The Big Picture by Lennie Peterson for December 16, 2023

Of course, the really hot babes don’t go to Bondi.

The Australian Babes stay out of the water to avoid the box jellyfish. This is a good thing..

I got sent to Australia for 12 weeks in 87. They put me up in an apartment in Coogee (mile or so south of Bondi). After work I had about a 5 minute walk to the beach and went most every day. I dd take a couple trips up to Bondi, but the easy access to the beach in Coogee sort of made it a non starter.

Of course you really can draw, as in the many illustrations of wind instruments in that book and (sometimes) human persons for scale. I still would like to know if the smashing full-color images on the cover of it are your handiwork or clip art.

The (sometimes) perks of being an artist.

This past June I got to walk on Bondi Beach. A week later, I saw “Aida”, “Rigoletto”, and 4 Mozart symphonies at the Opera House.
