On my morning walk I stumbled across a ginormous rubber duck in Parramatta river. It is very hard to miss such a large inflatable duck.
Rubber Duck is here as apart of the Sydney Festival. Artist: Florentijn Hofnan.

Do you use a lot of images in your work and are constantly looking for new inspiration?
Have you heard about Dover Pictura?
I have been a fan of Dover books for many years and have amassed a healthy collection of the dover books but I recently discovered that you can purchase these images online.
Dover Pictura is set up so that you can purchase the entire book or you can purchase just a page of the book. The files are automatically downloaded to your computer ready for you to use.
I use a lot of the dover images in my teaching and provide students with the images to use in class samples. For me it is a great way to provide a variety of images that are royalty free.
Go check out Dover Pictura now and sign up for the newsletter. If you register for the website you will be emailed a code that entitles you to 3 free image sheets from whatever book you select. How cool is that!
I recently saw a link online to an installation piece in Montreal where they had installed swings near a bus stop. These swings also played music when people swung on them. This was a pretty cool idea and a fun way to add to the daily grind of your commute to work. Although I could see that this would create a lot of people running late for work. I would be one of those people.
This article on the swinging bustop led me to search for other creative bustops that are around the world.
Below are a couple of my favourites.
In an effort to blog more regularly I thought I would give each day a theme to make it easier to blog.
So being Sunday Shoutout, I will feature a blog, business etc that I like and follow.
