BONUS! glimpse of the Other World's Zine Fair!
Hey guys, hope you’re well!
Here’s lil old me sitting in the gorgeous grounds of the Brisbane Powerhouse. It’s been a little bit of a delay getting this blog out to you, but I promise it’s because I’ve been doing some awesome stuff I am absolutely thrilled to share with you. I want to keep this short and sweet because it’s about the awesome people who put their hearts and souls into what they do, like the wonderful people at the Other Worlds Zine Fair. I had the pleasure of conducting a few spur of the moment interviews with people who deserve to have a voice (I wish I could have interviewed everyone!) Thank you Rosie and Dan, Ben, Nolan, Samantha, and Fionn! Check out their stuff, you won’t be disappointed!
So, just under a couple of weeks ago, I heard this guy, Matthew Haynes on the Australian Design Radio podcast, and I liked the cut of his jib, and related to his undying passion to raise the profile of the Brissie design community. I want to do the same for young Sydney designers, and I had to reach out to him. I don’t condone this, but I added him on social media, and I started chatting with him. Next minute, he’s convinced me to come to The Design Conference (affectionately known as TDC) which was to be held a week later, I took the plunge, and booked my tickets. When I got there, I was alone, it was just me, amongst a bunch of maroons, until I met Laurie, an amazing artist, and curator, at First Coat art gallery in Toowoomba. We hit it off straight away, and she became my conference buddy. Little did I know that matt and Laurie knew each other, and on the last day, when I was late, admittedly because I was buying an awesome pants suit because I’d run out of things to wear, I meet up with Laurie who tells me that Matt wants us to go on stage.
