FreshART 2007

A few weeks ago as part of the FreshArt Festival in Port Macquarie, I ran an introduction to Events Management for young people in the area.

Check out the 'Youtube' link and the 2007 FreshArt Ad put together by Ben Swinbanks of Blue Ice Graphics - Swinny was one of the participants in the Events Workshops and edited another short video piece for the "Editions" Youth Team as part of their funding submission. Swinny is a volunteer on the FreshArt Committee. He's a twenty year old graphic designer who's worked on building a new fresh media campaign for the FreshArt & Hastings to Ocean Festivals including the events calendar at the end of this post.

FreshArt opens the Hastings to Ocean Festival on Saturday June 30th and runs over the school holidays till the 'grand finale' on Friday 13th July.

It includes the FreshArt Exhibition , FREE workshops including two I'll be presenting - An Introduction to Digital Photography and a three day Short Fimmaking Intensive as well as live performances over the July school holiday break.

Congratulations Swinny and the FreshArts team for putting together a great program!

Michelin Man

This mobile sculpture was an afternoon's project for a bush doof some months ago....I bought the air conditioning duct real cheap from a recycling joint in Brisbane a few weeks earlier and was just hanging [excuse the pun] to make something of it - well a few beers and some rope and a pair of pliers and voila!

The best part of this sculpture/mobile was that when the sound system was pumping, he actually began dancing in time with the music - it was a bit freaky but then I discovered some rascal on the end of the rope - hidden behind the trees - had quite a few people fooled bigtime!

He stands about 3.5 metres tall and looks pretty impressive in all his shiny glory!
