The Website is live!

The website, www.buttlestuart.co.za, is live (and well). The site has had a holding page for a couple of weeks, but now you can find a number of Stuart Buttle's artworks. These include quite a few photographs: Studio tableaux, Portraits and some available light shots. You will also find some images from Stuart's assignments: Portraiture for other artists, flash-free concert photography and some action photos.

Lost and Found

After much searching I found a workable version of an Illustrator file I need for a drawing. It was hiding on the Lacie Rugged drive. (You won't hear too many product endorsements from me, but that drive is awesome. It bounces and gets right back to spinning) Finding that file is fortunate, what maybe cost me 2 hours in searches saved me 10 or 15 hours redrawing. Note to self: give files meaningful names, and then add multiple keyword - _MG_2406.ai means nothing to nobody.

Performance Art: Africa Style

Spent the morning in Cape Town shooting Abri's performance of The Water Carrier.

The Irma Stern Museum's dressing room

There's Someone at the door...


Abri in the bush


Abri began his journey indoors - poor light


This was funny. The opera singer is embedded in an artwork as part of Liza's exhibition. She drones on in three languages, but when Abri came into the room she got spooked and stopped singing.


Abri suffers for his art, or, the pain inflicted by Lyn's bra

Fully Awesome

It is funny, and that means it qualifies.

Driving Sucks


I'll be frank, I hate driving two and a half hours everyday to get to college. But, views like this one go a long way to making up for it

raisins deserve their fate


I don't need one more step between me and toast. nuff said. (Mitch Hedberg said it, check him out on youtube if you need a good laugh.)
