Last week I was honoured to be a keynote speaker at the 2013 Agideas International Design Conference in Melbourne. I met so many wonderfully inventive people, some of them a little batty which was fun, and had the most amazing experience. A superbly structured and well run event by Ken Cato and Design Matters.http://www.agideas.net/coming-event/design-forum/speakers/speaker?speakerId=262

Another month, another poster for Low Rez. We're playing a regional concert -as part of our So Far series- in a pretty town called Meeniyan, in South Gippsland here in Victoria.  Can't wait.

Home and Away meets Neighbours

My image for this month's Law Institute Journal celebrated an article in The Irish Law Society Gazette chronicling a meeting of the leaders of the law societies of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and England and Wales. Apparently they were all photographed looking bored around the board room table and the heading was 'Home and Away meets Neighbours'. Remember when Kylie was a suburban car mechanic, those were the days.

Ten Favourite Places to Visit in Newfoundland and Labrador.

I had some fun doing this illo for McGraw Hill Ryerson in Canada. Mack Furlong wrote a humorous article on Ten Favourite Places to Visit in Newfoundland and Labrador. This image depicts a fishing village called Maudlin Brook where, legend says, a mordant Irish immigrant in the nineteenth century wept so much that he created the river that runs through it. This is not him, this is a jolly old fisherman of today.
