From the Byron Shire Echo (via my backpack):

'Lean and posey, like a ferret, Mungo gets the Archibald treatment from 30 artists as part of FEHVA at the A and I Hall in Bangalow. Here Camilla Connolly layers oil onto her piece while Ariel Schlesinger's blue Mungo looks on. The Mungo portrait prize is sponsored by the Byron Bay Writers Festival. See another political portrait on the back page. Photo Jeff 'Portrait of the Photographer as an Avid Onlooker' Dawson.'






Lean and posey, like a ferret.

Fucking marvellous. And yes, this is Mungo MacCallum we're talking about...

I've always loved that name, Mungo MacCallum.

And I was about to say how great the description, lean and posey like a ferret was, when my eyes finally treacled their way down the post and awareness popped out of the toaster of my morning mind until finally I was happily satisfied with the whole damn crunchy goodness of your joy.

Point: none.

But I'll still say it one more time...

Mungo.

Sing it with me.

Isn't it a joyous and lovely phrase? Also Jeff 'Portrait of the Photographer as an Avid Onlooker' Dawson. You don't get a byline like that in The Age.

I actually have an aquaintance by the name of Mungo, and it's difficult to not sing out his name every time I see him, so one for the road...

Mungo!
