Advertising, links & click throughs....

Really.

Do you think I'd just publish comments with hidden adverts and links without checking?

Stop it, it wastes my time and yours hopefully.

If you want to advertise, have links or click throughs, then contact me, we'll sort out appropriate compensation and go from there..

Use the 'About me' Tab above to contact me..

So far I have had no financial reward for this, it's been a labour of love.

Thanks.

Both artists have taken the landscape of the Park as the inspiration for their works and are using materials that resonate with industrial heritage of the site, such as tiles and aluminium.

The management of these commissions has been supported by the Contemporary Arts Society.

Yesterday I managed to get up close, inside and up the ArcelorMittal Orbit, thanks to the great guys at ArcelorMittal

The struicture is amazing and is even better close up and if you get the chance during and after Games time go up it. It's going to have some amazing features put in the viewing platform.
