WAYFARING
STRANGER
I will be exhibiting as part of a new group exhibition in Dublin's Stone Gallery entitled Wayfaring.
Mary A Fitzgerald: drawn, Carborundum, Etching, Drypoint
Exhibition runs from March 27- April 25. I would be very happy to hear some feedback from this one if anyone gets to see it I think the curators have done an excellent job working within the themes. I will be exhibiting Outpost IV (Bridge) which is one of my favorites. Here is a clip from the game if you want to see where it comes from:
More information and exact location can be found on the gallery website:

PICTURE
OF THE DAY
I fell in love with the rainbow.
It was impossible to find the pot of gold at the end because it was a 2D sprite and it would change location depending on where the camera was positioned. Im a sucker for this kind of kitsch.

ART SCAMBAITING
AMAZINGNESS
I have come across a number of scammers in the past, in fact I had a separate email address when I was required to input my details which I used to tease the old email scammers (King of Spain, Prince of Nigeria and so forth...), but recently my interest in Scambaiting has been rekindled upon discovering a number of people who have done it much better than me.
See, I'm sure we have all got an email from someone claiming they will send you a million quid if you only give them your bank details and passwords. For me they usually end up in the junk folder, but there are people who follow them up and tease them with the promise of paying and get them to send all kinds of amazing junk.
My favorite one was when a scammer contacted a guy pretending to own a graphic design business in Africa. Instead of merely deleting the email the victim replied saying he was part of a fine art dealership and could offer him a 30k scholarship based on his work. Long story short he makes the scammer paint two paintings for him (one of his cat and one of a C64 game box).
I think I really like the art as well. Maybe I'll have a go at getting one myself...
Read the full story here. There is also a few more tales on the website, including one ending up with a very crudely made Laurel and Hardy woodcarving.
