	More champagne at the offices!
	Once more we’ve been drinking ourselves into a stupor here at Liquid 6 Image Design as this weekend saw our 10,000th unique visitor hit the website on the same day as our 34,000th page load. Given that we’re just over a year old and are only ‘live and updated’ ten weeks of the year those are pretty good statistics. It would seem that we were right when we thought that visitors want more from an arts website than just lists and maps and that if you provide it, they’ll keep coming back to you. Thanks to all our visitors and contributors. Now, back to work!

	Marina Cobra
	Since meeting her last year, Marina has been one of our favourite artists here at OHO. From her beautiful abstract patterns to her striking and poetic interpretations of modern superhero mythology she bridges the gap between graphic and fine art effortlessly. Treat yourself by visiting her home for an excellent exhibition of modern art at it's finest - full of ideas, style and beauty. continue and previous articles

The Return of the Open House Virgin

The house is busier, the cakes are selling well but it's proving a lot more stressful for Christina this year. She seems to have been cursed by a Jewellers Coven (!); struggles with artists not 'knowing' when they were supposed to be invigilating; and is perplexed that the setting up seems to take about four times longer than she thought it would.
As Christina can testify, it takes a lot of hard work to make something look easy...

	Pocket Money Buyers
	Following on from last weeks article our intrepid junior reporters venture into several more houses to comment on the art and the reception they get on their arrival. A younger perception of art is an interesting thing and often their more immediate reaction to an artists work ultimately proves more revealing. It's also interesting to see the reaction to the prices charged for work through young eyes and this week they view and comment on work that costs just several pounds right through to work costing several thousands. continue and previous articles	Are you lookin' at me?
