So I was nagging Dave Armstrong, standing in for Sean Plunket on NewstalkZB this morning, that local government - ratepayers - shouldn't be forced to fund artists. Art should stand or fall on its merits.
Lovely unintended result. Someone heard me, rang for a price. I referred them to my website to view works and they are coming on Monday to arrange a commission.
Some recent pastels:
4 percent growth ???? Hahahahaha.
ReplyDelete2.8% is "Christchurch rebuilding"
1.2% is "Rugby world cup"
real growth: ZERO
cuts in budget spending: zero.
cuts in civil service salaries: zero
cuts in welfare: zero
cuts in health: less than zero - increases in spending!!
cuts in education: less than zero - increases in spending!!
As Cullen said: it's pretty much what I would have done - I'd just have put up the top tax rate rather than take something like 2% of spending out of KiwiStealer...
I love the one of the Black Lab. I bet the owner was pleased.
