It’s been a long time.

Sorry I have been offline for so long. My new job at Wish has been keeping me very busy. Over the last four months I have spent most of my time obsessing about typefaces, illustrators and photographers, and redesigning the magazine. It has been a fantastic and rather daunting process and I feel totally revitalised by the journey.

 

Since starting at Wish I‘ve had the opportunity to work with some great illustrators. Some are old favourites, such as Edwina White, www.edwinawhite.com/;  Marco Cibola, www.novestudio.com/marco2006/main.swf-;  Christopher Nielsen, www.christophernielsenillustration.com,  and Mark Gerada, www.markgerada.net/ and some new ones such as Kat Macleod, www.ortolan.com.au;  Andrea Innocent, http://www.otoshimono.org/,  and Ben Saunders, www.themilkagency.com.au/.  They are all represented by Jeremy Wortsman of the Jacky Winter Group,  www.jackywinter.com. I also received a flyer in the post from a lovely illustrator called Hennie Haworth, www.henniehaworth.co.uk and she has helped to make my December issue look fantastic.

 

There are lots of exciting things happening at the moment. The United Nations of Cupco exhibition, http://www.cupco.net/cupcounitednations.html, which will be my daughter’s first group show, opens in early december at The Damien Minton Gallery, www.damienmintongallery.com.au My partner John also has a piece in the exhibition, along with about 60 other artists including Euan Macleod, J.Otto Siebold, Nerissa Lea, Reg Lynch, Leo Robba and Jon Burgerman.

 

Another exciting piece of news is my friends at Queen Street Studio (remember spaceAid?) have been asked to manage The Fraser Studios Project. Based in the Old Kent Brewery site in Chippendale, the project aims to initiate the creative use of the three vacant warehouses that have been temporarily transformed into a multi-disciplined art space. In September they launched stage one, a visual arts residency programme, and 10 local artists have been selected to participate in the first three month residency.  In November they are launching the Fraser Studios Multipurpose Performing Arts Space which will provide independent performing artists with a subsidised rehearsal studio.

Looking forward to hearing from you….
