Tom Polo, MOP Gallery, 5 November 2009.

Thanks.

These seats were really confortable. If they had cushions I could easily fall asleep sitting on one of them. But it's not good to fall asleep in a public place incase someone steals your hand bag.

I went to the opening of Tom Polo's show at MOP.

I like this self portrait of Tom Polo rolling down a mountain. It looks like he was in New Zealand.

I shook Tom Polo's hand.

Shook Douglas Lance Gibson's hand.

Shook hands with Gulsen.

Shook hands with MD.

I got there early and watched people drinking beer.

Note to self: Stop wearing black shoes.

Emily Portman.

Emma Thomson had her series I Want Something Special on wall 2.

Marian and Leah.

It was time to announce the prize for the 2009 B.E.S.T Contemporary Art Prize for Painting.

I had no idea who was going to win.

The judges had a hard time choosing a winner this year.

The winner was Tom Polo.

Tom Polo won the The 2009 B.E.S.T Contemporary Art Prize for Painting.

Afterwards people lined up to congratulate him and shake his hand. Just like I did earlier in the evening.

Fair dinkum.
