Cate Blanchett's Corrupt Arts Council

Bob Byrne has an interesting post up at his Clamnuts blog about his attempts to get funding from the Arts Council of Ireland. It gives a great insight into the insidious nepotism that goes on in this country. A struggling talent creating something unique and original gets turned down, while a successful writer gets an €8,500 grant on top his already assured 12,180 annuity.

In these days of unkempt beds, dead cows and arses; it's quite refreshing to see some real stand-out potraiture. Specifically look out for his Johnny Cash and Cate Blanchett.
