distracting in many ways… we leave in a week and a half and we really aren’t on top of the packing… all the important things have been sorted so i’m resting easy… got to fill some boxes though!
I’m thinking of you often and it’s great to read your little notes and see that you’re happy!
BIG LOVE! X X X
