This is it,.. the first post

What's Newtown to you, what's it to me?

I came of age there, among it's huddles of terraces.

The business strip has been almost entirely turned over in twenty years, but the organism lives on.The people of Newtown, in all their diversity, here at the centre of the universe, are a magnet to other diverse people, so business thrives. I am working on paintings of Newtown, it's people, and the idea of Newtown...

If YOU have any ideas or wish to support this project in any way, let me know at biggerbumme@yahoo.co.in or when you see me painting or drawing in the street. Your collaboration, your stories and perceptions, add an extra dimension of truth and beauty to the whole

all the best, John O'Driscoll 0432 513 230
