Oh snap!
Had another Shillington College talk the other night, this time in front of the part time class who are just about to get ready putting their folios together. Found it a bit harder than talking in the morning, bit tired, bit of brain fade… not quite in the zone but I still managed to say the things I wanted to say (I think!).
Hehe. Nike, Converse, Top Gun… just having fun. I crack myself up sometimes :)
ALL STARS ‘Spring Picnic’ was a massive success so we’re doing it again, but this time with a European Flavour. ALL STARS, VWGolf.net.au and Euro Style Tuning would like to invite all European car enthusiasts to enter their European cars into the EUROFEST Show ‘n’ Shine. We’re sure there will be a huge assortment of street, show, go, slow and everything in-between, gathering on the grass for a social day by the river. :)

Whoo hoo. We’re doing it again, this time in Sydney! Like the bastard child of an outdoor music festival and a live cooking demonstration, each presenter will be performing a unique ‘act’ which will reveal the creative process from start to finish.
Melbourne sold out last time, hoping the same for dour Sydney show! Please do come along (and help me spread the word!). For more info, visit: http://thefieldtrip.com.au/
Care package from Monster Children. Love what these guys do!
This morning I was invited to discuss the industry and web/digital design issues at Shillington College.
The meeting focussed on the industry’s current state, expectations of junior graphic designers as well as content that they should be teaching students. There was a group of us, a mixture of teachers and industry representatives which made for some great chatter, and lots of great opinions as well as ideas.
Yesterday I had the opportunity (thanks to Corrie!) to speak to some ‘soon to be graduating’ Shillington College Design Students. I’ve not done a Shillos talk in years, was a little nervous (always am before a talk) but I absolutely loved it and got so much out of it myself (I hope the students got a lot out of my talk as well!).
I find talks a great way to take a step outside of myself to see where I’ve come from and where I’m at right now. I spoke for about an hour but could easily have gone on and on for many more haha. Be sure to visit: http://www.shillingtoncollege.com.au
PS: No photos because I forgot my camera! :(
Finally got off my bum and got these T’s printed. Initially I was using Redbubble, a print on demand service. Whilst they print on American Apparel T’s the print itself was crap (digital printing). Screen Printing > Digital Printing any day. Find them (and a lot more new goodies) in the Zen online shop: http://zengarage.com.au/shop

Some of my new designs got delivered today. Looks like this is the stuff I’ll be wearing for a few months from now on! Like uniform, every day. Hehe :)
Gearing up for ALL STARS this month @ Motorex! It’s going to be awesome. I’ve just launched this new site, but facebook is where it’s at!
