I did a guest post on nicolejensen.com, about the Semi-Permanent Brisbane conference. I’ve gone into more detail than I did in my own recap of the event, raving about the good stuff and ranting about, I mean suggesting fixes for some of the bugs.

thanks kasia, there are many more to come! just realised how far behind schedule i am now! hahah was meant to do 1 a day! ahh well….

i know, i did 1 issue of a zine last year, and totally keen to make it even better this year.. was gonna come out in march, but was delayed, and now i need to rework the whole thing!

ian francis really did reveal a lot about his work process, i loved it too.. but i think timba was my highlight!

Great rundown on all the speakers qwux! I really enjoyed Timba’s presentation and it makes me just want to start making zines again! ha ha!

But I think i most enjoyed Ian Francis, just i love it when artists are not afraid to reveal their processes and how they get their ideas (kinda like the way Natalie shows videos of her doing a drawing – i love that!). The colours in his work too are totally mesmerising!

@Natalie – thanks for the birthday wishes. :)

I think it’s a sign that uni is the worst place to be inspired :PP

They told us about the Melbourne conference, but I didn’t see tickets being made available! I don’t know how well I’d handle a two day event, sitting down the whole time yannow… I don’t know how you guys in Sydney do it!

I must agree about the seats. my leg kept going numb and i became one of those annoying fidgeters.

it definately was inspiration overload though! i left with a bit of a headache afterwards.
